SoldierofLove Posted September 24 Posted September 24 Janet cemented herself as an Icon by being a champion for justice and equality. She famously said: Prejudice! No! Ignorance! No! Bigotry! No! Illiteracy! No! Her inspiring words got Rhythm Nation to #26 on ATRL's Best Albums of All Time list. The Velvet Rope made it to #12. Now that Janet has revealed that she is no longer the leader of the Rhythm Nation, should she be removed from the list? Does her ignorance turn you off from her music? Was she a phoney all along? 3 3 8
Slap Posted September 24 Posted September 24 No, I think her comment while incredibly stupid and ignorant does not erase her legacy. It is embarrassing and out of character though and I think she is better when she breaks away from her toxic cult of a family. 6

Johnny Cash Posted September 24 Posted September 24 Yes. ATRL hates to separate the art from the artist, so it would be hypocritical to keep her there now that she likes spreading racist misinformation. 1 1

She was uninformed and ignorant then, we just didn’t know. 1 1 1
Minto Posted September 24 Posted September 24 that entire list is diabolical in general anyway it means nothing 1

Lightbringer007 Posted September 24 Posted September 24 um no ... one bad comment does not erase one of the most legendary female icons of all time be fr
Punky Rooster Posted September 24 Posted September 24 It's also Janet's belief that we all have the need to feel special, but for some that is impossible - we can't cancel her for having another differing belief.
