Buju Banton may have signed the “Reggae Compassionate Act” but that doesn't equate to much compassion for protestors at the recent Reggae Carifest in New York.
GLAAD protested Carifest because of its inclusion of anti-gay musicians, causing Power 105 (a station owned by Clear Channel) to pull its sponsorship of the fest.
NY1, who claims Banton didn't sign the “Reggae Compassionate Act”, asked the singer what he had to say to people who say he's promoting hatred. Said Banton: “I would say to them they are ignorant, they are stupid, even though they proclaim to be intelligent.”
