to Biden in June. Although she went to The White House earlier this week to receive the National Medal of Arts, she did not have a sit-down with the President, even though her husband asked Biden why he hasn't met with her yet.
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."
LadyDay64 Gladys dropped low here to pull the race card. Thousands of companies doing the same thing and she thinks cuz it's her and cuz she is black that she needs to be welcomed to the WH and have her business looked after ? What about the others in line first? Nonsense!

TMZ why post these topics when you know the answer. Ask a question you already know. Typical racist moves.
So wait a minute. She wants to compare her trying to sell her products to Asians discussing the violence against Asians during AAPI heritage month And wtf she mean by “the likes of BTS” She needs to check herself
She's stuck with an inventory of high-end Covid face shields she wants the government to buy her out of and stick in a closet somewhere. Framing that as a racial issue is pretty sleaze.
Usually I would comment with the reason why but I’m tired and so is everybody else
I think that Asian Americans would care to differ. We've now been eliminated from the definition of minority in American. At best, we are the 'inconvenient minority.'
When in doubt pull race card out. 🤣🤣
He was supposed to take care of BLM issues upon inauguration, and instead decided to ignore you and give money to Ukrainian Nazis. He also co-wrote the bill that made the most black prison profit slaves in history. 🤷♂️💯
u can’t bully your way into a business meeting with the president just because you are black MsGladysKnight . who do you think you are? and where have u been? no one needs PPE anyway anymore!! get over yourself. u aren’t as important as u think! gladysknight
who the hell does MsGladysKnight think she is and did you forget that covid is pretty much done? people don’t need PPE like they once did. you can’t demand a meeting with the president even if you are black! the bts meeting wasn’t about business. u aren’t special gladysknight
Wait, we can just do that? Fuck yeah!!! JoeBiden I demand a meeting with you? You met with TedLasso and his team and most of them are not American. Did I do it right?
Dang she played the race card AND the “don’t you know who I am“ card Translation: I’m a victim AND a legendary princess so I deserve this 😤 How pathetic
The problem with the black race is that most black men in America suck and don't take care of Thier children...I don't see BLM when a black kid gets shot by a another black kid and that stuff happens 100 times a day..stop being thugs and listen to police and you'll be just fine👍
It’s the entitlement portion for me
Can she go to Chicago and meet with the criminals who are killing Black people? instead of begging the white racist in the White House for anything?
tmz is very selective. Very.
You can't force the government to go into a contract with you MsGladysKnight and at this stage in the game, there is no profit in selling PPE. Things are different now than what they were in 2020. You clearly need a bailout in your ppe investment. Just say that.
I mean Biden is a racist
We told u yal this white man's a racist n yal put him in office. We literally have no Fs left to give. Not even for Beloved Gladys. Stop crying wolf!
LorenLorosa made no sense! This is like a celebrity who says, “do you know who I am”? It doesn’t work that way! Gladys was invited to the White House to celebrate her contribution to the arts. Celebrities cannot demand in-person interviews with the President for business gains!
You do know that Biden is the most racism human and if you don’t go watch him when he first got into government. And you probably voted for him! If only people educated themselves IF ONLY
News is so fake report this after they met y’all believe anything I swear
Joe:
Ok, the privilege has always had it & always helped their own. But I will use myself as an ex: I've been reaching out to my own race to help me get own my feet. No help! Wen blks get ahead they don't look bk. Won't answer a single plea. Where's the love?
Demanding is an issue
So she wants the government to bail her out for being one of those that took advantage of selling PPE products at probably unaffordable prices?..😵💫
Cuz he puts ALL of Americans last!!!! ANYTHING FOR UKRAINE THO 🙄🙄🙄🤬🤬🤬🤬
cuz your own 'king' sold off you guys for money.
Gladys should read her KJV Bible to understand why we are always last 💕
So she wants a govt contract to sell BS PPE items when COVID is basically over. Got it lol
Least amount of taxes paid I guess
Boohoo…
Y’all can argue with me idgaf bts is overrated other groups you can barely see because of them they think all groups are bts 😆
Is because he don’t need the black vote rn.
He has no idea who gets invites.
C5
Dont you have to apply for the money thru a government agency? If he meets with her & she gets the $$ could that be a mess leading to congressional investigation?
We all know why, I guess Gladys didn’t get the memo!
She thinks she’s entitled to a government contract? LOL
Looks like black lives don't actually matter to the DNC like they portray in the election years. Weird huh? More like itnis just exposing the FACT that they just want the votes and don't have any agenda other then their own....imagine that.
Biden will invite anyone to the WH these days.
Who is driving .
Demands a meeting? Hahaha
sounds like she expected to get pandered to because of her color
you don't open a biz then demand a gov contract, that's not how it works
Gladys Knight using the race card ?
Quit whining, Gladys. None of us are getting a meeting with Biden.
Bts is amazing!
It’s ok. He can’t help it. literally.
Gladys Knight needs to learn to be a major campaign contributor Or paid lobbyist. Lol
RaCiSm. 😂
'DO YOU KNOW WHO I AM I'M IMPORTANT! LOL
Killing babies is taken up all his time, sorry Gladys
Unless it’s with The Pips forget it.
Black women chose to put Biden power despite him vowing to help others over the black community. You were warned.
What he said: Republicans want to put you back in chains. What he meant: Democrats want to bind you in red tape.
Why does she have to disparage others who are talented? BTS
Well duh, Democrats only care about votes. What votes is she going to bring in? BTS and Ted Lasso are far more valuable to Biden and the Democrats.
I like Gladys Knight…but this is hilarious. Like…who the F do you think you are? Have a seat ya has-been. 🙄
Ironically the easiest and quickest way to get a Gov. contract is to be minority female owned.
That's because Biden doesn't care about black people
This is just dumb. She was just there days ago. Everything that happens in the world does not have something to do with whether you are black, white, yellow, green, purple, brown, pink, etc…
Sounds like there’s some money to made from covid. Who would have thunk it?
There is a photograph of them together in your article from this past week. She also received the Kennedy Center Award and hung out with him then. He has said that she is one of his favorite artists. He can't just give her a government contract. That would be nepotism.
Is she trying to argue she would have been a better fit for Asian inclusion week over BTS?!?!
tvLisaGonzales That’s what friends are for. 🤷♂️
Oh, shut up.
Do you think he really knows who BTS is ?
Apparently Gladys’ company is bribing the right people.
She wants her piece of the Covid riches.
You know how many VITAL issues this country had? Plus, who are you to Demand a sit down.
Sounds like sour grapes
🙄🙄🙄🙄 Victim Olympics. Also “the likes of BTS” sentence gives me the ick.
Because nobody wants to sit down and talk to a old nagging lady
Welcome to Joe Bidens presidency in a nutshell 😂
BTS is litty, Gladys Knight is not
Biden is a Patty LaBelle fan…
He doesn’t give a shit about you
She's so upset that she's leaving on a Midnight train to Georgia.
'My oppressed group is higher on the social food chain than your oppressed group'
Okay?
