A Brief Study in Media Commentary and Social Inequality
April 11th, 2007 at 10:07 pm by Preston Taylor HolmesWell-known artist and social activist Snoopy X. Dogg is more than slightly perturbed that some members of the old and new media have dared to take the occasion of Don Imus’ ill-advised comments to criticize his own highly-respected artistic creations. Some commentators have suggested that when artists like Mr. Dogg use terms like “ho” and “biznitches,” that they may be doing as much damage to the image of women of all races as Imus allegedly did to the Rutgers womens basketball team.
Mr. Dogg is absolutely correct when he notes that it’s important to make the distinction between “hos that ain’t doin’ shit” and “hos that’s playing roundball and gettin’ they learn on”. In one instance, you have “bitches that needs to be slapped up”, while, conversely, with the Rutgers players, you have women who, while they may or may not qualify as “nappy-headed”, are certainly a societal cut above the aforementioned “ain’t doin’ shit”-type hos.
I, for one, thank the good people at MTV for mainstreaming rap culture, which simultaneously demonstrates this type of societal nuance and a unyielding respect for women, and for bringing us this all-important message from Professor Dogg. It’s important to understand what’s in the “minds and souls” of these modern day Shakespeares – thank you, Mr. Dogg.

Snoop’s just speakin’ da truth, for shiz. You gotta be from da hood to call sistahs bitches and ho’s. You racist honkies can’t say shit, cuz you don’t know how it feels to be oppressed for hundreds of years…
So to all you whiteys…STFU!
Vote McKinney in ’08!

Mr. Dogg is such an eloquent speaker.
I am so relieved to be assured that Rap music only pertains to those nappy headed ho’s up in the hood not doin’ no shizznet.
I was so certain he was talking about me as he sang those little love poems.
Pheeeeew. That takes a lot of tension off my shoulders. Thanks Dogg Man for clearing that up.

Rutgers’ women do look like some rough ass ho’s. What? We can’t insult ugly women now? Tennessee’s chicks are hot. Or maybe they just look ugly sitting next to the Lady Vols.
What the Rutger women accomplished in their season was completely overshadowed by them painting themselves as these supreme victims because of one old man’s comments.
It reinforced all of the worst stereotypes about women being fragile creatures who can’t accept a lick of criticism without making a big production out of it.
I was always a bigger fan of the “I Ain’t No Ho” defense than the “I’m somebody’s daughter” one. It’s a stirring celebration of the misunderstood individual rather than the passive-aggressive “you’ve attacked someone’s else’s property” route Rutgers took.
Their coach should have come out and said she was proud of what they accomplished and though they lost to a better team, nothing anyone can say could take that away from them. But nooooooo…

I will not let them muthafuckas say we in the same league as him.”
No, he’s right. He’s in a whole ‘nuther league. I wonder how many of those ho’s who are trying to get a nigga’s money are “fans?”
I would like to say “ex-fans”, but I doubt anyone will hold snoop-dog to the same standard they are holding Don Imus.

Carin, it’s all a stupid game. The mind boggles about the energy put into making Imus pay. But Snoop doen’t even need to “get a pass” on this. He’s paid to demean black people and culture.
I haven’t put in my 2 cents on this – but I’m an Imus fan and he didn’t do anything differently that he has been for years.
I’m guessing the grievance mongers couldn’t wait for the time to pounce.

Honestly, this is a HUGE victory for the race-baiters. They said “Jump”, and MSNBC said How high?
And then they said “But white men can’t jump, which we can say, because we’re black, so you gotta fire that cracker’s ass.”
Or something like that.

White people should sing the top R&B songs out loud to black people. And be sure to annunciate and pronounce those words accurately.
And if you don’t know the melody, sing it to Old MacDonald or Twinkle Twinkle. The use of offensive racial words in the mainstream needs to stop. If only white people saying it makes it offensive, we should let Rush Limbaugh sing these songs, written by blacks, on his show.
And watch the sparks fly.

The paycheck of Mr Dogg is signed by white suburban kids.
The paycheck of Mr Imus was signed by some of the biggest corporations in America.
April 15th, 2007 at 12:45 pm
I forgot some relevant statistics…
93.4% of all white suburban kids buy Snoop Dogg CDs.
5 of the top 8 corporations signed Mr. Imus’ checks. Literally. Before Mr. Imus could get paid, his check had to be signed by 5 corporations.
74.5% of urban black kids actually listen to Broadway cast albums. Among their favorites are “Thoroughly Modern Millie” and “West Side Story” (now you know where the gang problem came from).
And the most important data:
88.9% of all Jews were against what Imus said. 7.2% of all Jews didn’t see what the problem was with Imus discussing gardening equipment, and 3.9% of all Jews said that even after a week and a half they still didn’t know who the f*** Don Imus was.

Read here to see how a liberal will play twister with logic to arrive at a “Snoop Dogg OK, Imus Not OK” conclusion.
What used to be called delusional is now known as nuanced. Or so say 85.3% of the Jews I know.
