TSOP THE BEST. Love all that stuff. Gamble and Huff.
Sad but true that our popular culture has some serious flaws in terms of quality and good taste.
Show after show after show featuring black people who are uneducated, unemployable, illiterate, prone to fighting at the drop of a hat, impregnating and getting impregnated with no commitment, etc.
Those shows, by progressives all, has succeeded in making black people look like total losers.
Don’t forget ‘Cops’.
Geraldo is the proverbial broken clock- right twice a day.
Maury Povich knows what the problem is.
“I’ve been saying this for years. In fact, a lot of us have been saying it.”
When conservatives say it, “that’s racist.”
its some sexual innuendo....like, see, my little peter is almost hanging out so youse all can see how big and pretty it is...or something like that....
Sadly, the zoo has no cages, bars or moats to keep the creatures where they belong.
I can't agree. I do not recall in Rock & Roll the mass advocacy of misogynistic and murderous practices, nor the routine debasement of large groups of people, nor the endemic advocacy of violence that is present in hip hop.
Granted. (David Allen Coe, for starters) But they are the exception, not the rule.
It isn’t the white racists, it’s the black ones.
broken calendar clock.
When blacks sought an education as a means of competing with whites, their schools were well disciplined and most students there recognized (had it drummed into their heads, by black teachers) that the key to success was to become educated and work hard. Black schools competed with white schools academically. "Ebonics" was rarely tolerated and seen as demeaning.
After integration, discipline broke down (white administrators and teachers wanted to avoid being branded racist), and education suffered. As the grievance studies industry gained strength along with the explosive growth in social services of the 'great society', the former goals of educational excellence were largely lost on a significant segment of the demographic and dependency followed the social breakdown of the black family, fostered and enabled by the Liberals.
Had the schools remained segregated, and resources more fairly allocated in places where they were not, I think social structure and educational goals might have remained largely intact, despite the communist (new left) agitation going on at the time. The administrators and teachers in the schools would have had significantly more control over the situation and been free of being called 'racist'. The bar would have been set higher by their elders, who shared in the achievements and failures of those in their community.
Those from outside that demographic had no skin in the game, and went home to their house elsewhere, generally free of the effects on a community they were not part of.
A lot of rappers and black entertainers are as racist as the KKK.
The Sound of Philadelphia. What a time.
How can Geraldo be so critical of this art form? Check out this beautiful love ballad by Dr. Dre. Just wonderful. The late Johnny Mercer and Hoagy Carmichael had nothing on these beautiful lyrics.

By contrast check out these lame lyrics by Carmichael:
Sometimes I wonder why I spend
The lonely nights dreaming of a song
The melody haunts my reverie
And I am once again with you
When our love was new
And each kiss an inspiration
Ah but that was long ago
Now my consolation is in the stardust of a song
Beside the garden wall
When stars are bright, you are in my arms
The nightingale tells his fairy tale
Of paradise where roses grew
Though I dream in vain
In my heart it will remain
My stardust melody
The memory of love’s refrain
-PJ
