Her mama could have named her anything. When she was in the hospital delivering her daughter a moving van passed beneath her room’s window.
Beyonce could have been named Mayflower.
She thought Beyonce was classy.
She’s just a clever one who saw that basketball wasn’t the only way to get out of the ghetto.
Your comments reminds me that I vividly remember hearing older white Southerners say that the civil rights movement would ultimately bring whites down, not lift blacks up.
Oh I get your not a fan.
Just thinking about it caused me to splutter coffee.
One of the joys of not having a TV is not knowing who is going to be playing in the Superbowl. Watching the NFL & NBA - in fact, watching MOST TV - is like opening a sewer pipe into your living room and acting interested in what smells the most.
To that had life progressed 3000 or 4000 years ago from its starting-place in the slime of the tidal beaches.
What a bunch of grouchy old codgers we turned out to be.
If we had a Free Republic in 1957, I can’t help but think a bunch of us older ones would be sitting around lamenting the decline of society due to those “leather jacketed hoodlums” and song lyrics like “Be Bop A Lula she’s my baby; Be Bop A Lula I don’t mean maybe” and “Tutti frutti, oh rutti, Wop bop a loo bop a lop ba ba! Got a girl, named Sue, she knows just what to do...”
Perhaps our parents knew that the drip, drip, drip of each little increment of disrespect, crudeness, suggestiveness, sexual innuendo, and vulgarity would bring us to a day like today; when a woman would blast obscenity over the airwaves to a whole nation at a sports event, condoms would be handed out to sixth graders, twelve year olds would be having abortions, killing fetuses would be acceptable in the eyes of society, and six year olds were being sexualized and dressed like streetwalkers. Perhaps they foresaw the complete moral decay that comes upon a nation that forsakes the uplifting, the lovely, the moral, the beautiful and the Godly for crass, hedonistic, animalistic exhibitionism.
Yes, I was the same with my children with much the same results as my parents achieved. It seems to me that we don’t have much further to slide. Next year’s Super Bowl might have live sex acts, who knows. Today’s dancing doesn’t leave much to the imagination anyhow.
Old codgers? I think not. I think that decent people always have an inner barometer that tells them when something isn’t right or acceptable. But most of them just go along in order not to be called “old codgers”. Pretty soon, as Scripture tells us, they have “their consciences seared with a hot iron and they don’t hear that inner voice any longer. That’s how we got to today and a vulgar, crass bottom feeder like Beyoncé being touted as “entertainment.”
Our society flourished under our ancestor’s belief in self-restraint, hard work, personal responsibility and moral behavior. While they may seem pretty tame now, Elvis’s gyrations, the defiance of the “leather jacketed hoodlums” against the rules of good behavior and treatment of others was a step towards today.
I, personally would give just about anything to spend some more time in my parents world. If I could know what I know now, I’d listen to them much more closely and take to heart what they tried to teach me with more respect than I did. If everyone had done so, maybe my grandkids could watch the Super Bowl with me.
I had this happen on another forum. Its not a conspiracy. Its an operating platform issue.
“Why on earth would the NFL allow this?”
Because casual fans make up the vast majority of all NFL fans, and casual fans dig this dog squeeze. Look around at current popular culture. There’s a reason the NFL is the most popular pro sport by a mile, and they want to stay that way.

Heck, the Super Bowl commercials are the only things that are worth watching ... some real classics there usually.
My mother used to have a saying “What’s in the blood will out.” It seems her premise has proved itself true in the case of Africans in America. The differences don’t seem to be reconcilable except by subjugating the white population. It remains to be seen where that will lead.
The last time I watched a half-time Super Bowl show was when they had the college bands.
Now in college games on television they don’t show the bands either.
“Suggestive” is one thing...those lyrics are gutteral, animalistic, subhuman, brainless, sickening....
I don’t disagree. As I said, it’s “in your face” as is everything else these days. Definitely not saying its acceptable.
Is your pic from “National Geographic”?
Great post.
My TV hasn’t worked since I refused to get the digital adapter.
