Gladys Knight is livid that President Biden has invited the likes of BTS to The White House, but her repeated requests for a sit-down with the President over a significant subject have been ignored … and she flatly asks the query … “Are the problems associated with African Americans not equal to those of other races? Why do we have to be last?”
Gladys’ firm, Riccino Optical, gives COVID-related merchandise, together with antigen assessments, anti-fog goggles and face shields. Her firm, which she describes as an “African American woman owned minority business,” has been attempting to get a authorities contract to offer these PPEs to the general public, however she says they have been ignored.
The singer says the feds are giving contracts to the “Good old boys’ network of Washington D.C. insiders.” She goes on to say a contract was particularly focused to assist Native American companies on this area, but she says there are not any Native American producers of those PPEs, whereas her firm has hundreds of thousands in stock.
Gladys wrote her letter to Biden in June. Although she went to The White House earlier this week to obtain the National Medal of Arts, she didn’t have a sit-down with the President, though her husband requested Biden why he hasn’t met together with her but.
In her letter, she says, “It is extraordinarily insulting to watch news reports … that a boy band from South Korea, BTS, had an in-person meeting with President Biden.”
She goes on … “As a longtime, Democrat and Civil rights warrior, as well as well as a legendary entertainer that has met with President Biden many times in my life, the difficulty of setting up a meeting with him over these issues makes no sense.”
She continues … “It appears as if only youth-oriented artists even if they are not Americans will be greeted in the ‘People’s House’ by our President. I know it is always harder for African Americans to get justice and fair level playing fields in business, but this is becoming ludicrous.”
