Can you imagine if #JosephineBaker, #AudreyHepburn, #BelaLugosi and #ÉdithPiaf said 'I don't take sides'?

What kind of bullshit would that have been?

If Baker, Hepburn, Piaf, and Lugosi can have guts during the dangerous violent nazi era of World War II, what the FUCK is your problem, #EdSheeran ?!!!

Josephine Baker and her husband, bandleader Jo Bouillon, adopted twelve children from multiple countries and various ethnicities. Having lived through segregation in America, Baker wanted to assemble a “rainbow tribe” to serve as a living demonstration of unity.

Alongside her husband, she co-authored a children’s book in 1957, “La Tribu Arc-En-Ciel” (The Rainbow Tribe) hoping to promote tolerance and openness toward others. The book was illustrated by Dutch artist Piet Worm.
