Fox News criticizes Kendrick Lamar's performance @ BET Award
Quote:
On Fox News’ “The Five” Monday night, Geraldo Rivera criticized Kendrick Lamar’s performance at the BET awards — in which he rapped about police brutality in “Alright” — saying that his lyrics are “not helpful, to say the least.”
“This is why I say that hip-hop has done more damage to young African-Americans than racism in recent years,” he added. “This is exactly the wrong message.”
Dana Perino offered that the problem with the performance — in particular, the fact that Lamar delivered the lines from “Alright” while striding atop a burned out and defaced police car in front of a giant American flag — is that it “isn’t like someone on cable news who just happened to say something they regretted and that they had to go and apologize for. This was planned.”
“This is why I say that hip-hop has done more damage to young African-Americans than racism in recent years,” he added. “This is exactly the wrong message.”

If he don't sit his racist ass down.
to Kendrick and his team, and to BET for allowing such a chilling and effective performance.
