Whenever Whitney Houston is brought up anywhere online, chances are somebody is gonna call her a dead crackhead. It happens pretty much every time her name is brought up. Same happens when Amy Winehouse’s name is brought up. I look at all this, and I see them all as hypocrites. Here is why…
There were many musicians from the past that people admire, but the only thing is, that many of their favorite musicians either died of drugs or the ones who are still alive had a past with drug addiction. That includes crack, cocaine, heroin, etc. All of it. My question is, why would so many people hate and disrespect Whitney Houston, when some of the heroes they liked were drug addicts too? Jimi Hendrix, Janis Joplin, Jim Morrison, Kurt Cobain, Layne Staley, Jerry Garcia, Elvis Presley, Ike Turner, James Brown, etc. This list can go on and on, guys. Those guys I listed are well respected by the public too…but when it comes to Whitney, all everyone wants to do is hate, hate, hate.
You don’t see people calling Layne or Jerry or Janis low life drug addicts, you see everyone respecting them to this day. Why do people respect them? It’s because they feel that their personal problems should be separate away from the music. Why can’t it be the same with Whitney, you know what I mean? Whitney Houston should be remembered for her music and film career. She shouldn’t be remembered for her drug addiction, but it is what it is. The reason Whitney’s drug addiction is more recognizable than her career, is because, that’s how the media made it out to be. I totally blame it on the media, that’s how they control people. The media heavily focused on her drug problems more than her career when she was alive back in the day.
You should not hate these people for their problems. You need to give them their support and wish nothing but the best for them. When you call them low lives for their drug problems, they are not the low life. The low life is pretty much, you. Why? Because people just don’t understand how difficult it is to battle their demons. On top of this, I can see how people get onto drugs ’cause this world is crazy and messed up.
I also think that the reason people hate Whitney for her drug addiction is because she’s a woman, and she is black. People are assholes when it comes to Whitney Houston and I’m not afraid to say it. She was a talent. She was the best of all time. Despite her drug problems, the legacy of her career will never die.
