At Sharpton Event, Girls Grill Hip-Hop Radio CEO: You ‘Play Music That Degrades Us,’ Dumbs Us Down, ‘Just To Make Money?'

The hip-hop hate-and-misogyny peddlers need to hear lots more of this. You won't hear too much of it from self-styled leftist "black leaders" though . . . Sharpton must've been caught off-guard. Liggins' reply is disgusting.

I'm on the women's side in this "war on women". (Is their anything the Democrats accuse others of in which they themselves are not more guilty?)

Liggins said if his company did not broadcast the baser hip hop music, “If we don’t highlight that artistry, somebody else will do it, and the audience wants it. People want to listen to it.” …

This is the same argument filmmakers made in the 1980s and 90s about all the blood, nudity and sex in films. And then they discovered they could get a bigger audience, especially in foreign markets, by toning those very things down.

I doubt if Sharpton was very pleased with these two young ladies. He probably didn’t think they actually used their brians. Victoria Pannell, 12, of New York City, who is the (SOON TO BE FORMER) Northeast regional director of NAN’s Youth Movement, and Nialah Edari, 17, of Milwaukee, Wisc., who is the (SOON TO BE FORMER) Midwest youth director for NAN.

When did we ever think that H Rapp Jackson was a rational spokesman for the cause compared to this dude?

“degrades us and dumbs our African American people down just to make money?”

I hate to break up a good hip-hop bashing, but most of their money is made off stupid white kids. Also, it doesn’t degrade black people, only certain black people. And anyone who extrapolates the hip-hop image to cover all black people—like you—is racist.

These girls lead a group of Sharpton fans and they think the disc jockey is degrading blacks but not Al? While they have a point about the black rap(I don’t recognize hip hop)degrading blacks and women in particular, Sharpton degrades blacks every day in every way.

One more thing, if blacks didn’t buy this disgusting music people couldn’t make money off of it. Can’t blame the people who play it, they wouldn’t play it if people weren’t buying it.
