ED Show was a major let down today!! http://www.msnbc.msn.com/...
Let me start by saying that I grew up on Michael Jackson's music. But I'm not a "Wacko Jacko fan. In fact as an African American male I say with sadness that MJ was the personification , the quintessential example of a self-deprecating black man. I can never thank my parents enough for not letting me get a Jerry Curl, or that Beat it Jacket!! But once again the ugly side of American culture's hypocrite double standard monster showed it's fangs again today. The man is not even in the ground, and yet this douche can"t give MJ one day of sadness and praise for accomplishments that no other person "who just sang and danced", could ever do again. The surprising thing was, that of all the places the monster showed up on The Ed Show. Let me first start with ED. I can appreciate the act of debate, what I have a problem with is Ed's total acquiescence to his right wing guest. Ed you kissed Donny's ass, and in no way represented a liberal point of view or a counter point. Maybe for Talking Box machine, you can't challenge folks & keep them coming back. If that's that's the case Ed please consider having more liberal guest then Conservatives. Truth be told that's what we want to see anyway; you've got the platform use it!! I for one, am giving you a pause for the next few weeks. You really let me down on this Ed so I'm turning you off. Now to Donny and the Hypocrite Monster. If I can run through a few a of the great American stars of past and present Jerry Lee Lewis (incestuous pedophile ) Elvis, (Oh yeah it's true check it out) Woody Allen (molested, then married his step daughter) My point? Where was the question of America's culture of celebrity homage then? Where was question of "Why do so many people dis-spell personal flaws over the positives attributes that entertainer had brought to the world?" The answer: cause this was the first time (and more then likely the last ) that a global homage will be paid to a flawed, troubled, but immensely talented black man.
