I was consuming some reaction type videos today. A reaction to the Song/Video "Black Betty". I believe that this song wouldn't have made it out of the studio and onto Vinyl today because of the Obvious Racial implications. This a Great song. This song gets pulled out and dusted off when ever there is an action sequence in a movie where things go Right off the Rails. "The Losers" is just one such movie. [This is a clip where someone dusted "Black Betty' off to show some crazy shit happening]
"The Losers" is a great movie bye the bye, I recommend checking it out. When I say Great I don't mean in the Osky [Osky being my way of indicating my lack of respect for the thing] Award Winning style, I mean Fully Unhinged Fun Action type of Great. Just like "Dead Pool" is a Great movie. The actors in any of the "Dead Pool" movies will never be awarded an Osky for their work in any of the DP movies. But to my way of thinking that means that "Dead Pool" is All the Better For it. "Dead Pool" is clearly not and Clearly and Happily Not hamstrung by all the Bureaucratic Bull Shit that typifys Holly Woke movies today. See the calamitous Bull Shit that is the Disney's and their 'Star' Ratchet Zeitgeist attempt to KILL Snow White. [I call her Ratchet Zeitgeist be cause if there was every anyone who was ever FURTHER from any understanding of society it is Ratchet Zeitgeist]. To be sure there is SO much more bad press to be seen that there is good. Maybe this will prove to be THEE exception to the phrase "There is no such thing as Bad Press."
Ok so the Osky's used to be an award show that people watched so that they could stand around the 'water cooler' the next day and feel informed and also to root for their favorite. NOW the Osky's is just a bunch of rich beyond the dreams of Avarice pricks preaching to us the less fortunates about how the world Should be run according to their way of thinking. I don't know when the first actor took on the mantle of political activist. The first that I recall this happening was when Marlon Brando had a [NON-indian] woman collect his Osky as some sort of protest.
But I digress. Again the song "Black Betty" could never even be imagined in today's world. But it did get me to consider the idea that idea that was proposed by this "South Park" episode where all of the kids are replaced by Cathleen Kennedy's pandering nonsense.
What would happen if this song was titled "White Betty". Perhaps titled after Mrs. Betty White. I still think that "White Betty" wouldn't fly either primarily because Mrs. Betty White while very very funny was one "Wild and Crazy" Gal. Very politically incorrect even back in the day. Most Funny people are not very politically correct. Tim Allen Denis Miller Jeff Foxworthy... This list, the list of the Blacklisted Black Balled goes on and on and on and on and on...
