Just because black people are upset, doesn't mean that you can't be upset too.<BR/><BR/>We are all victimized not by IMUS's comments but by the abuse of our public sqaure by the corporations that value profit over constructive public discourse.<BR/><BR/>The public needs to place a check on our 4th estate. We don't have any control over the images that we are bombarded with and our youth need to be protected.<BR/><BR/>Don't just blame rappers and MTV, you can see clear examples across the board were even average people are willing to humiliate themselves and be exploited for the hopes of public exposure. American IDOL, Who wants to Marry a Millionaire, Flavor of Love. <BR/><BR/>Our artist and entertainers are no different from other average everyday red blooded Americans in this regard.<BR/><BR/>This is exploitation but by whom?<BR/><BR/>We need to stop blaming the willingly exploited, be they black or white.<BR/><BR/>It seems that many American's will sell their soul for fame and money.<BR/><BR/>Is it appropriate for corporations to exploit the worst in us for profit.<BR/><BR/>It appears that we are destroying ourselves. We have allowed ourselves to be divided and conquered.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4567168789336947243.post-37019833249283551732007-04-10T13:26:00.000-04:002007-04-10T13:26:00.000-04:00Wow, the Imus thing is just crazy.
