I'm not sure my race or gender have a lot to do with it. I just don't spend a lot of time thinking about the makers of good art.
The fact that Roman Polanski is a vicious criminal cunt doesn't change the fact that Chinatown is an amazing movie, for example.

Total dick.
Wrote some damn good tunes, though.
An awful lot of artists - particularly male ones - are complete shitbags. Lucky for me, that's never gotten in the way of my enjoyment of their work.

I'm not even sure ineptitude is his greatest sin.
His insistence on destroying every element of strength our nation has spent a century cultivating is worse.
Itcs his naked malice, not his incompetence, that is pissing people off.
