A “Special Guest” At Aretha Franklin’s Memorial Is Raising Some Eyebrows

TMZ just released some details about Aretha Franklin’s memorial service

TMZ just got a list of the performers who will take the mic at Aretha Franklin‘s memorial next Thursday, and it’s awesome!!!

Check this out:

The Four Tops
Gladys Knight
Johnny Gill
Ron Isley
Kiki Sheard
Kurt Carr
Jean Carne
Doug Carn
Ronnie McNeir
L.J. Reynolds
Tasha Page-Lockhart
Dee Dee Bridgewater
Dr. Bobby Jones
Jenifer Lewis
George Faison
Angie Stone
Raheem DeVaughn
Gracie Franklin
Eddie Franklin
Victorie Franklin
Santita Jackson
Ralphe Armstrong Band
Kern Brantley Band

So… I usually pride myself on knowing A LOT of music from across genres and time periods.

I don’t know who any of these people are. SORRY. (ACTUALLY – just spotted Gladys Knight. I DO know her.)

Then they drop this, like it’s no big deal:

Dr. Louis Farrakhan will be attending as a guest.

The event will go down at the Chene Park Amphitheatre in Detroit on August 30.

NOTHING TO SEE HERE. JUST THE BIGGEST LIVING RACIST IN AMERICA, ATTENDING A CELEBRITY’S MEMORIAL SERVICE. TOTALLY CASUAL.

Need a refresher on Farrakhan? Here’s him calling for the creation of a new nation for black people. A “black-only” state.

WHY does he call for SEGREGATION? Well… because white people are the devil:

Cute.

But yeah… he’s totally going.

Aretha Franklin: Our Queen And Our Giant In The Black Struggle

I am grateful that her voice caused many to survive another day, another week, another year. She could never know how many lives her songs, her soul, have actually saved. https://t.co/TKDNmMYuEe pic.twitter.com/HIXlJt4v7N

But um… how does Farrakhan feel about this?

“It’s not cool to be Jewish, or Negro, or Italian. It’s just cool to be alive, to be around. You don’t have to be Black to have soul.” – Aretha Franklin

Yeah. She said that.

Louis Farrakhan is attending Aretha Franklin’s memorial later this month. Will he FREAK if he finds out about this? https://t.co/laftoC7Dgc

After all, Farrakhan HATES the “SATANIC JEWS”

Lovely.
