Crackin’ On the Queen

PETA’s putting Aretha Franklin on blast for sportin’ fur. But is that all they’re blastin’ her about?
“Music lovers may think of you as a ‘queen,’ but to animal lovers, you are a court jester,” wrote PETA spokesperson Dan Matthews. “Why not shed the old-fashioned look that adds pounds to your frame and detracts from your beautiful voice? Please consider donating your furs to the homeless as ‘queen of compassion,’ Mariah Carey, did. You’ll get a tax credit for the donation, and we at PETA will all sing your praises.”
If that wasn’t a jab at Ree Ree’s, er, girth…C’mon.

HOW DARE YOU PETA DISRESPECT an American treasure, our Queen of Soul! What do you stand for the protection of animals? Then why in the hell are you attacking Queen ReRe for her weight? I also might add that if she or anyone else want to rock fur then who are you (PETA) to say she can’t. Peta you parade around in leather shoes and you want Queen ReRe to donate her beautiful furs to the homeless. Why dont PETA donate your leather shoes to the homeless and wear lettuce shoes. Queen ReRe’s weight is her biz not yours. I think you(PETA) are going after the wrong people now! I mean bashing Queen ReRe for her weight, what does that solve or prove? Nothing except that you guys are just a bunch of azzholes who care more about belittling people than real issues you need to focuse on. Now that’s real talk!
PETA, I find it offensive that you eat plants and in most cases their reproductive system. This of course is cruel and unusual to me however, no one tries to belittle you or spray painting your tofu!
OF COURSE PETA BEEFIN.
LOOK LIKE DEY HAD TO KILL OFF A WHOLE RAINFOREST TO MAKE THAT DAMN JACKET. AINT NO 10 CHINCHILLAS GONNA MAKE HER NO PIECE OF CLOTHING.
THEY CUTTIN OFF RESERVATIONS. THERES NATIVE AMERICANS PISSED OFF. ENDANGERED SPECIES LOST! THEY DONE KILL A RAINFOREST TO MAKE THAT JACKET.
JUSTICE! JUSTICE I SAY!
LIBERTAD!LOL
PETA wants everyone to be vegetarians and wear hemp and cotton. How insane is that! Their leadership want to control your mind, dinner table and outerwear. However, they never attack those bikers boys in their LEATHER COATS, PANTS and SHOES. Whatsup with that!
Did Mariah Carey also give up her diamonds and other precious jewels wrought from the deaths, dismemberments and exploitations of miners (often children) in Africa?? Humans are animals also and with this I conclude that any misunderstanding is understanding whatever is misunderstood!
I love Aretha like I do Pattie and Gladys, but she do look a mess. She ain’t just looking tow up from the flo up because she done got big as a water buffalo, but because she is wearing clothing that isn’t flattering to her enlarged frame. If she wants to maintain the title, “Queen of Soul”, then she needs to dress for the part. A lot of yall are correct we have lost Luther, Barry, and Gerald prematurely because of weight. As for her wearing fur, who cares? White folks are seeing to it that we are all endangered and distinct.
Some of you Black people that speak negatively about Queen Aretha Franklin are do exactly what the white folk want you to do, tear a Sister down. Once again the White folk are looking at you hate on a an American treasure in the Black community. Queen ReRe weight and style of dressing is her biz not yours. Yes, we wear our beautiful furs, Pattie, Gladys, Mary Blidge, just to name a few. (And…..) Remember whether weight or not, when God call your number, you will go. It has been predicted that by 2030 White folk will be the minority. It’s really a shame that in ‘08 some Blacks still have a chain on the brain!.Please give Queen Aretha some R E S P E C T because she someone Mom. THINK! I conclude any misunderstanding is understanding whatever you misunderstood! LOVE & PEACE
YEAH…WHAT CHOCOLATES SAID …MUTHA*%#!’S
First off let me say that I love Aretha and she is the Queen. To those of you who are hating and I won’t say any names didn’t your parents teach you to respect your elders, who are you to talk about Aretha so disrespectfully? Some of you young people need to really watch your tones. As for PETA I am so sick of you guys and your scary tactics, I wear fur and I wish one of you would approach me, not all people believe animals are equal, and they belong outside if you’d like maybe you should join them.
I respect and love Aretha. I remember when I was young and my parents went to Las Vegas to see her peform and she had just been physcially abused by her ex pimp husband. It was sad acc. to my parents she looked hurt, swollen but still performed. Her money should bring her a person that can dress her acc. to her weight, skin color and correct her hair. More importnatnly she needs to address her health. Heart attacks are killingmore Black women and Latino’s than white females. Let the ego go and ‘respect” ypurself Aretha. Love yourself first …please
Refa has her chest hangin out more now than ever.
She could donate to plastic surgeons who have paitents wanting breast implants. Now that is ALL natural, woman.
PETA who?
she have nice voice but that dam clothers she need to sit her but down and fine someone can dress her nice
Hell I think people need to stop running their mouth all the damn time, and leacve Retha along!! If she’s happy about the way she look then who in the hell is any one else to judge her. And who in the hell is PETA? How dare you comment on her fur she work damn hard for it and she can do what ever she want with the fur,clothes she purchas.
F.Y.I (STOP HATEN)
Aretha needs to be concerned about her health,especially now that she’s getting older, and stop eating lil kids,eat looks like she eats lil arms and legs out of a trough.
Aretha stop eating all those chittlins and hogmawgs.
what! luv da fur.
