CNN Blames Culture of 'Manliness' For Belcher Murder/Suicide

On Saturday, a rich 25-year-old man, Jovan Belcher, murdered his 22-year-old girlfriend, the mother of his child. First, columnist Jason Whitlock of Fox Sports suggested that this “25-year-old kid” wasn’t responsible for his actions – it was the “gun culture” that was to blame. Then, Bob Costas of NBC repeats this idiotic notion, even though the 6’2”, 228 lb. linebacker for the Kansas City Chiefs could easily have murdered his girlfriend with a knife.

Now CNN is getting in on the act. Leading their website this afternoon is an op-ed from Kevin Powell, former Democratic Congressional candidate in New York, and cast member on MTV’s original season of “The Real World.” Powell’s contention: it’s America’s culture of manliness that led Belcher to blow away his girlfriend and then turn the gun on himself. That culture of manliness includes men hiding their emotion, machoness, and homophobia.

This comes from the culture of wussies at CNN. What a pant load of steaming Bravo Sierra.

There is something to that. CNN is not far from the truth. I’ve observed this culture first hand and it’s dysfunctional to some degree in that way.

Bob Costas is a guy, a photogenic guy, who comments on things he himself has never done with any degree of competency, i.e., sports.

I strongly disagree. His bug eyes give me the creeps.

CNN will never have to worry about their “manliness”.

However, it’s their feminine side that makes me want to barf.

Obama voters should not be allowed to own guns. They could care less about the Constitution and the Bill of Rights so I don’t think that they’d have a problem with that. Besides, they all wet themselves when somebody shows them a picture of a gun.

Frankly, I would favor prohibiting Holder's people from owning firearms. As an outlet for acting out their gangsta culture, we need a new reality TV show that films rival gangs beating each other to death in a closed arena--kinda like the gladiator games in ancient Rome. It would be quite entertaining, the mayhem would be focused,and the gene pool would improve.

How about contempory black "culture"?

These people are insane. They want us to raise a country of girlie men.

I will admit that you are likely to have a superior perception in regard to his physical appearance. That leaves us with a bug-eyed, know-nothing, celebrity windbag. Agreed?

any man that believes that should be in line to have their testicles removed...solves their problem with manliness...
