In April 2007, radio “shock jock” Don Imus called the Rutgers women’s basketball team “a bunch of nappy-headed hos.” It was ignorant and unnecessary, and, despite his many apologies and his commendable record of charity work on behalf of autistic children, Imus was fired. The mob came, and Imus was summarily canceled. But did the mob solve anything?
The incident sparked a broader conversation about race, black culture, and, especially, rap and hip-hop lyrics. Oprah Winfrey convened a two-part town hall meeting. Panelists included NAACP President Ben Chavis, rap mogul Russell Simmons, rapper Common

The democrat party has been feverishly and actively aborting black babies for over fifty years. So this problem could actually be worse? I dunno. The big elephant in the room that no one dares notice, nor mention is how one obtains and maintains their Aid To Dependent Children and Families….lifeblood to survive without working.
A problem can never be solved until it’s first identified.

FTA: 'With all the progress America has made over the past five decades, there is absolutely no reason for this level of black failure and dysfunction in the year 2023. None whatsoever. ' Ah, but there IS. A perpetually aggrieved, angry and often violent underclass is highly useful to the Global Communist-One World villains. Their uppermost goal is the destruction and elimination of the USA, its heritage,its culture, its success and its future. Division, anger and resentment are a useful wedge to dismember the American Body Politic; beat it to the ground, and kick the supine corpse to death. Lovely people, aren't they?

"Nappy-headed hos," Imus said. This story makes me wonder what he would call that White House press secretary.

Current black culture has many similarities to the life of zoo animals. You can't feed and house any animal and then turn it loose in the wild after a lifetime of being cared for and coddled because it can not survive among those born in the wild. We have created the problem and we can create the solution, which is to stop the total support system. Unfortunately, democrat politics is based around the zoo environment.

It's way past time to stop caring. That "culture" is beyond redemption or correction. Just be prepared to defend yourselves, your families and your property against it. With lethal force if necessary.

So what is it about black Americans that so many cannot live normal, civilized lives? Can't be remnants of slavery as descendants of black slaves in countries like Brazil don't have the same pathologies as black Americans. Maybe it's the double-standard here in the USA where you cannot criticize or even laugh at a black American speaking with marbles if his/her mouth or pronouncing ASK as AX.

"Imus, who performed at the Radio and TV event in 1996, dealt with then-President Clinton’s scandals head on, joking about his reported infidelities and the first lady’s legal troubles.
“It didn’t go over with the President, who was to the right of me about three feet, glaring at me,” Imus recalled last week. “And to the left was the first lady, and she was glaring at me as well.
"The Clintons “were livid,” he said, understating things more than a little.
“They didn’t like being made fun of, but I didn’t give a s---,” he says. “I did not then, and do not now, give a f--- what they think.”
"When I turned to the president and said, `Remember the Astroturf in the back of the pickup?' he had the option of laughing or not laughing. He chose not to laugh and glared at me. He glared at me," Imus told listeners. ". . . Now, the speech is about 25 minutes, that's the bottom of Page 2, I know that I've got 23 minutes to go. . . . I thought, `OK fatboy, you wanna play hardball? Fine. Here we go, fasten your seat belt.' "

#1: It's been identified - over and over again, but as we're seen, it's bad for one's career.

It’s not about race, it is about extolling the worst aspects of subcultures that combine to form the population. The slow cultural revolution seeks to glorify the very evils , the vices, the deviations from the natural order, that take us step by step away from God.
