Actress Lydia Forson spits fire on a section of the public who are condemning Anita Erskine for reaching out to Rashida Black Beauty over her release of \u201cnude\u201d video, noting that Jesus Christ did same by reaching out to Mary Magdalene who was a prostitute.<\/p>\n
According to the movie star, she is shocked some Ghanaians are unhappy with radio personality \u201cAnita Erskine\u201d for not condemning the act of Rashida Black Beauty but instead reaching out to her.<\/p>\n
The obviously peeved Miss Forson shared the post on her Instagram page.<\/p>\n
\u201cSo Anita is in trouble because she didn\u2019t insult Rasheeda, she didn\u2019t give her a stern reproach, she didn\u2019t call her a shame to womanhood, wasn\u2019t singled out to represent all women and condemned for it?<\/p>\n
\u201cAnita is in trouble for reaching out, and trying to help a girl clearly in need of it? She\u2019s in trouble for doing what NONE of us did? Wow\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cIf you listen to the likes of Mannaseh they\u2019ll have you believe that people cannot be reformed, that they can\u2019t amount to anything because of their past\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cThat video should break your heart; break your heart that people in the country have to grow up in an environment so bad that this seems \u201cNORMAL\u201d.<\/p>\n
As religious as he is he forgets the story of Mary Magdalene, the prostitute, the loose woman, the one men like Manasseh in the bible turned their noses at but Jesus welcomed with open arms,\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cToday the bible makes several references to her, and do we look at her with disgust? No, she represents Gods forgiving nature and repentance\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cHis lack of comprehension makes him misinterpret any attempt at speaking up for a victim as \u201ccondoning\u201d the act. (And he did the same with the whole Hamamat issue). You don\u2019t have to like a person, their choices or their lifestyle to support them when you think they need it most\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s OUR collective responsibility to make sure we create an environment where girls like Racheeda can be saved from themselves. Don\u2019t let the privilege of your upbringing fool you; any of us born in certain environments could have turned out this way. She\u2019s no different from the Kayaye girls, or the \u201cstreets girls with several children, she\u2019s no different from the girls pimped into prostitution; all these girls had no one looking out for them, grew up in an environment where they had very few options.<\/p>\n
And even if she had grown up privileged, privilege doesn\u2019t always shield you from making bad choices; and when you do your only saving grace is someone who cares.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cAt Anita Erskine I CELEBRATE YOU on being what we all ought to be, our neighbours keeper, better christians ( for those who\u2019re religious) and even better citizens for the self proclaimed patriots. You\u2019re either a part of a problem or a solution\u201d she averred.<\/p>\n
