Recently, R&B singer and songwriter Ginuwine has come under fire after refusing to let a transsexual by the name of India Willoughby forcibly kiss him. He is being called transphobic because of it, which is on the same lines of being called homophobic, a title that is constantly placed on the Black community (especially straight Black men).
Evidently we aren't allowed to say no or have a preference or we're shamed and attacked, but let me show you the difference in treatment. The tweet below was posted January 10, 2018 and the situation with Genuine aired this month, which is still being discussed January 10, 2018.
Why is it that the Democratic Sen. of New York is catching hell but not India Willoughby?
Did this person not try to forcibly kiss Ginuwine the way the woman alleges that Jeff Klein kissed her? The only difference is one was successful with pulling it off and the other failed. I just wanted to highlight this hypocrisy going on at the same time because we're usually the ones labeled guilty even when non-Black people are in similar shoes and labeled a victim. I think it's a bad idea for Ginuwine to be on this show in general, because he's a target and the results will be applied to the rest of us. From what I hear, this is the second attempt where someone tried him, and he'd better watch his back. If going on shows means there will be a reinforced notion that we're bad people, is it worth it?
