The Beat Goes On

Hello My Dear Friends! I often wonder if there is a light at the end of this tunnel of insanity that has become our day to day existence! Hillary Clinton, in a recent speech, called on Donald Trump to come out of his ivory tower and listen to the common folk. She then went home to her modest little $2 million Westchester Estate, or was it her $2.85 million Washington, DC colonial, maybe the NYC condo. I don't know. I do know that hypocrisy never rests. In other insanity, Ted Cruz and John Kasich have "joined forces" to beat Donald Trump. I've got news for you boys. The windshield doesn't care if it's one bug or two. The windshield always wins. Anyway, enough about politics.
Beyonce's new single "Sorry" has her Beyhive, as it's known, cyber slashing women they believe are "Becky with the good hair". If you're smart enough to NOT know what I'm talking about, the aforementioned "Becky", according to the song, had an affair with Bey's hubby Jay Z. Now, I actually care less about this than I do the Kardashians, however, cyber-bullying is a real problem today and, instead of condemning it, Beyonce seems to be basking in it. Her loyal followers first thought "Becky" was designer Rachel Roy. Well, some of them did. Others confused her with Rachel Ray and started attacking her. Can you imagine Rachel Ray with Jay Z? LOL. Anyway, both Rachel Ray and Rachel Roy were overrun on all social media forums by The Hive. It was brutal. Now they've turned their sights on British singer Rita Ora. When celebrities don't condemn their fans bad behavior, they become responsible for it. Cyber-Bullies, like the Beyhive and Beliebers, adopt a pack mentality and try to one-up each other with their crudeness and cruelty in an attempt to catch the attention of their idol. The problem is, Cyber-Bullies don't just attack celebrities. They attack everyone. 9 teen suicides this year alone have been directly connected to cyber-bullying. It's a real problem. People like Beyonce should be using their power over their followers to stop Cyber-Bullying, not re-tweeting their venom and encouraging the behavior. It's a damn shame when someone as popular as Beyonce will use the Super Bowl halftime show to glorify the Black Panthers but she can't muster the courage to ask her fans not to act like animals.
