Hmmm. SO this bothers me a little bit. I mean it, but not whole heartily - this is more just me venting one of my latest thoughts...
the Superbowl Committee is racist.
yup!
who is singing the national anthem? Alicia Keys.
who is the half time entertainment? Beyonce (and maybe the other 2 Destiny's Child chicks)
now, when the National Anthem singer is white and the half time show is white, people cry that there is no diversity, it's a racist production, etc... however when it's all black entertainment... crickets. no one can squeak out a complaint or accusation.
just for fun, let's look at the Presidential Inauguration that's coming up... also racist! black president...who's singing? Beyonce. of course. plus, Beyonce and the Obama clan are BFFs. so i guess that makes sense.
why don't we make these things more racially diverse?? it sure doesn't look like the USA is ruled by rich, white old bigot men...looks like the opposite, to me. I am really disappointed in the LACK of diversity in these two upcoming huge national events.
While we are talking about Beyonce (who, in my belief, DID FAKE her pregnancy!!), what the hay is up with the "White House" removing the petition from their website that wanted to remove Beyonce from performing at the inauguration?!?! She just signed a huge deal with Pepsi and it's a "conflict" with what Michelle Obama is shoving down every one's throat about obesity and healthy eating, therefore a large amount of people have signed this petition saying the White House is being hypocritical. Which, I AGREE!! If Michelle and her family want to be all high and mighty and push their own menus on to Americans and our public schools, then they should set good examples in EVERY public appearance and practice what they preach! They are showing their support for a person who is the new face of one of the leading contributors (SODA) to our obesity problem in this nation. But no. the Obamas would NEVER shun Beyonce!!
ughh. it's ridiculous. if ANY of these instances were Republicans or all white, our liberal/mainstream media would be having hissy fits left and right!! go figure.
do NOT even get me started on the Wayans Brothers stupid "White Chicks" movie. YES, I AM offended. anyway... I will leave it at that.
so there is my rant.
tonight at the Cabooze should be an awesome set... a Johnny Cash tribute show! http://www.cabooze.com/ check it out! even though we have a gym class at 6:45 tomorrow morning, I think we might have to check this out!
it's a Ring Of Fire type of day.
welcome to the weekend!
Appearance is everything!
ReplyDeleteMaybe (and this is just a thought) there will be a balancing out that takes place over the next couple of years and through that process things seem tilted to one side over the other. Possibly this is just a balancing out from how things have been so slanted, for so long in this country but I don't know.
Yay! Johnny Cash!
