What an idiot
Geraldo Rivera was on Fox News last night, on a program called The Five, where he addressed Kendrick Lamar‘s performance of “Alright” to open up Sunday’s BET Awards, which included him standing on a dilapidated cop car.
“Alright,” a standout record from Kendrick’s sophomore LP, To Pimp A Butterfly, is a Pharrell-produced banger that uses a feel-good chorus–“I’m f*cked up, homie you f*cked up, but if God got us, then we gon’ be al-right”–to contrast the prevalent issues facing inner-city youth today, “we hate po-po/want to kill us dead in the streets for sure.” According to Rivera, it’s songs like “Alright” that have plagued African-Americans in 2015 and in recent years.
Rivera referenced that very “po-po” line, calling it, and lines like it “counter-productive,” and part of the problem with race issues in today’s society. “This is exactly the problem,” Rivera says.
Watch the full segment above, and keep in mind. Geraldo Rivera, and any major news anchor on Fox News, a la Bill O’Reilly, is the last place any sane, informed citizen will end up looking for an objective, bigot-free opinion on race issues in America for exactly this reason.
