Whenever the Right Wing perceives that Black People have made some advance, or gain, they attack. Now, unable to attack using their tried and true, Racist strategies, they pay Black surrogates and use the very "Inner City," Ghetto conditions created, fostered, and maintained, by Corporate America, to once again attack the Black community:
Dear Mr. Jason Whitlock, your Uncle Tom shtick is going to be opposed as effectively as the campaign against, Racism and Sexism, because it’s the same thing.
Hello! Your Rapper, Hit-Piece, does not pass the smell test.
No matter how hard you try, your appearance today, was just another attack on the Black community. You can get as many Black people on 360 to cover your ass as you want and it still amounts to a diversion for Imus's, Racism, and Sexism. You made even the "Conservative," guest, look like a paragon of intellect and reason.
Your script would have made Michele Malkin, Rush Limbaugh, Ann Coulter, Glenn Beck, or Karl Rove, proud. You wanna help the Black Community, fire Glenn Beck, and the rest of those fuckers too. And, while you’re at, submit your own resignation.
So, you segue into your Rapper, Hit-Piece, by quoting Imus’ contention that "Those words came from the Black community." And then you use the lie to launch into your attack on Rappers, under the guise that they are as bad as Imus.
Ho is slang for whore and it originated over 500 years ago. Was Rap around then? Look it up!
Nappy, is another White racist slur that Black people re-appropriated and de-powered in the 60’s. Look up the origin and historical usage of that word!
How many Rappers use Nappy to denigrate women? Find me one!
Don’t tell America again, Nappy originated in the Black community. Don’t tell America again, Ho originated in the Black community. How dare you use Imus contention, he was only doing what Rappers do.
Imus and McGuirk, titillated by "Rap Slang," used it as cover. If caught, they always planned to use it. Why didn’t Mr. Imus explain where his usage of Jigaboo came from? Oh, I forgot, that’s Spike Lee’s, Al Sharpton’s and Jesse Jackson’s fault.
Jason Whitlock, here’s another point. Mr. Imus, used the regulated public airwaves to slur ten innocent teenage girls and young women, five coaches, and the institution of Rutgers University. When you have visible and innocent victims of defamation, there are consequences. When you defame a powerful institution and cause them to protect their product, there are consequences.
Imus not only violated the public trust, and made immediate and powerful, enemies, he also ran afoul of his employers, NBC, CBS, MSNBC, and FCC, policies and regulations. The consequences of violating those regulations and policies were enforced, and none too soon I might add. Mr. Cooper, Mr Whitlock, you are aware that there are broadcast standards, regulations, and enforcement – Correct?
So, all rap music is Racist and/or Misogynist and uses offensive and gratuitous language, in your estimation? Even if that were so, you never heard it over the public airwaves. Try as you might, 360, couldn’t even broadcast audio or video examples of your central thesis.
The irony never hit you, or Mr. Cooper, that the Rap video and audio you aired could have been straight from the Sopranos, or virtually any variety of main stream entertainment. And, of course, there’s no relationship between Gangster TV, Gangster movies, and a Gangster society, on the lives of Black people – Right?
Rap music with objectionable or "Adult" content, never even gets on public airwaves. Music, that passes the censors and makes it to the public airwaves via radio, consists of "Radio Versions," is censored, and/or bleeped. You’re not aware of that?
If you are aware of objectionable Rap lyrics, it’s because you’ve voluntarily purchased the music or been in the presence of someone who has. What does that have to do with Imus?
Public Airwaves belong to People of Color and Women too, and have been regulated for "decency," since its inception. The level of toxicity and abuse of Blacks, Gays, and Women, over the public airwaves, must end. Regulations need to be enforced, which by the way we must force the FTC to take up, none too soon, in the Imus case.
Every time your sleazy, slimy, mercenary ass, appears, oozing your seething inferiority on my screen, I turn the channel. I can’t bear to look at you. Using Black people to attack Black people is your raison d’etre.
There must be a Grand Wizard robe in your closet. Or, is it something else that makes you so fearful and self righteous?
Imus Slurs Young Women and You go after Rap Music. You should be ashamed and careful. We will hold you accountable.
Did you get your talking points from Michele Malkin or Rush Limbaugh? Enough already!
Malkin
