Amazing,
Is it garbage or just not liking people of color. Any time black players or musicians express them selves hateful comments are always used in the villages . I am white and a retired musician and while Rap and Hip Hop are not my favorite the talents and accomplishments of the performers at the half time show were as good as it gets.
It is embarrassing how closed minded our generation has become.
Thank god its out with the old and in with the new

Not surprising really, but given that the outrage and vitriol started when the performers were first announced and long before the halftime performance, you succinctly pulled the rug back on the real elephant in the room. Thank you.
I abhor advocating the killing of police, or of anyone not creating a life/death threat for that matter, but it's not a coincidence that a lot of those who want to hang their hats on just that - have also been totally silent when it comes to actual equality for ALL Americans.
I'm also not a real fan of rap or hip-hop, but I do admire all varieties of talent and believe there are some very astute/intellectual/sad observations - in that genre and a lot of its lyrics. Since it's been shown that younger generations are far less racist & bigoted, in general, than us older generation folks, I'm betting that observation is one of the big reasons - so many younger people ARE such fans. |
