It was from an episode of "The Boondocks".
Forgive me as I am about to go on a long profanity laced rant. I just can't explain how pissed off I am. Before I begin, let me take you back to 1992. I was in 4th grade. In music class, we had to do an assignment on our favorite singer. I chose Michael because he was the greatest entertainer. My classmates clowned me and everyone else did their assignment on whatever rapper was the flavor of the day. While I did my research on Michael (books and encyclopedias), my classmates copied your run-of-the mill article from Black Beat or Right On. I got an A on the assignment. Since then, Michael has transcended time. Who the fuck remembers Kris Kross? Now on to the n*ggers at the BET plantation, yeah, I said that word, because that's what they are with that stupid, ignorant ass mentality that passes as Black culture. Throughout my childhood, I was teased for liking M.J. while the other classmates dug whatever has-been rapper was hot then. I was asked what is 'pop' music. Again, I ask, who the fuck remembers any of these pin-headed mother fuckers? Fucking hack-job. These jigaboos just slapped a half-assed mockery of the the world's greatest entertainment. A fucking minstrel-show of a mockery. I remember people saying "Michael's not black!" Fucking clowns, I wouldn't expect anything less from Jamie Foxx. Who the fuck will remember Young Jeezy, Soulja Boy, Lil' Wayne, T.I. or any of these pin-headed n*ggers when they pass. Michael Jackson was a man who was able to go beyond race, culture, language, etc and bring people together with his talents. He was a man who had success beyond the black community. The sambos made fun of him and dissed him, 'cuz he wasn't "street". That's something none of these ignorant motherfuckers never will achieve. M.J., Rest In Peace. You deserve a tribute fit for a 'King'. Fuck you BET and all the fucking clowns who continue to give Black entertainment a poor image. But I feel sorry for them because they are simply ignorant. Its 2009, yet some people act as if its 1849. People: A Hood Mentality is NOT Black Culture!
