loisk, I didn't want to hijack your thread....

This is in regards to the Aretha Franklin church service.

But, talk about sensitivity, I'm not sure why this Bishop thought he needed to apologize, for his hand placement. I guess I'm just not that sensitive. Also, some parishioners were offended by Areana Grande's dress. It looked good to me. Oh, the other comment the Bishop made about taco bell, I thought that was funny.

, but as I understand it some of the church people thought his hand placement and her dress violated their code of behavior in a black church.

Everyone is entitled to their opinion. That goes for both those parishioners who found it offensive, and those that didn't.

I don't think I ridiculed anyone. I just stated my opinion.

I don't think your observations are demeaning in any way. I deleted that comment.

Well after all he is not a catholic priest and she is definitely not a little boy. i hope i am not offending anyone by
stating the truth.
I also don't think she should have dressed like that for a funeral.

Wyliec what has this got to do with hijacking my thread ? What is the connection between a church service and my thread ??

If it's about 'sensitivities' in general, I get it... No drama either way, just mystified...

I too was wondering why such a short dress for a funeral.

You're talking about it a day later, right? That's the reason. It wasn't a funeral, it was a gig/promotional opportunity.

I agree. Note the difference between Franklin and McCain's services.

I am thinking this is another thread headed for a short ride.

Linda and I discussed both subjects between us after I read what the "net" had to say.

Needless to say--the speakers at both funerals, and some of the stuff that was said and done, left much to be desired--IMO.

Everything has to be politicized these days.

I will keep my "real" comments between Linda and I. This is NOT the place--IMO

May both people RI Peace.
