I was just thinking about this.

Why is it that celebrities such as musicians and actors get to still do their jobs in acting or music after the have been arrested for something, while a normal person cannot hold or get a job after a conviction for some type of crime?

Because we pander too much to celebrities. We pay them too much money and attention....and they feel priviliged. Plus, what is it they say...."money can buy you justice in America..."

Because celebs can make their employers millions of dollars thats why. Plus, they have talent and a skill that people not only wish they had, people ENJOY seeing and are willing to spend money for. Whereas, regular convicts can usually try to apply as a greeter at WalMart and maybe cost their employer $12,000 per year. Thats why!!

Because we are the ones who buy their records, pay to see their movies and pay to go to their pro games....the why is simple...we are the dummies who support their behavior.

Only white people can really.....

Anytime a black person does something in Hollywood; they're done. JJ still catching flack for boobie action at the 04 superbowl.

Because they don't care. This is an industry that gave a standing ovation to a pedophile rapist. They are the most immoral group of people.
