Rare political statement from the world of Opera and Classical music.

Well, there goes that career.

Opera singers are amazingly ignorant of politics - their job being so very difficult and time consuming. But whenever they poke their heads up, they are overwhelmingly liberal.

I always try to get my opinions from artists. They’re always logical and correct...

Good afternoon.

I just want to be on the record stating that I, nor the First lady (my wife) do collective guilt, or guilt by association.

I hope the progressives/democRATs/Marxists reading this understand.

Plus, as a bonus, I don't do social justice (whatever that means).

Equal justice under the law is what this country was founded on... for those of you in Rio Linda, and the NAACP.

How the f-— am I responsible for a nut hundreds of miles from me? No one can answer that. Notice the logic does not follow to any other issue among the proudly ignorant left.

Bah. The only opera I ever liked was the one about the aliens: Aria 51.

That’s funny. I thought at 21 you were considered an adult and responsible for your own decisions.

I used to teach acting to opera students. They are the nicest people in show business but their training is as hard as ballet and so they have little time to consume news. This is generally a good thing because you can have a conversation with them without throwing up. Try that with actors.

Ms Dinato, I sincerely urge you to travel any of a number of large American cities with substantial numbers of African-Americans. I urge you to talk with the young black males in those cities and plead with them to give up their guns and quit slaughtering themselves and innocent blacks.

Maybe you can sing an aria for them...which I'm sure they'll appreciate. Do it now. Or wait until after midnight and walk down a ghetto street...unarmed.

They made it an all-whites-in-America-are-guilty issue..

born into a white middle class world, with no understanding of what an African American growing up underneath a a waving Confederate Flag might be experiencing – might be able to help affect change.

Where I have been guilty of such things, I ask for forgiveness.

No don't feel guilt just check out these federal government statistics vis-a-vis interracial crimes, white crime, black crime . . ..

and hope you will soon be one of the white victims of black violence. The chances are pretty good --

AND we will not and do not blame all Black Americans when it happens to you. Good luck that it will happen to you soon and you will fill free!

Direct links to the federal sources are included. This is not "some writer said", "the news said", or some BS like that.

I never heard of this bi*ch, put she is an emotional, clueless leftist dumb a$$.

When I saw the headline, I thought this harpie was on the TV series “The Sopranos.”

I find it interesting that a place will most likely choose to play her type of music to get those young urbanites to stop hanging around.

I thought that too.
Edie Falco who played Tony’s wife Carmela Soprano is just as libergal as this diva is.

Sorry, I should have clarified “Opera” Soprano in the title.
