Is Pharrell Apolitical, Tone-Deaf Or Spineless?

For someone to release a boot worth $82 thousand, it would seem that he doesn’t care about the people who cannot afford these footwear.

In a world where DEI has destroyed the initiative to strive for more, Pharrell Williams is on track to become a leader in what disrupts DEI: Representation. A movie with no blacks in it may need DEI to some. But representation is a film featuring only black people made by black people.

Pharrell’s words on politics are similar to his standpoint on DEI. He has, though, shown his support for President Obama, Hillary Clinton and strove to be a conscious entertainer.

With all of this, he “hates politics.” But that circles around to DEI where Obama had been elected ironically as the first president not for his character but for the content of his character.

The nearly one hundred thousand dollar boots are metaphors for Pharrell’s existence. He should be able to design million dollar shoes for those who can cough up such figures.

The Representation is based on reason, individualism and capitalism. He has been criticized for performing at Israeli functions in light of the vicious falsehood that the IDF is engaged in genocide. To Represent for the people of Israel is not an affront to Foundational Black Americans (FBA) or anyone else. In fact it’s a boon. And as far as genocide at the hands of Israelis, they’re doing a lousy job of it. Populations in Gaza and in Palestinians have increased in the two years and more since the beginning of the war.

This is what Pharrell must face. Do you start your political dealings or do you shut them down altogether? DEI is a pernicious and insidious ideal because it seems to be good and gets worse over time until it completely corrodes the mind.

If Pharrell can show how Representation can drown out all the horrific voices that label him a race traitor or unable to process the ideals of the masses who listen to his music, he might have something.

The amount of people who have supported him in the past which led to his multi-million dollar fortune. From Adidas to Louis Vuitton, he has found status in the world of fashion. But why didn't he partner with Fubu? The excellence of this country has stretched for decades. Is it because it would look like DEI crawling on its belly to devour his status and funds?

Ironically, Pharrell has been able to become such a successful musician and businessman because of his ties to FBA. At the same time, yet, he has mainly involved himself in companies that don’t have too many black faces.

If it is in fact excellence that Pharrell wishes to see in his life and work, Representation must be the antidote to DEI. Instead black folk with their lips poked out wondering why they couldn’t get a top executive position, they should feel the urgency to create their own businesses and hire whomever they want in the C-suite.

The gatekeepers should not be demonized but respected. Pharrell has been a struggling artist but in time, he became a force not just in music but in fashion. His Billion Boys Club imprint became an instant staple for high-end streetwear. To clarify his stance on despising politics, he should note that the same politicians govern the tax rate for how much he can manufacture such clothes.

It’s not about politics. It’s all about morality. That should be the base of Mr. Williams’ thoughts and actions.

He should be rational and selfish in all his dealings especially in the realms of politics and commerce. That could be the reason why he abhors politics. Because so few leaders possess a firm backbone, it’s easy to grow weary and even cynical.

What Pharrell ought to do is discover the proper functioning of the mind and self-interest. This will contribute to his adverse stance on DEI and warmly welcome the advocacy of Representation.
