HI OMG I JUST HAD TO TELL SOMEONE THAT AFTER THE "NO TRUMP NO KKK" CHANT I FEEL...SAFE??? LIKE AS SOMEONE NOT MALE, STRAIGHT, OR WHITE I FEEL LIKE GREEN DAY WILL ALWAYS SPEAK UP WITH NO FEAR AND I FEEL SO GOOD? I ACTUALLY CRIED WATCHING???
I can guarantee you that your feeling is 110% justified!!! You CAN feel safe with Green Day and this is why:
- Billie Joe marched in the Black Lives Matter protest in New York
- he constantly uses his Instagram to draw attention to important issues like NODAPL, white supremacy, police brutality, islamophobia and a lot more, even though he has to put up with hateful comments every single time he posts things like these. really, just scroll down his feed, it’s impossible to miss those posts.
- they talk about Trump in basically every interview they do. they are absolutely not afraid to speak their mind.
- after Trump got elected Billie Joe talked to countless people - fans or non-fans - on his Instagram because talking to us was “therapeutic” and just acknowledged everyone’s fear
- Direct quote: “racism, misogyny, transphobia, homophobia, and xenophobes have no place in around green day and/or any green day event. […] if you are black, white brown, of any nationality or any faith, gay, straight, trans, girl, boy, punk, metal, goth, weirdo, skin, freak, and the overall marginalized of all ages we welcome you with all the rage and love we can muster.. we stand by you. together. in love and unity forever.. and that day will come when we get off the ground and punch right back.. even harder”
Green Day have never disappointed me in my life and they are the ones I can always count on to stand on the right side of history. They’re woke af and one of the realest celebrities out there.
