Gospel singer, Tina Campbell, made a smug statement supporting Donald Trump for President during his bid for the office in 2016. Tina Campbell, of the powerful gospel dual, Mary Mary, nearly a year since Trump has been in office is feeling the consequence of her support for Trump, from her fans. She felt it clearly admitting: "...overall ticket sales haven’t shown that we have the support that we need to continue the tour at this time"
Since Mary Mary member and gospel singer Tina Campbell revealed her vote for former reality television star Donald Trump, disappointment has washed over her devout fan base because she ignored her people's history, and scorned their deep knowledge of white men! Despite Tina’s adamant defense and explanation for her political decision, fans did not buy it. In one movement she isolated herself from her people's collective history.
She should have kept her mouth shut and she should have studied what she really believed instead of insisting upon being the version of Christianity that is the source of Black people's tragedies. This raging conflict with so many Colored folks, like her, is the lie that supports the myth that some white guy, who looks like the white Jesus, will save 'us'. That little thing called 'studying to show one's self approved...' has to be intelligent counsel. Voting against one's own interest is the unstudied way of being both loyal to the perceptions of white people, and being a 'good Christian' making a stand to make white people feel good about themselves. - Gregory E.
