Stacey Dash defends Donald Trump by calling him “street”
After Donald Trump's Republic Presidential Primary rally in Chicago was cancelled due to violence on Friday, many fans on both sides of the aisle have made arguments for and against the GOP frontrunner. One of the weirdest defenses for Donald Trump comes from Stacey Dash.
The Clueless actress wrote on her blog that the reason why protestors are being sucker punched isn't that Donald Trump encourages passionate followers to take out their frustrations with American politics on non-whites and liberals. It's just that Donald Trump is too “street”.
He knows both sides of the street. He knows the game. And he knows how to WIN IT. Like I've said… he doesn't bring a knife to a gun fight!
There's a lot of talk about Donald Trump being violent, condoning it, or at least inciting it.
But this is a total misread of our next President. First of all, he's not responsible for what every random guy does — out of thousands. (And by the way, I don't condone the violence that has happened so far.)
Second of all, he's not violent, he's just “street.” He was born in Queens. Of course, that doesn't mean he was hustling on the street, dodging bullets. I know he had a privileged upbringing that no doubt isolated him from much of the violence and strife that some people grew up with in the city…
…He's not apologizing. He's not backing down.
He knows both sides of the street. He knows the game. And he knows how to WIN IT. Like I've said… he doesn't bring a knife to a gun fight!
The last person to be labeled as “Street” in pop culture was Idris Elba and that didn't work out that well.
