(19,107 posts)He's trying to belittle her because she's black. She worked for him? Giving a concert at a venue with your name on it doesn't mean she worked for you, why bring that up?

(5,810 posts)Even in her death, he figures a way to try to belittle her by claiming to be her employer. Screw you, tRump. No way you are fit to even comment on the undisputed QUEEN. Hate to inform you but when YOU die (sooner rather than later, oh, please!) there will be no weeping, wailing or gnashing of teeth. Instead a loud hurrah will erupt across the world! Good bye to rotten rubbish!

Aretha helped define the American experience. In her voice, we could feel our history, all of it and in every shadeour power and our pain, our darkness and our light, our quest for redemption and our hard-won respect. May the Queen of Soul rest in eternal peace.

I'm guessing that was him trying to undermine Affirmative Action.
