Jesus. Fucking. Christ. The "Def Comedy Jam" Funeral

[CatWoman]

With Regard To Today's <s>Funeral</s> Political Rally


Why is it that we have to accept the Pantheon of the Left and see their funerals televised -- from Wellstone to Mrs. King?

Our funerals? I thought King was a national hero? I thought the civil rights struggle was a national struggle? Both Bush's showed up for this national hero.


Why is it that those who participate in these funerals feel compelled to turn a solemn, religious event into a Def Comedy Jam spectacle of anti-Republican, anti-conservative boilerplate "known facts" and demands for handouts?

Def Comedy Jam? Demands for handouts? Wow, that's some coded language.


To borrow another contributor's phrase -- the media and the left treat the Jesse Jacksons of this country and the Jesse Jacksons of the Middle East with respect, compassion, and understanding. Those of us who work hard for a living to provide for our families, humbly go to church, and try to do unto others as we would have them do unto us see our values, our lifestyles, our beliefs, and our Lord ridiculed and bashed on television, the cover of Rolling Stone, and in the mainstream media.

Note the seething resentment, the hatred of those at the funeral celebrating the life of one of this country's greatest heros.


I also think I have a clearer understanding of why the culture of so many black Americans in this country is below what it should be and is capable of being.

Oh do you? That's so nice.

14. Blame it on the stones!

Blame It On The Stones - Kris Kristofferson, Bucky Wilkin
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Mister Marvin Middle Class is really in a stew
Wond'rin' what the younger generation's coming to
And the taste of his martini doesn't please his bitter tongue
Blame it on the Rolling Stones.
Blame it on the Stones; blame it on the Stones
You'll feel so much better, knowing you don't stand alone
Join the accusation; save the bleeding nation
Get it off your shoulders; blame it on the Stones

Mother tells the ladies at the bridge club every day
Of the rising price of tranquilizers she must pay
And she wonders why the children never seem to stay at home
Blame it on the Rolling Stones.

Blame it on the Stones; Blame it on the Stones
You'll feel so much better, knowing you don't stand alone
Join the accusation; save the bleeding nation
Get it off your shoulders; blame it on the Stones

Father's at the office, nightly working all the time
Trying to make the secretary change her little mind
And it bothers him to read about so many broken homes
Blame it on those Rolling Stones.

Blame it on the Stones; Blame it on the Stones
You'll feel so much better knowing you don't stand alone
Join the accusation; same the bleeding nation
Get it off your shoulders; blame it on the Stones

Blame it on the stones, blame it on the stones.

3. Nancy Reagan anyone?

4. why did they have to make the funeral so black?

[bliss_eternal]

12. Ignorance, pure and simple.

They obviously just don't understand the way people of other cultures celebrate those that have passed on. Their comments say more about them and their ignorance than they do about the culture they are taking such great pains to criticize.

5. The "Def Comedy Jam" Funeral

If that is 'coded' language, it is not very good! It is very easy to see it is racist, as well as the "handout" remark.

Who made those racist comments? I went to the link you provided, but it doesn't say where those remarks orginated.

"I also think I have a clearer understanding of why the culture of so many black Americans in this country is below what it should be and is capable of being." :puke: :puke: :puke:

11. they orginated from this blog

17. Thank you...

...that was almost as bad as going to Stormfront! I clicked on a few of the other posts at that site...I have not seen so many encoded racist remarks in quite awhile. It was...disusting isn't even a strong enough word.

26. They don't know shit about birthin' no babies.

When Jefferson died, do you think they talked about his politics at his eulogy? Hell yes they did, he knew about birthin' babies. George Washington? FDR? Lincoln? I gave the eulogy for my dad, and it was all about politics. But I know all kinds of shit about birthin' babies.

Hi Cat!

:hi:

[CatWoman]

27. ROFL!!!

GOOD ONE!!!!

They don't know shit about birthin' no babies.

:hi: KC!!

6. These are the rantings of a loser

I have family like this. They barely scrape by and get very pissed off at those smarty pants know-it-all liberals and people with darker skin that have more money than they do. Also, I can't think of a single big mouth Right Winger that "Humbly" goes to church....

[bliss_eternal]

7. If people took the time to understand the culture,

they couldn't make such ignorant comments about it.

Some religions and cultures have very different funerals. Take for example the funerals of New Orleans--the slow marches through the streets that while slow, solemn music is played. Suddenly, the music becomes festive, people start to dance. The mourning turns into a celebration.

The funeral yesterday was not so different than what I just described.

People should not mock and speak severely of those things that they do not understand. If their only 'understanding' of black culture comes from old HBO comedy shows, such as Def Jam and MTV rap videos, they have no business criticizing the way a culture says goodbye to those they love and hold dear.

