Holiday cheer from MTV News: It’s time for some “white guy resolutions”
Hotair ^ | December 19, 2016 | Allahoundit

Something they threw together in the spirit of the season to remind us that racial and gender stereotypes are bad, with one exception. As a billion people on Twitter noted this afternoon as this dopey clip made the rounds, it is indeed basically a campaign ad for Trump 2020. I wrote a few days ago that I dislike the term “virtue-signaling” but what else is this strange little PSA except that? It’s an attempt to equate right-thinking with cheerful, casual contempt for “white guys.” That’s the most annoying thing about it — it doesn’t even muster real indignation. It’s tribal pageantry of the laziest sort.

Have not seen MTV since the times when they would stick to only playing music videos.
Maybe when everyone was talking about the Michael Jackson video for "Thriller" being the big thing. LOL.

If we simply outlawed Bundling by Cable and satellite companies, MTV would be OFF THE AIR OVERNIGHT!!!

I can only imagine if this was pointed in another direction. Makes me want to embrace my privilege and flaunt it all over their faces. Frankly, if not for your hated “white guys”, “y’all” would still be in chains.

Yep, Big 80’s was last time I watched MTV. As for white guilt, perhaps I just stop working, pay taxes, like all my white brethren, how long you give this country, 2 days?

They abandoned the VJ format that made them successful. The downhill slide began between 1988 and 1990 when it morphed into “NTV”. Then they pulled the pop videos and began ordinary crap programming.

Aw yeah, the clip is random people standing in front of a blank background never quite managing to get a whole sentence out before they cut to the next guy. That format hasn’t been run into the ground at all.

Sounds like a plan... So let it be written, so let it be done..!

These days, if I want to watch a music video, I go to YouTube.

Similar to many people, I enjoyed MTV during the early 1980s when music videos were played. We all have our favorite memories. Whether it was the goofiness of Adam Ant or the tenacity of AC/DC. Seeing Van Halen’s “Jump” video for the first time was my own Beavis and Butthead moment: Whoa! :-)

It has been a brainwashing mechanism now for years. Take weak minds and conform them into universal thought. Typical liberalism. Prey on the misguided and unfortunate.

I was working in an office cubicle back in 2000. An Indian IT consultant was working in a cube across the room. He was browsing some news from home on the web before getting started with his day.

He announced to us in a loud voice the headline that “The MTV India Channel is launching today!”

I got up, walked across the room, shook his hand and said “Welcome to the End of Civilization!”

Young Ones - circa 1986-87 - last time I watched it although I did “star” in an episode of Blind Date or First Date or something in 2001. No, I wasn’t a participant. I was leading a shark cage dive for a young couple on their first date.

Put the shoe on the other foot and see what happens.

Resolution for Black Males - Sober up and get a job.

Resolution for Black Females - Stop having illegitimate children.

I can hear the screaming now.
