Just because Tony Bennett was a diversity hire who got his job through affirmative action…
It doesn’t mean he wasn’t qualified.

A lot of outlets have been telling the story of Tony Bennett marching with MLK.
But have you ever heard the story about how “wokeness,” DEI, Jesus, an actual anti-racist, 2 church choirs & 1 of the greatest dance moves of all time got Tony Bennett into show biz?

Black people — is there literally anything y’all won’t turn into a joke? Pls 😭