Having attended Southern Baptist funerals, Black southern Catholic funerals and White Catholic funerals, there *is* a difference in how people mourn and say goodbye to their loved ones. Neither is better than the other. They are merely different.

8. Heh

Have this asshat watch a recording of the 2000 RNC convention. It looked like Black Entertainment Television...until they panned to the audience.

Remember that?

[CatWoman]

13. was that the convention where they used CGI technology

to portray blacks in the audience? :D

[WilliamPitt]

15. Probably

and I think they had the Solid Gold dancers on stage about three thousand times.

[mdmc]

24. Like a hip hop disco...

until the crowd whited it up!

I remember... Very cosmopolitan.

9. Oh, ferkrissakes, just answer them this way

"Why is it that we have to accept the Pantheon of the Left and see their funerals televised -- from Wellstone to Mrs. King?"

Those funerals were for important people and took part of a day. Your funeral for Reagan was an embarrassingly opulent affair that happened on both coasts and choked all news broadcasting for a SOLID WEEK.

If you can't stand to see anyone but your own party honored, then don't watch. At least our folks keep it short enough for you to avoid.

10. I am fuming over this! Strange to say, but I feel pretty black right now.

...what I mean is, How dare THEY tell US what to do! I feel a part of that US right now.

[MadMaddie]

16. They have removed all pretense of their racism..

Well we black folks have always known that racism is alive and well...

Now all Americans and the world are seeing that they have put on their hoods and speaking exactly what they have been wanting to for years.

You see * gave them the platform to be more vocal and to spew their hate mongering.

<clip>
Those of us who work hard for a living to provide for our families, humbly go to church, and try to do unto others as we would have them do unto us see our values, our lifestyles, our beliefs, and our Lord ridiculed and bashed on television, the cover of Rolling Stone, and in the mainstream media.<clip>

And blacks don't work hard for a living to provide for our families? Blacks don't humbly go to church?

If you don't want to see your "White Neocon" lifestyle, beliefs and Lord ridiculed and bashed on television..CANCEL YOUR TELEVISION CABLE SERVICE AND THROW YOUR TV OUT OF YOUR HOME"!!!

I am just wondering how much more this country can take of this crap from these sick, sick people?

[Fuzz]

18. Welp, it's gone from trying to hurt the Democrats to plain ol' racist

Typical.

[KT2000]

19. Why oh Why

are the funerals of people of the liberal persuasion televised?? Because they have been the greatest Americans that's why.
They have called us to act on our better selves; to consider others and care; to strive for justice and fairness; to live the Golden Rule.
Being a liberal means opening doors, not closing them, and a life dedicated to this is one worth honoring.

As a child, I remember getting a tingling in my spine when I sang at church. I get that same feeling when the life of a person dedicated to liberal causes is honored as in the funeral of Coretta Scott King. We are reminded that humans really are capable of greatness and this funeral reminds us that it is time to rededicate ourselves.

[aden_nak]

20. Yeah, because the Ronald Reagan funeral got no coverage at all.

[mattclearing]

21. LOL...and no one politicized it either.

And everyone remembered to bring up Iran/Contra and the S&L scandal.

[bliss_eternal]

25. Even if they had--

it would have been so DRY. An off key hymn sung, a few boring poems read--maybe, some dry comments by boring, dry people.

Thinking about it is making me thirsty.

[Fenris]

22. "the culture of...black Americans...is below what it should be"

Namely, white.

[EstimatedProphet]

23. Why? Here's why:

Because the liberal pantheon, including Dr. King and Coretta Scott King, didn't just talk the talk, they walked the walk. They lived their principles. They worked to make the world a better place, and they succeeded. They were people to be honored.

That's why you, Mr. Redneck Pigfucker Inbred Neanderthal, don't get the attention you think you deserve, and the honoring of society. It shouldn't go to you. You don't deserve it. It went to them because they deserve it, and Coretta Scott King had 10,000 people turn out to celebrate her life. NO ONE will turn out to celebrate yours.

[azurnoir]

28. the really disturbing

part was the Jesse Jacksons of this country/Jesse Jacksons of the middle east, just what the hell was that supposed to mean? Now civil rights leaders are terrorist sympathizers or maybe the GOP is giving up on the Black Americans luv us meme. Condi didn't fool anyone.

[fishwax]

29. what a fucking hypocrite

Screw him, and all those who feel similarly. They're so desperate to coopt civil rights issues, symbols, and actors, and so they get upset when anyone reminds the public that the Civil Rights movement remains a living issue.
