Last night's Grammy Awards had some fireworks. Purported funny man Trevor Noah, last night made an outlandish remark about President Donald Trump and linked him to Epstein Island, a place he's NEVER BEEN
You may remember Noah, from Comedy Central. I remember him being a South African who performed at Pechanga's APARTHEID RESERVATION. I wrote about that in 2018 Trevor Noah, South African Ignores APARTHEID to Perform at Pechanga Resort & Casino and we wrote him letters asking him not to perform.

Funny/Strange how we can't get entertainers to stand up and refuse to perform. It is a special kind of disappointment when venues refuse to confront the harm it has caused. When venues deny the civil and human rights of their own people, they create a stain that no headliner should fully wash away. Artists like Trevor Noah build careers on authenticity, justice, and speaking truth to power, yet too often they perform on stages erected on unresolved injustice, like he did at Pechanga.
That contradiction is especially painful when the artist’s own history stands in stark contrast to the practices of the venue. Trevor Noah, a Black South African born into the legalized racism of apartheid, performed at the Pechanga tribal casino—an institution we argue operates under an apartheid-like system after disenrolling its own tribal members. For those who lived through or inherited the trauma of exclusion, watching that moment felt like a profound missed opportunity: a chance for solidarity that never arrived. When celebrated voices lend their presence without questioning the cost, it can feel as though injustice is being normalized, even rewarded. The disappointment isn’t just about who didn’t show up to denounce Pechanga's actions—it’s about the moral gap between the stories we applaud on stage and the realities we ignore behind it. See LeBron James.... who gets a TWOfer, with China AND Pechanga
