Yeah, teach those kids to flash those signs... [More]
Just what they need as individuals. Just what "the community" needs.
Although this does answer the question as to the level of maturity he exemplifies. And he could probably buy and sell the guy I talk about here a million times over--not to mention reach more sets of eyes and ears by an order of magnitude. Talk about a walking pH Factor.
Nickelodeon. It's not like I didn't peg them for what they are some time back. You know, back before their even more juvenile offshoot, Nick Jr., started brainwashing pre-schoolers into accepting The Lightworker as their lord and savior.
You know...Convert or...I mean, Obama or Die...?
You say somethin' be-otch?
If you want to learn about some of these issues and their root causes, and their effects, there is an amazing book about black role models, "black culture" and its violence, and its origins, Black Rednecks and White Liberals by Thomas Sowell. This single book has HUGE amounts of info and is extremely well-researched. The first chapter alone (which has only 62 pages) has 289(!!!) footnotes.

The theory that African-Americans are damaged goods and suitable only for the basketball court, the janitor closet or the "R&B" -- which is now the RAP -- stage -- would not fly if they themselves stopped believing it. Eagles have been convinced that they have to walk and eat worms.
And there's Chris Brown flapping his wings -- and his jaws. Yo. How 'bout a Mozart aria? "Moe who?"
ReplyDeleteI heard he paid Rihanna $1 million not to press charges. I wish God would give me a chance to prove that success won't spoil ME. I'd do much better than this trash.
And arch-anti-gun "actress" Drew Barrymore is a Cover Girl cosmetics spokesmodel. So is anti-gun Ellen DeGeneres. How far are they willing to back it up? To our deaths?
In the version I'm looking at now of the article David links to I find the phrase:
ReplyDelete"...despite the recent controversy surrounding his alleged beat of fellow nominee..."
Maybe non-standard use of the verb, maybe poor editing... Now - I do know what a "beating" is - be it cooking or whup'in. Myself - I'm inclined to a more Orwellian perspective.
"A man may take to drink because he feels himself to be a failure, and then fail all the more completely because he drinks. It is rather the same thing that is happening to the English language. It becomes ugly and inaccurate because our thoughts are foolish, but the slovenliness of our language makes it easier for us to have foolish thoughts."
George Orwell
