People of Intelligence

Here's a midly interesting commentary on the recent Imus controversy. This guy is a sports writer that has been picked up into the national spotlight recently because of his criticism of Sharpton and Jesse Jackson. He did an occasional fill in on ESPN, but he lost his job writing for Page 2 because he called out the guys he worked with. Ironically enough, you can see that he doesn't exactly speak all that intelligently. The really funny thing is that I can't stand his opinions when he writes about sports, but he starts talking about culture and it's not that bad. Although, he does quote Hillary Clinton: "It takes a village," but his point I find interesting: Pop culture is so pervasive that families can't avoid its influence no matter how hard they try.

Snoop Dogg can speak to your child daily, and he does. He and many other entertainers of every color are abusing that privilege. They’re corrupting minds and redefining cultural norms that were once set by people of intelligence.

The idiots are running the world now, and they’re telling our kids to sell crack and shoot each other over the slightest disrespect. We’ve even dressed the idiots up and passed them off as respectable, influential members of society. Snoop Dogg is as mainstream as apple pie. Any intelligent person who thinks today’s pop culture is as harmless as yesterday’s hasn’t raised a child, or he has a financial stake in the continuation of the cultural genocide.
