Audi and Snoop Dogg During the Super Bowl
Townhall.com ^ | February 9, 2017 | Larry Elder

The exciting recent Super Bowl meant that fans paid more attention to the game than to the commercials. But there were some doozies, including the 84 Lumber commercial that sympathetically depicted a Latina mother and her young daughter trying to cross the border and enter America, only to encounter a foreboding wall. Hint, hint: President Trump wants to build a wall on the southern border. But at least two other commercials stood out.

An Audi commercial highlighted the alleged problem of women receiving unequal pay. A male voice says: "What do I tell my daughter? Do I tell her that her grandpa is worth more than her grandma? That her dad is worth more than her mom? Do I tell her that despite her education, her drive, her skills, her intelligence, she will automatically be valued as less than every man she ever meets?" Audi also tweeted: "Women are still paid 21 percent less than men."

It is a lie that women make less money than men for the same work. How do we know? Audi admits it. Turns out, Audi pays its female employees less than its male employees. In response to this inconvenient fact, Audi said: "When we account for all the various factors that go into pay, women at Audi are on par with their male counterparts." Of Audi's six-person management board, there is not a single female. Of Audi's American top-management staff of 14, two are women.

Then there was the T-Mobile spot featuring rapper Snoop Dogg and entrepreneur/domestic-goddess Martha Stewart. Only weeks earlier, Snoop Dogg -- using language you definitely wouldn't hear in a Super Bowl ad -- threatened to ridicule any black person who agreed to perform at President Donald Trump's inauguration. To people like Snoop Dogg, blacks who support Trump, like Dr. Ben Carson, Trump's pick for secretary of the Department of Housing and Urban Development, are sellouts. A black writer for The Daily Beast slammed Carson in a piece titled: "Ben Carson Was a Role Model for Black Teens Until He Sold Out to the Right."

Sold out? What about Snoop Dogg?

Most rap music is purchased by white teens living in the suburbs. In 2004, Mediamark Research estimated the percentage of rap bought by whites at 60 percent. If most of the buyers of rap are white, doesn't this mean rappers like Snoop are performing for whites? Doesn't this make him every bit the "sellout" that he considers Carson?

In Snoop Dogg's music, he routinely uses derogatory words to describe women. He wrote and starred in a self-titled X-rated porn film. He romanticizes drugs. Where are the angry feminists when we need them? Meanwhile, Republican Carson, raised in poverty by a single mom, who talks about the importance of family, education and hard work, is to be demeaned and dismissed as an Uncle Tom.

A common theme of rap is racial oppression and victimization in America, a country that supposedly persecuted blacks. In the case of Snoop Dogg, whose real name is Calvin Broadus, it's a rather charmed persecution. In 1996, Broadus and a bodyguard stood trial for murder. The victim was a reputed gang member who also happened to be black.

A Los Angeles jury acquitted both defendants of murder but could not reach a verdict as to whether the two had committed voluntary manslaughter and whether Broadus had committed conspiracy after the fact by allegedly attempting to destroy evidence. As to the manslaughter charge, the jury foreman said the last vote was 9-3 but refused to say whether the vote was 9-3 in favor of acquittal or conviction. So, at the very least, three jurors believed the future pitchman for products like T-Mobile and Chrysler had committed manslaughter. A $25 million wrongful death lawsuit filed by the victim's family was settled "amicably."

Stewart, it should be noted, was convicted of felony charges of conspiracy, obstruction of an agency proceeding and making false statements to federal investigators. She lied to the FBI in connection with an insider-trading investigation and served five months in a federal prison.

T-Mobile clearly believes in second chances.

As to the Super Bowl, Lady Gaga gave a patriotic halftime performance mostly devoid of politics. During the playing of the national anthem, no one took a knee. The balls appeared to be properly inflated. The New England Patriots, down 25 points, overcame the largest deficit in Super Bowl history to win in the final play of the first-ever Super Bowl overtime game. It was enough to make one forget about the annoying commercials. Almost.

Can’t get much sleazier than Cordozar Calvin Broadus, Jr (aka: Snoop Dog). I have no use for this druggie and whatever other occupations he’s had. Why he is hired to speak for anything is beyond me.

Snoop claimed in a 2006 interview with Rolling Stone magazine that unlike other hip hop artists who had superficially adopted the pimp persona, he was an actual professional pimp in 2003 and 2004, saying “That shit was my natural calling and once I got involved with it, it became fun. It was like shootin’ layups for me. I was makin’ ‘em every time”. He went on to say that upon the advice of some of the other pimps he knew, he eventually gave up pimping to spend more time with his family.

In 2009, it was reported that Snoop Dogg was a member of the Nation of Islam. That March 1, he made an appearance at the Nation of Islam’s annual Saviours’ Day holiday, where he praised minister Louis Farrakhan. Snoop stated he was a member of the Nation, but declined to give the date on which he joined. He also donated $1,000 to the organization.

Claiming to be “born again” in 2012, the gangster rapper converted to the Rastafari movement...

Since ours isn’t built yet I assumed the Latina and her kid ended up at the SOUTHERN Mexican border, and the wall was the one they built to keep Central American refugees out.

Ab-so-freaking-lutely. Idiots like Snoop are today's version of Stepin Fetchit.

Mindless black caricatures who degrade themselves to entertain the white folks.

You’re leaving out the part where it brings the white kids down a class and I’ve seen it in neighborhoods.

That’s a big thing to forget.

Almost all TV “movie stars” promote vice and evil to little children. Most, if not all, movie stars are narcissists and have sold their souls to Lucifer to be able to be in the tightly controlled system of the psychopathic sodomites who control Hollywood and rape all the boys.

Any “man” has to go through the rituals of being “dominated” by these psychopaths-—to even be allowed in their club-—to get fame and money. And most willing do vile acts, or else they don’t last, are killed, or suicided. Most sell their souls, literally, to the devil to be a Leonardo diCaprio or a Brad Pitt. Satanic rituals are necessary or they don’t get any parts.

The whole System is evil. and destroys the minds of children who are “programmed” by it. Most everything, especially Disney cartoons are embedded with ideological subversion which will warp the perceptions of young children and destroy virtue formation.

It is all intentional—to control the minds of the children (all desires and worldview). They want irrational, immoral “cattle” so they can be herded and controlled for life.

We need the monopoly of the Hollywood/TV/govt. agitprop NPR to be shattered-—80 years ago. The airwaves free of their very few masters-—like magazines/information/publishing companies totally controlled by a very few Marxists/Satanists. Internet is helping but they are trying to get total control over that also, like Google, Twitter, Facebook, Reddit—so they can totally program and control everything we see and hear.

Brainwashing the masses with lies and disinformation is essential for their NWO of total slavery.

#5 he is also a gang member who was involved in a murder.
He was the driver who hunted down the victim. The shooter was in the car seat next to him.

No, you see the wall in the commercial had a door in it, so clearly it wasn’t Mexico’s.....

I am so tired of that ridiculous lie that women are paid less than men.

Overall, they make less money than men, but it is because they raise children and work fewer years/hours.

For regular hourly jobs, I am pretty sure it is illegal to pay a person less per hour for the same job, depending on their gender.

And as for Hollywood, if women can attract an audience to a movie, they will make more money. Angelina Jolie or Julia Roberts, or other A-list women, likely make for more than lesser-known male actors.

cluding the 84 Lumber commercial that sympathetically depicted a Latina mother

I heard she busted through the wall, screamed discrimination, got herself an Affirmative Action slot at law school and a politically appointed government job, then called herself "Wise."

HUH??

Sotomayor was born in The Bronx, New York City, to Puerto Rican-born parents.
