Veiled Racism

Journey

Sometimes racism in America and elsewhere is so veiled, it's hard to see it, but it's in there somewhere. You can feel it.

Not even calling Arnel Pineda (Philippine born and raised Asian lead singer of the band Journey) by his name is certainly bordering on something racial.

And then pointing out that he is forgetting "where" he came from is the dead give away.

It is like saying "go back to the (expletive) country you came from".

The band Journey had a lot of internal squabbles, back in the day and certainly up until today, all bands do. And we're not going into that mess as it will just get the point muddier.

It Wasn't Easy

Plus most people already know that die hard Journey fans adore Steve Perry and love some of the other ex Journey band members. And many of them do not appreciate Arnel taking over as the lead singer of the band they adore. Many just will not accept him.

But like it or not, Arnel is the lead singer of Journey now, and that's since 2007, way back when he was first "discovered" singing Journey songs in Youtube by Neal. 

So yes Arnel has paid his dues. Bringing up where he came is really uncalled for and just showing our true colors.

Land of the Free

Anyway, let's see, let's turn the tables, Michaele is currently the wife of Neal Schon, she was born Michaele Ann Holt -- was an Undergrad, worked in Make Up Counters, worked as a Make Up Artist, a Model, not sure for what, she is known for embellishing her credentials.

She got known for being a high profile Party Crasher, then a (Reality) TV Personality and a Wife of Celebrities.

Yes, so let's all never forget where we came from either. We all came from somewhere. Whatever color we may be. We all bleed dark red when cut, get black and blue when hit and we hurt inside like everyone else.

Peace out.
