Jean Simmons calls for an end to racism in the United States and highlights: “It will only get better”

Singer and bassist Kissing, Jean SimmonsHe accused the United States of being a racist and anti-Semitic country.

This statement was given in an interview with Metal Hammer Magazine (via Blabbermouth) And the senior rocker – of Jewish descent – said that, unfortunately, it is very common to see American citizens being discriminated against:

Yes, [os EUA são] Racists. Yes it is [um país] Anti-Semitism. Still,
Here in the United States, there are no limits. You may be an African-American president
The opposite may be true – a semi-racist, semi-extremist president – but
Everything is possible. That’s why I still like the American idea: it will get better and it will happen.
To improve. People think of Martin Luther King, Jr. making great strides for African Americans and opening the door to deal with it. And you have to deal with it. We need to stop treating African Americans so cruelly, especially in the United States. Racism must stop.

In the past, he has bonded with Simmons Diana Rose The singer used the dialogue to remind her of an embarrassing situation she had to face:

She came from a suburb of Detroit. The Supremes had a title tour with the Dave Clark Five opening ceremony [os shows] They headed south [dos Estados Unidos] By bus. They came to Alabama somewhere, people cheered, and everyone was hysterical. Supremes take to the stage and everyone starts dancing in the streets (…). But at the end of the show, shamefully, the Supremes had to go to a hotel called ‘People of Color’. Also on the way out, there were bombs on the bus, on the bus.

Complicated, isn’t it?
