Why is acceptable for American Negro performers to lip sync on a show that is supposed to be live? Taylor Swift's recent performance on SNL was live and it was horrible. A few years ago, Ashlee Simpson was caught lip syncing and was excoriated in the media as a fraud. So why is it ok for this latest mocha colored creation to pass off a taped performance as a live one? Is it this same sense of entitlement that has resulted in our once great country being saddled with "little black dumbo" as its President?
