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.

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.

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.

Liberals are bigots, plain and simple.

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.

Anyone who has observed domestic violence will see the behavioral parallels here. The perp attempts to accustom the intended target to progressively more intense levels of inappropriate behavior until the target accepts those behaviors as the norm.

What ‘white privilege’ BS is really about - teaching minorities to think of themselves as victims.

If you convince someone that they are a victim - the chances that they will success in life goes way down. They are really hurting the very people they are pretending to help.

Teaching people to see themselves belonging to a group based on skin color is at the very heart - racist - and sick.

White Guy: Hey fellow White Guys

Hispanic Guy: It’s about to be a new year

Black Guy: And we think there are a few things you can do a little bit better in 2017.

SPLASH SCREEN: 2017 RESOLUTIONS FOR WHITE GUYS

Hispanic Chick: First of all, try to recognize that America was never –“great”- for anyone who wasn’t a white guy.

Black Chick: Can we all just agree that Black Lives Matter is not the opposite of All Lives Matter? Black lives just matter, there’s no need to overcomplicate it.

White Guy: Also, Blue Lives Matter isn’t a thing.

Black Guy: Cops weren’t born with blue skin, right?... yeah… They weren’t born blue!

Other White Guy: Stop bragging about being Woke

Hispanic Guy: Stop saying “Woke”.

White Chick: Learn what “Mansplaining” is, and then stop doing it.

First White Guy: Oh, and if you’re a judge, don’t prioritize an Ivy League athlete over the woman he assaulted!

Black Guy: We all love Beyonce. And, yeah, she’s black. So of course she cares about black issues. I’m talking to you, FoxNews.

Black Chick: Feel free to take Kanye West, though. You guys can have him.

Black Guy: You know what you did, Kanye… (shakes head dismissively)

Other White Guy: Nobody who has black friends says that they have black friends.

Black Guy: And just because friends, doesn’t mean you are not racist. You can be racist with black friends.

Hispanic Guy: Look guys, we know that nobody’s perfect…

Hispanic Chick: …but, honestly, you could all do a little better in 2017.

White Chick: Some of you guys do a great job. (shakes head dismissively) Some of you don’t.

Black Guy: Because please, 2016 is bad. 2017 can’t be as bad as this, alright? Because this is bad…
