I think of it this way:

Lena Horne started up in a time when it was difficult for black ppl to get roles and be respected generally. Now that it is considerably easier (although we're not all the way there yet), she probably sees "boobgate" as an affront to all the struggles she and others like her endured to gain respect.

So coming from someone like her, I might not see it as being unreasonable.
