This has always been an annoyance to me, mainly because the celebs that speak out usually aren't experts, and most of the time, they're just talking out of their ass about topics they really know nothing about. Yes, they can reach out to a larger audience and get their attention, but do we always need to hear a celebrity's opinion on every topic?
It reminds me of the joke Dave Chappelle told from a standup act, "I remember right around September 11, Ja Rule was on MTV. 'We got Ja Rule on the phone, let's see what Ja's thoughts are on this tragedy.' Who the fuck cares what Ja Rule thinks at a time like this! This is ridiculous! I don't want to dance! I'm scard to death! I want some answers that Ja Rule might not have right now. You think when bad shit happens to me in the crib I sit there, 'Oh my god this is terrible! Could somebody please find Ja Rule! Get a hold of this motherfucker so I can make sense of all this! Where is Ja!?'"
