INDIA ARIE WRITES OPEN LETTER TO BLUE IVY CRITIC

“Why does anyone get the idea that its ok to make fun of a child?
 In public no less? This celebrity culture that hypnotizes people into thinking a person is LITERALLY NOT REAL because you see them on television is a spell the watcher HIM or HER SELF MUST BREAK. Blue Ivy — is a CHILD. And ANYONE thinking to themselves right now: “But she was born with a silver spoon in her mouth so what does it matter what I say” — Denying ANY PERSON their humanity, is a GAME we should ALL stop playing. WHY? Because it’s the kind of PERSON YOU WANT TO BE. Why NOT be a person who is loving towards human kind as a whole AND people as individuals?
 WHY NOT be a person protects the hearts of children? I think! all these people making negative comments would feel the SAME WAY if Blue Ivy’s hair were TOO DONE. If she had a relaxer, of Hair pulled too tight at the edges. Being gentle with a child’s hair is simply appropriate – this goes the same for ALL children. Come ya’ll Lol Were ARE better than this.”  ~ India
I think we have beat the Blue Ivy thing to death, personally I am tired of it and while many share my sentiment, I was still glad to see another celeb speak out about it. India is a perfect spokesperson because this sort of thing hits home for her having been natural for as long as she has. Blue is a child, being ridiculed before she is even 5 years old… I am going to stop there! What do you think about what India had to say? Do you think this is something more celebrities should voice?
