The 58th Annual Grammy Awards had many moments to celebrate. Whether it was Gary Sinise honoring veterans or great tributes to many legends we have lost this year: BB King, Bowie, Glenn Frey, and others. Compared to years past it was a pretty tame event. But it just wouldn't be the Grammys without someone making a political statement.
This year the award for biggest political statement goes to... Kendrick Lamar for showing up on stage with several other African Americans in chains and prison garb. The backdrop even included prisoners playing instruments in their cells. Apparently since Beyonce wasn't performing (only slurring her way through presenting Record of the Year), Kendrick felt compelled to carry the torch for the Black Lives Matter crowd in his performance of the song "The Blacker the Berry."

Stopped watching after the crappy sideshow by that cute gal who used to be a country singer.
What ? I don’t know such a program most end up like Kanye West
'Rev' is for revolutionary.
'Com' is for communist.
Revcom.us bills itself as "the voice of the Revolutionary Communist Party, USA." The explicit objective is to overthrow our constitutional republic and replace it with an oligarchical collectivist dictatorship along the lines of North Korea and the Soviet Union.
Why would advocates of a communist police state agitate against the police? Because as leftists used to admit openly, the issue is never the issue. This isn't about the police, any more than it is about blacks. It is about destabilizing the system so as to create opportunities to weaken it and eventually overthrow it.
That's what community organizing boils down to. These people have taken over the executive branch of the federal government; why would they stop there?
The next hill they take will be federal control of local police. After that, things will start to get scary.

From the website of the Revolutionary Communist Party (revcom.us):
"Create Public Opinion, Seize Power: We are preparing minds and organizing forces for the time when there is a major crack in the system, whenever it comes and wherever it comes from: an opening that makes it possible to bring the future Revolutionary Army of the Proletariat (R.A.P.) into the field and wage a revolutionary armed struggle that actually has a chance of winning.
And we have said that building our party itself is the most important part of organizing forces for revolution. This is true now, and it is true looking forward to the creation of that future R.A.P. and the waging of that armed struggle.":

The 1992 LA/Rodney King riots were instigated by the Revolutionary Communist Party...
From David Horowitz's FrontpageMag.com /DiscoverTheNetworks.org:
"Throughout its history, one of RCP's [Revolutionary Communist Party] principal objectives has been to foment civil unrest in the United States. The most notable example of such efforts occurred on April 29, 1992, when RCP members looted and trashed the downtown and government districts of Los Angeles, triggering the infamous Rodney King riots. During the days immediately preceding the violence, RCP -- which maintained close ties to the L.A. gangs known as the Crips and the Bloods -- had circulated throughout South Central Los Angeles a leaflet featuring a statement by RCP National Spokesman Carl Dix, titled 'It's Right To Rebel' -- a quote popularized by Mao Zedong.
Encouraged by Dix, RCP activists helped lead the riots that would leave 58 people dead, more than 2,300 people injured, some 5,300 buildings burned, and $1 billion in property damaged or destroyed. On the ten-year anniversary of the rioting, RCP member Joseph Veale fondly recalled the violence as 'the most beautiful, the most heroic civil action in the history of the United States.'"

[1960s/original] Black Panther Party [BPP] Archives
From the article: REVOLUTIONARY HEROES
"On May 1st, May Day [1969], the day of the gigantic Free Huey rally, two of Alioto's top executioners vamped on the brothers from the Brown Community who were attending to their own affairs. These brothers, who are endowed with the revolutionary spirit of the Black Panther Party defended themselves from the racist pig gestapo [the police].
Pig Joseph Brodnik received his just reward with a big hole in the chest. Pig Paul McGoran got his in the mouth which was not quite enough to off him.
The revolutionary brothers escaped the huge swarm of pigs with dogs, mace, tanks and helicopters, proving once again that "the spirit of the people is greater than the man's technology."
To these brothers the revolutionary people of racist America want to say, by your revolutionary deed you are heroes, and that you are always welcome to our camp."

Beyonce and JZ in Communist Cuba...
It seems that most Black Lies Matter protesters are white. Why is that? Useful idiots wrapped up in delusional guilt? Weak minds that have been twisted into thinking the black’s situation is all the Crackas fault?
Professional athletes and entertainers, (which is what athletes really are) are too often mistaken for people of significance. yawn
I flipped the Grammys on about 20 minutes in. I saw “Hamilton” which was provocative. Then came the prison bit. Turned it off & went to bed.
Adele & Lady Gaga were not enough of an attraction to make me weather that production.
Was there not a recent protest at the NFL front office in NYC against the SB halftime show?
That protest happens today.
Well, there at least was supposed to be. Don't know how it turned out. But I suppose it would be on the internet.
Thank-you!
Simple....druggies and gangs
I gave it up years ago.
Thanks. Didn't see your post until after I posted.
Supposed to be rain, heavy at times, today in New York.
I am glad someone is doing this.
The NFL and Beyonce really stuck their finger in America’s eye with her Black Panther-supporting performance.
But I watched the video on the link, and I was thinking: Okay. That's their artistic expression.
If artistic expression is good, it will pass the test of time. If not, it will be forgotten.
Who among Andy Warhol's contemporaries would have predicted that his art would stand the test?

Can’t fathom why anyone would waste time watching this drivel. I just don’t get it.
Remember the raised fist salute at the Mexico City Olympics in 1968?
The years 1965-1975 were among the most tumultuous in American history.
Disco was a welcome relief.
