It seems the more politically involved and socially conscious a celebrity believes they are the more they are actually in need of having another set of eyes around to vet their social media wisdom. Case in point, the ever oblivious Alyssa Milano.
Debra Messing in another who is perpetually on the aggression — it is a real talent to make ”shrill” come through clearly in her tweets. Well she had some comments to make in regards to the recent announcement that Kanye West would run for President, and if you thought she might oppose the idea based on his policy platform let us show you otherwise.
Absolutely. He’s playing Jill Stein. He’s trying to take you g black voters from Biden. It’s disgusting. https://t.co/9tlAkn3JxU

Kanye is going to ”take” votes from Biden. You see, Biden owns those black votes — they BELONG to him!
Well one of those black voters had a few thoughts on this rather distasteful stance by the high-minded and very socially upright actress.
You just can’t stop dipping can you @DebraMessing? Your connotation is racist?.
1. Black voters are not owned by anyone. Our vote should be earned every election cycle. 2. We can think for ourselves & don’t need your help. 3. Sometimes it’s best to stay out of family business. https://t.co/RVsqJFDbS4— Nina Turner (@ninaturner) July 5, 2020
Debra went about correcting this POC female on the proper way to think and act.
Oh PLEASE, Nina. Kanye is a avowed Trump supporter. Trump’s numbers have plummeted, Trump doubles down on his racist platform at Mt Rushmore, and 100 days before election Kanye is going to announce NOW? I thought you were smarter than than Nina. Clearly it is an attempt to help https://t.co/Cszxi5dTB0

A black voter is attempting to inform Debra about the implication made about how she is ”supposed” to vote. Her comment about her vote being earned is a salient one. But the enlightened Ms. Messing was having none of it.
Trump. Biden swept the AA vote in the South. Kanye has millions of young AA fans. It’s not racist to say that Kanye can take Biden leaning voters from him. It’s NUMBERS. STATISTICS. If you want to use this to grab your spotlight, by all means. If you really care about the AA

Community having their vote counted, I’ll have Stacey Abrams call your when I speak with her this week.

Just astounding. A white, wealthy celebrity — the very definition of privileged — telling a black woman that she is voting wrong, and does not ”really care” about the African American community. Not nearly as much as the millionaire actress cares, you see.
It is times like this when you do not want to shut down an individual, but let them keep talking as they expose who they actually are, in their own words.
Nice whitesplaining there, Deb.

If you have to say “It’s not racist…” it most likely is.
You’re assuming that all of Kanye’s fans are Black and that we would all vote for a president based on whether we think he is a good musician.
Do you see what’s wrong with your logic there?

I am ashamed of you. You should not be dragging any woman down. You should not be insulting any woman. Nina has fought for women's rights. Not just Black women's rights. Nina is a great role model for any young girl. Black women work harder for their rights than anyone else.
— Alexa Nielsen (@AlexaNielsen6) July 8, 2020
Uh, she works harder than Debra Messing’s tweets??? This does not seem accurate.
Yikes. As Lin-Manuel Miranda might say, "this is a flawed tweet, composed by a flawed person . . . "

This one is by far my “favorite”. I’m going to order my black friend to call you and explain why I’m not a racist for calling people stupid and easily manipulated based on skin color.https://t.co/8O0nYFeWtV https://t.co/4MLHLunVPe

They’re a fan of his music, not his politics. He’s conservative and a Trumper. If you think they’d overlook that and vote for him, that says waaaay more about Joe Biden than it does about them
— Nadine’s Left Eye (@DogfromTheThing) July 7, 2020
Oh man, there is so much truth in this assessment, and Debra Messing does not even grasp that this is her message.
The controversy over @kanyewest running for President exposes a real truth about The @JoeBiden campaign… People aren’t voting for him, they’re voting against Trump,they have no choice. Which means any alternative, no matter how hilariously inept becomes a creditable threat. pic.twitter.com/utlh4MsMNn

If the DNC had put up a stronger candidate we wouldn’t be worried about votes being taken from them ??♂️
— Josh (@joshakatz) July 7, 2020
This is a thought that will find no purchase in Deb’s infertile brainpan. She is a woman that sees a Kanye Presidency in only racial terms, and then insists that in doing so she is not racist. Somehow.
This is when you should re-read what you wrote and DELETE!!

As we said – this woman needs to hire a tweet editor.
