Has Janet posted abything about Orlando?

I'm glad Janet finally posted a little something. That video is sad as hell but its moving and any little hope and love helps.  This tragedy is really hitting close to home. That could have been me or anyone of my friends.  A lot of people should know these gay bars these kids go to are so much more than just a bar.  They are a safe haven where you can go to be express who are you without being judged.  This whole weekend I was in LA to celebrate and in the back of mind it saddened me to think I could potentially be in danger.  A man on his way to the pride parade sunday morning was arrested with guns and explosives in his car.  The past couple of years I have seen violence escalate at the SF pride parade. There have been stabbings and shootings and just hate spread on a day meant for acceptence and equality.  I don't wanna go off but I'm just at a loss of words over what has happened in Orlando.  To a world sick with racism, homophobia, ignorance and biogotry. Get well soon .

Well she sure felt it appropriate to upload a "feel-good-happy-go-lucky-watch-me-make-silly-stupid-faces" video to her YouTube account... 

Like cmon Jan, you couldn't wait a fkn week..?? ?

I'm sure her team did that. I got into it yesterday with someone on instagram cause they got mad Janet didn't say anything about the attacks and said "Madonna even breaks the law for us gays" and I told him "Janet has said plenty about and for the LGBT community as well as speak on homelessness and racism. Is she supposed to speak on it everytime something happens?"

Holy hell of course she's not supposed to do anything ...but her doing NOTHING would've been better than her/her team uploading such a dumb video at a time of crisis in her home country..

again, it's not rocket surgery, folks! ?

ok her team did something dumb. It's not like it's the first time especially the whole promotion of the album. Are you really surprised? Hell she didn't even say anything about Prince's death.

when you put it that way, then no I guess I shouldn't be surprised.. You're right, her team has dropped the ball time and time again for the last year..

But some of ya'll are too much sometimes i swear.. I don't think anybody is backtracking on anything.. The feelings I felt and the offense I took yesterday after that YouTube video was uploaded are still there and valid..

my point was (this entire time) was why did that video NEED to be uploaded and shared with everyone at that particular moment...?? Why couldn't she have waited to tweet/post/say what she did today regarding the massacre, and THEN upload her dumb pretentious video.??

ya'll need common sense courses if you can understand the logic behind that..

The issue isn't two women kissing but her reposting images of her VMA performances where she kissed Britney in the midst of this tragedy to me seems like self-promotion. Instead of elevating the victims it again becomes about her and her stunts.

Also the pictures she posted of the two black men kissing might be from porn? (Don't quote me on that)

If Janet posted an old picture of her kissing a woman with #loveislove when she's not explicitly apart of that community I would side eye her too. 

You would ned to get the fuck over it too.

I'm going to put a face to ONE of the lives lost that day..

this is a screenshot of Shane's Instagram gallery/account (I'm sorry but I couldn't find his last name)..

he was slaughtered along with 48 other innocent people..

Shane was a Janet Jackson fan...

may he rest in peace..?

I hope some now find it possible to believe how I could have been offended by her lack of concern when she uploaded that YouTube video yesterday... I'm over it now, but my feelings were valid..

It really pisses me off that because certain people don't agree with someone elses lifestyle they feel the need to go out and kill innocent people. Being Gay is no different then being black, white, Latino, etc. That's the way I see it.

I agree with you but I think we often times attribute things done in Janet's name as her having done them and often I don't think Janet is uploading or doing a thing. She finally did speak and Im grateful she did, but I don't assume its her speaking often its her team

you're probably right.. I feel like Janet is so far out of touch with not only her fanbase, but her humble roots and beginnings.. And just like it was probably her team that did the YouTube upload yesterday, it's again likely that her team was the one to tweet the SKB video and "#WeAreOrlando"... I'm just glad she did finally "say" something, but wish the pretentious video uploaded yesterday could've been held off at least until after her "statement" was released..

Janet Jackson Shares Video Tribute to Orlando Victims

YouTuber and Janet Jackson superfan Lamont Hicks posted a tribute to the victims of the Orlando massacre on Monday, set to Jackson's socially conscious song "Shoulda Known Better" from her 2015 album Unbreakable. On Tuesday (June 14), the singer herself shared the video on Twitter with her own message of remembrance.

"You'll never be forgotten," she wrote alongside the video.

As Janet sings "Why, why, why?," photos and names of the slain flash across the screen. Hicks bookends the clip with a Barack Obama speech on gun control.

Btw!

I hope by posting that screen shot of Shane's IG that folks on here realize how inappropriate it was for some members like Norman to continually reply back to my statements of disappointment with LOL emojis..

so shameful.. This isn't a laughing matter, regardless of what angle you want to view it.. People were hurt and killed, and among them a ton of people all over this country (gay/straight/trans/black/white/purple/whatever) were deeply hurt as well.. For some on here to willingly ridicule and laugh at others raw emotions (and suggest that we'll still do and buy whatever Janet tells us to) is beyond belief..

:lmao: Look at the back tracking

You would think they would learn by now...

"No Sl333p is the only video we are getting from this era, this era is dead yall. We arent getting anything else....ugh"

 

Eventually info on a video for "Damnn Baby"  surfaces ...its basically confirmed. Then......

 

"She canceled the tour and just announced she's starting a family...so its OBVIOUS that the video for Damnn Baby has been shelved....ugh"

 

Oop! So much for that theory!!!!! :blink::mellow:

Janet KEEPS making a fool out of these ppl who SPEAK TOO FUCKING SOON :lmao::lmao::lmao::lmao::lmao:
