about her name.

So the preacher is a racist AND a frotteur? Dang, it's a daily double of degeneracy







quote:

DETROIT (AP) — The bishop who officiated Aretha Franklin's funeral apologized Friday to Ariana Grande for how he touched her onstage and a joke he made about her name.
Bishop Charles H. Ellis III led Franklin's funeral and awkwardly greeted Grande on stage after she performed "(You Make Me Feel Like) A Natural Woman." Images of the moment showed Ellis' hand holding Grande well above her waist, with his fingers pressing against one side of her chest.

The preacher apologized in an interview with The Associated Press at the cemetery where Franklin was interred late Friday.

"It would never be my intention to touch any woman's breast. ... I don't know I guess I put my arm around her," Ellis said. "Maybe I crossed the border, maybe I was too friendly or familiar but again, I apologize."

quote:

Ellis also apologised to Grande, her fans and Hispanic community for making a joke about seeing her name on the program and thinking it was a new item on the Taco Bell menu.

this link from The Sun has better pictures of the grope and the racist joke

Translation: it’s easier to ask forgiveness than for permission.

It’s one thing to grab but the massage was over the top.

The gif is downright disgusting. He is literally massaging her breast.

No, his career must be destroyed. He said something that could be construed as racist by someone, somewhere.

Can you imagine if a white preacher at a republican funeral fondled a woman's breast against her will and then made a racist joke against Mexicans.

Just try to picture the ensuing outrage.

I think she’s Italian - why did he apologize to the Hispanic community?

Let a white guy say it and see if it's racist or not.

Good Lord. Democrats can't even make it through a funeral without molesting someone.
