		<description>Also SEX DOES NOT SELL. thats the other lie. Sex sells on short terms. NICE lasts forever. Think of a overtly sexual song and words from say the 90s. How bout feelin on your booty by rkelly. HOW OFTEN DOES THAT PLAY!? WHO is remaking THAT?!

I believe I can fly on the other hand has been covered by singers, and even orchestral groups for MUZAK!

Sex sells... FOR NOW. Look at eddie murphy who insulted bill cosby for telling him to stop cursing. he sided with richard pryor...who is now dead. Now ....eddie&#039;s BIGGEST MOVIES are the PG  13 ones!!!!! The Klumps, Nutty proffessor, Coming to america!

SEX SELLS for NOW! Who watches PORNOGRAPHY from 1970s? but Classic MOVIES from the 70s STILL sell!!!

So black people making crap rap and sex songs is ALL about racism and the white distributors who tell US what will sell. AND NO I am not gonna NOT LISTEN TO ANY RADIO AT ALL... I want to listen o music, but if all there is , is sex, then I have little option or be a gump... while whites get variety?!?! Not gonna happen.</description>

		<description>The FACT is, MUSIC influences people. if it did NOT, there would be NO radio. if the industry didnt think your song could motivate sales, then they know you wont get air time either. The readio want to use the song to MOTIVATE people to listen. if Booty meat makes people listen to the commercials, then it plays.

Also making people &quot;raise their kids&quot; and turn off the radio is stupid. if ALL you offer to eat is crap, guess what people will tend to eat in general? YES we could stop our kids from listening, but WHY? why should I have to monitor my kids from the radio ANY MORE than any other culture? If the distributors of Black music (whites) choose to promote talentless rap music and sell ONLY that, guess what will sell? TALETLESS RAP! if all there is to eat in a neighborhood is Junk food and Not ONE family restaurant, Guess what people will eat? JUNK FOOD


NO culture is going to take it upon themselves to NOT accept  what is put before them if it is what is offered in MASS.

For example, if you were in some small southern white area, and you were white, there is a GOOD chance you will like country. You have to have REGULAR ACCESS to some other form to turn against the crowd and like say... Opera. So hip hop has to be on the radio  or tv for you to say &quot;i wanna listen to that instead&quot;. THAT is simple psychology of human nature.

its not an excuse. It is science. NO culture goes against mass influence. If the MASS are doing something, it is likely YOU will do the same.

For example, Cursing. If your peers curse, and your family curse, YOU WILL LIKELY curse.
Its not being WEAK. Its being Influenced by the mass like ALL OTHER RACES are. So stop this crap about Black musicians not having ANY responsibility to make Music that is GOOD for us and not BAD for us.</description>

		<description>O wow.... such a heated discussion. Bootymeat???? That&#039;s horrible. But, we can&#039;t keep blaming the media or music industry. As long as we keep filling their pockets, their going to give us what we pay for. We pay for trash; so we get trash. Instead of constantly hounding these industries, we need to come together &amp; give our children something else to do besides watching tv &amp; playing video games.</description>

Yet you still are the main one who comments on stuff you already know. Just hush and leave the message for non-choir members. ;)</description>

		<description>&lt;em&gt;Wha..huh??&lt;/em&gt;

That was in response to your relevation that their is an audience for ass on T.V.

&lt;em&gt;Pick your poison&lt;/em&gt;

I choose C), &quot;All the Above&quot;.  They both work for this discussion of BET.  And I&#039;m sure all the pimps, ho&#039;s, video vixens, and bad parents appreciate your advocating on their behalf.  :)

Also you picked a relatively tame song by Soulja Boy.  His biggest hit by far, the one for which he is famous for and made tons of money off of is the Superman song.   PLEASE google &quot;Superman dat hoe&quot; and read what it really means.  It is purely pornographic.  And tons of little girls are singing and dancing to this mess.  This booty meat song is just a continuation of that..  And his record company is going to continue putting this mess out as long as there is an outlet that will show it.  Soulja Boy is a kid singing pornography to other kids...</description>

		<description>&lt;i&gt;NEWSFLASH… BREAKING NEWS!… Duane from blackinformant.com blog has discovered that there is a huge demand for smut on American television!..&lt;/i&gt;

Wha..huh??

&lt;i&gt;Unfortunately there is a thing that many conservatives normally have pushed called decency on television.&lt;/i&gt;

Ooookay. since we are going to now drag this into politics...

Meanwhile, liberals and progressives spend a bulk of their time crafting laws that force people to make life choices for the greater good.

Pick your poison.</description>

		<description>NEWSFLASH... BREAKING NEWS!...  Duane from blackinformant.com blog has discovered that there is a huge demand for smut on American television!..

Unfortunately there is a thing that many conservatives normally have pushed called decency on television.  Who defines decency?  We do.  If you like to see a little ass shaking there will be plenty more places to see it. And I know, I know, BET is much better than in the past.  Thanks to people who care enough to let them know that they sucked in the past...  And due to the fact that they can no longer out smut MTV, VH1, the internets, etc...  They are finally deciding to do try some new things, after how many decades It is not about who is representing who... It&#039;s about smut on television.</description>
