I debated about writing this blog but than I came across a great posts on FACEBOOK by April R. Silvers thoughts on this matter and I felt that anger rise within me to say something about how that made me feel. Besides it’s my blog anyways….lol.Last Sunday night I tuned into the 09' BET Awards after coming home late from a speaking engagement that I had to be at and so I caught the last 30 mins of the show, expecting to hear or see a final tribute to Michael Jackson. What I got was anything but a tribute to Michael Jackson but a reality check of how trashy mainstream media will go to keep their popularity alive.
Here’s what my Tweets from twitter page looked like as I was watching this garbage and conversing with some friend about what was on the screen:

If you didn’t have the discomfort of watching Lil’ Wayne performance then I’d advise you to search it and see why everybody is buzzing about his performance for all the wrong reason. The song “Every Girl” flat out degraded women as he rhymes (which In my opinion he sucks at) about basically having sex with almost every girl he can have sex with. You could barely hear the song because almost every other word was “Bleeped” out! Sounded more like someone trying to tune a radio and not being able to pick up a signal…It was that bad!
Worse than the bleeping, worse the performance, worse than anything was him bringing little girls, even his own daughter on stage while he was performing the song! WHAT! Are you kidding me! Yes, he’s basically pimping and treating his own flesh and blood child as one of his many HOOCHIE girls he rapping about. I decided to not post the full Lyrics because I don’t want that nonsense on my web page but here are a few bars from his song:
“for free suites I’d give Paris Hilton all-nighters,
in about 3 years holla at me Miley Cyrus”
I could only imagine what his daughter’s thought as their Idol Hannah Montana is be sexually assaulted by their father on live TV. I do apologize for the long post but I make no apologizes about the stupidity and filth people would display to demoralize women in the name of Lust! Let’s be honest, lil’ Wayne has not been the 1st to do this and will not be the last either.
The moral fabric of family values, purity, integrity, respect and Godliness has been on the decline for decades and with each foothold the enemy can influence a person to desire after their flesh will only put us in jeopardy of what’s to come. Of course it never seizes to amaze me when these artist are esteemed and honored by society they never forget to thank God for it, yet they have just wounded the heart of God!

Indeed, they made some very wrong decisions that night.
While I didn't have the opportunity to view the BET Awards, I am interested in seeing the performance you discuss. Benny, I really like your thoughts in your last paragraph: "The moral fabric of family values, purity, integrity, respect and Godliness has been on the decline for decades and with each foothold the enemy can influence a person to desire after their flesh will only put us in jeopardy of what’s to come." I'm afraid of what lies ahead 1 year, 5 years, 10, or even 25 years down the road if producers keep pushing the limits of moral and ethical integrity.
Benny, THANKS SO MUCH for the post and for not holding back. If main street media can flaunt that junk at us, why can't we (you in this case) speak up about how disgusting it is!!!
Benny,
I can't find that performance... those dudes are wack and I won't there waste my time or money on anything associated with him and those that promote his message. I'm listening to the lyrics... usually, yeah, sounds like he's trying to prove something and likely talking out of insecurity. What a punk, but you can't expect much from people like this that look to degrade, treat other human beings like objects, and so on. Obviously, in his little world, separated from reality, he values "having a different girl everyday of the week..." Okay, let's see how long he lives with that type of lifestyle.
People have to be smarter, and look right through this crap, it's a joke... he's a joke. It's an issue for sure, but there are bigger problems to be concerned about than some guy rapping about his lifestyle. He has the freedom to chose how he wants to live, but I know younger kids look up to people in his kind of position. That needs to change, but we can say there's tons of changes that need to occur.
The underline issue: those systems, people, governments or whatever, that attempt to deface people (made in the image of God) in inhumane ways... need to be confronted and called into account.
A call to love your neighbor= I take issue with anything or anyone that defaces, threatens, degrades (public ethics) God's creation, which means everything he's created.
Hopefully, we (God's family) can show others something better. I must stop for now. Love ya bro! :)
