Normally I would not have been as agressive to someone on twitter as I was here but this is different He is the editor of the music world's bible! What he says and his opinion carries weight! Billboard is suppose to be neutral. I have to say that I thoroughly believe that there is a double standard in this country in how black artists who suffer additons are treated especially black women.

It's all tinged with a bit of racism/sexism that they would dare not admit. Would we see keith tweeting a youtube of Britney spears shaving her heard or exposing her cooch or going after the pas with an umbrella crazed out of her mind or screaming about getting committed to a mental hospital? of course not. Do we even see many mentions of Britney's past problems in articls written about her? no we don't or rarely.

This just left a bad taste in my mouth especially in the wake of the latest tabloid rumour that i'm sure he is aware of. He is not just a person on twitter, he should be held to a higher standard. In his profile, he proudly states his postion at Billboard magazine.

Shaking me head, if people think there is a level playing field in this industry for minorities. It's not.

BTW, I didn't tweet to him solely as a whitney fan. I've expressed on this site many, many times that i'm an advocate for people who suffer with the illness of substance abuse and mental illness. It would have offended me if it was jane doe on the street and elicited the same strong response from me

people are subject to their opinion but again to clarify, i'm on twitter and i see a lot. I am by no means a sensitive whitney fan. I've been in the trenches for decades.

I see so much shit posted on twitter every day against whitney and other people. I let those slide. However, when someone in the industry post inappropriate ish like that that not just mocks whitney, an industry giant but parodies drug addiction, yes, i will exercise my right to overreach because as i've stated before, I'm an advocate for mental illness and substance abuse due to my training and work.

impartial music industry reference points shouldn't be twitting that ish. I maintain that he wouldnt' have done it for britney spears. There is no way he is unaware of the stories on whitney today and then he chose this day to post that youtube of all things. Go by his words not mind, i thought it was funny because she can't dance.

Ok, if that was the premise post an actual video that included whitney houston dancing not a debra parody of her drug illness all sweaty like a fiend. His twitter is an extension of his job at billboard magazine not his personal twitter. I follow him, i know what he tweets, it's industry stuff and if it is off color most of it is in quotes that he is tweeting to make others aware of what someone else did or said.



do you thing someone who runs a twitter and has on it editor or writer for the ny times and they post links to stories in the ny times and promote the nytimes on the twitter and state their job position and affiliation on the twitter account that they wouldn't be held accountable for anything that someone may find offensive. They sure would. Many jobs today bar employess for citing their jobs on their personal social media accounts or be held accountable up to inclding terminaition if somethng doesn't put the company in a good light.

The point is, he represents Billboard magazine not keith caulfield the individual and what he tweets carry weight especially if it is wrong or highly offensive which is why he ought to be held to a higher standard.

people post excertps from diane sawyer interview, bbb, and toher things showing whitney in a bad light and i ignore but then nobody knew them and they weren't employees of the largest industry reference publication.
