Friday Frolic

Here is my half-penny on the whole Imus affair, what he said in its context was wrong and a bit tacky considering who he was referring to, top collegiate atheletes playing for a National Championship but not worth being ruined over. Critics and supporters alike have pointed out the plethora of this language among the hip-hop crowd and there is a difference, the women the rappers are referring to are whores, short and simple and for them to rap about being surrounded by them is just being honest and not very complimentary. I despise rap, but I have worked as a roadie during my younger days as an aspiring rock guitarist and know what the "scene" is all about. These groupie "hos" are just that, tramp filth, I know, I have met them, been friends with them, some actually smart girls with hots for rock stars and no morals and hooked on cocaine among other things. What the rappers rap about is the reality of what they see and it ain't good, it ain't pretty and they are making major money from the angst they see and communicating it in a way many can't understand.
Enter poor Don Imus trying to be funny and hip, playing off his guest's words, in his way screwed up, one because he is white and two, he forgot the lesson of the greatest sportscaster ever Howard Cosell who was the first loss in the PC wars with Jesse Jackson, white males cannot be hip or cool. Don Imus is a bleeding-heart liberal that has done tons for under priveledged kids and even he can't escape the hammer. Even Rutger's coach said " We are on the road to forgiveness...Let the man have some dignity".
Yes, our daughters and nieces have a vicious world to enter, lets just teach them what "Ho" or whore means and let us also teach our sons and nephews that girls/women are truelly our most wonderous half, that they make life complete. I say wonderous not just for their beauty but they are freaking impossible for the male mind to understand, I mean being able to create life inside her is pretty amazing. The rappers are describing the sluts "nappy-heades hos" around them it fits, let our little ladies know what they are describing. A profile of the young ladies on Rutger's basketball team hardly meets that definition, I give those young women and their coach very high marks for class, that is where to point our young ladies. Teach them to rise above the hos and pimps, our culture sure ain't going to do it.
