What a strange commentary on our times.
One of the only prominent American voices reacting with the appropriate degree of disgust to a horrifying video of the Dalai Lama appearing to abuse a young boy is rapper Cardi B.
If you haven't seen the viral footage of the Dalai Lama's February event in northern India – you should. It's shocking and the world cannot look away.
The video shows the 87-year-old spiritual leader of Tibetan Buddhism, considered by his followers to be the living embodiment of the virtues of the religion and the reincarnation of the living Buddha, kissing a child on the lips and then asking the boy to 'suck my tongue.'
We must scream that this was not just flat out wrong, it appears to be sexual abuse.
Cardi B tweeted in response to the sick display, 'This world is full of predators. They prey on the innocent. The ones who are most unknowing, our children.'
And the singer's reward for stating this obvious and vital truth? She was pilloried on social media, threatened in her direct messages, and made out to be some kind of bigot.
While I may blanch at her lyrics – I applaud her courage. But I ask: where is the chorus?
Why is the performer of WAP (If you don't know it – Google it) among few public people expressing fitting moral outrage and revulsion?
Meanwhile, there are crickets from pro-Tibet Hollywood celebrities, like actor Richard Gere, who attended the Dalai Lama's 87th birthday party last year in India.
Over at the New York Times, there is one lousy straight news report with the bizarrely milquetoast headline: 'Dalai Lama Apologizes Over an Exchange With a Boy'

I’m not sure you can say anymore wiht any certainty that if the Pope did it, he wouldn’t be Pope anymore.
“If the Pope asked a child to ‘suck’ his tongue, he wouldn’t be the Pope anymore.”
I wouldn’t bet on that.
Ok for Francis. No for previous Popes
Going after China a big priority in elite circles right now and the Dalai Lama a symbol of opposition to Chinese rule in Tibet.
Biden squeezed the nipple of an 8-year-old girl and was elected.
We are in big trouble when the voice of moral certainty is the disgusting Cardi B.
Anti Catholic...which is anti Christ crowd is at it again with their ridiculous and crude opinions...
Well said.
Of course he would be. The entire Vatican (with maybe a few exceptions) is working for Satan. Oh maybe half of the catholic laity and half of the parish priests are faithful to God, but the rest.......
No different than Biden molesting children and admitting to having bribed Ukraine with taxpayer dollars to quit investigating his corrupt spawn, on camera before millions, Only a small percentage of the people in an actual position to remove him from office don’t like it. The vast majority of them approve if only tacitly. Only about half of us peasants find it abhorrent.
It would be nice not to have to deal with that death cult, and we won’t always have to! When Jesus Christ returns, every single follower of mohammed who doesn’t accept Jesus as lord and savior will be cast into the lake of fire.
Well, there is a better known person, known world-wide, and the most important person in the world right now, who has been known to pinch little girls’ breasts through their clothing, and who’s well-known to sniff girls’ and women’s hair, and has been accused of ‘digitally’ raping a woman,
and that person is still not in prison and still holds the most important position in the world.
So, justice depends upon the political affiliation of the person and the media’s protection and his affiliates’ loyalty.
Child molestation in public. By more than one world “leader”. It’s passes muster with the whole world.
Blatant, in your face evil.
The end is coming quick, folks. Hold on to your faith as the tempted fall away.
I’m not convinced the Dalai Llama is a pervert. He’s a goofy old man.
I am convinced Joe and Jill Biden are perverts.
Child abuse is normal these days.
Folks don’t realize how close this world is to being Judged by Divine Wrath.
Wasn’t David Marcus Captain Kirk’s son?
The Dalai Lama is who he is by virtue of reincarnation. His oddities are irrelevant to that. He cannot be deposed. That said he has obviously had a stroke and his speech is disjointed. his mind is slipping gears. The ominous thing is that when he dies the Chinese government says it will appoint his successor. That will not be accepted by Tibetans and they will find his reincarnationin a few years. The Chinese will have then to imprison or kill the reincarnated Dalai Lama.
