I copied this article from a news blog and pasted here for record:
With all the tongues wagging, Lauryn has kept quiet, until now. She addressed a crowd in Dallas while on tour for the reason she hasn’t spoken out, and it’s all in order to be the bigger person. “Let me tell you why I don’t chat back,” she said. “Because I know that my brothers and my sisters are often times pawns in a bigger scheme so when they, under pressure, attack me, I love them still. It’s called the high road. Try taking it sometimes.”

It’s called the high road. Try taking it sometimes.”
She also goes on to explain the reason for her silence is to not fall prey to societal expectation; a sort of silent strength. “I’m not going to play my hand like the suppressive system would have me play my hand. Because I know [about] the oppression that took place in Haiti, and Jamaica, and America, and Africa and Europe. So just be patient. The truth always surfaces,” she told the crowd.
Yeah!
