In Most Places, Racists May Want to Keep Their Opinions to Themselves

From the Hollywood Reporter:

Kristin Chenoweth was deeply affected by the backlash to her comments about the death of Charlie Kirk.

In an interview with The Hollywood Reporter published on Nov. 3, the “Wicked” star, 57, addressed the mixed reactions she received in September after writing on Instagram that she was “upset” about the conservative activist’s killing. “Didn’t always agree but appreciated some perspectives,” she said at the time. 

If you’re the owner of a gun shop, making a statement to the effect that you’re a Trump supporter, and have an appreciation for perspective of racism is probably not going to do you too much harm, since intelligent and compassionate people don’t hang out in places that assault rifles are sold.

On the other hand, if you’re a public figure, especially an entertainer, you might do well to keep your hateful opinions to yourself.
