Calvin Broadus and Society's Double-Standard
Who?
You know, Calvin...who uses the stage moniker 'Snoop Dogg'.
Yeah, that guy.
Broadus recently released a 'music' ( and I use that term very loosely ) video in which he's depicted as shooting our current President in the head.
That's right...he shoots President Trump ( depicted as a clownish image ) in the head. With a handgun.
Broadus is a convicted felon, gang member and drug trafficker who's made a name for himself in the rap industry; a criminal that's appeared on reality shows, late night talk shows...heck, he even cooked with fellow convicted felon Martha Stewart on TV, so he's gotta be a good guy, right?
His video doesn't surprise me in the least. He once released a song ( again, loosely-used word; what the heck do you call that stuff? ), that HE wrote, that advocates shooting police officers. In 'Tha Shiznit', there's a line that says "...it's 1-8-7 on a mother******* cop..."; 187 is the California penal code section for homicide, The next stanza includes reference to shooting people with an AK-47 rifle.
Clearly, Broadus is a peace-loving, patriotic American.
Let's turn the tables on this. Suppose someone like, say, Toby Keith did a music video in which he shoots a cartoon Barack Obama. The media firestorm would last for weeks and end the country music star's career, but in today's liberal, double-standard society, what Broadus did is considered 'art' and 'free speech'. The mainstream, fake-news media might have covered this story for exactly one day, never to be heard of again, but Broadus will be hailed as a social justice warrior by those thumb-sucking, participation trophy snowflakes who need safe spaces and protest micro-aggression...yet lyrics from the vast majority of felon Broadus' numbers include violence, glorify drug use and disrespect women.
There's that double-standard thing again...
