When to comment

Interesting situation brewing that shows the racism present in the celebrity gossip world. From the AP:
In a story published Saturday in the Daily Record, Smith was quoted saying: "Even Hitler didn't wake up going, 'let me do the most evil thing I can do today.' I think he woke up in the morning and using a twisted, backwards logic, he set out to do what he thought was 'good.'"
The quote was preceded by the writer's observation: "Remarkably, Will believes everyone is basically good."
Clearly, the authors interpretation and the stars words are being twisted to create controversy where none exists. Slow news over the holidays, I guess and the celebrity news monster needs to be fed 24/7. Unfortunately, Mr Smith makes the classic mistake by extending the life of the story by feeding into it.

Unless you misspoke, say nothing else. This is a classic self-feeding controversy. There's another whole side to this particular story. I spoke with an insider at one of the major tabloids who confirmed that with very few exceptions, Kanye West was right, celebrity reporting does not care about black people. Its a disgusting fact. 

Don't believe me? The B2K controversy is going away pretty quickly. Admit it, you didnt even know there was a controversy.
