Ja Rule's words hurt the broader community

And I quote:

"Dating shows
that's showing two guys or two girls in mid-afternoon.
Let's talk about shit like that! If that's not fucking up
America, I don't know what is." —Rapper Ja
Rule, SOHH.com

Funny, all this
time I thought President Bush was fucking up America. Go
figure.

The statement
above is from rapper Ja Rule on the September 25
congressional hearing on the lyrical content and imagery of
African-American women in hip-hop.

In a recent
interview with Complex magazine, Ja Rule decided to get political.

"They got my man
Doug Morris under fire and shit, they got him going
down to go speak to Congress about hip-hop lyrics, are you
fucking serious?" Ja said. "There's a fucking black
kid right now about to get 25 years for having a fight
with some white kids over hanging the nooses over the
white tree, let's get to that. Let's get into shit like
that, because that's what's tearing up America, not me
calling a woman a bitch or a hoe on my rap songs."

"And if it is,
then we need to go step to Paramount, and fucking MGM,
and all of these other motherfuckers that's making all of
these movies and we need to go step to MTV and Viacom,
and let's talk about all these fucking shows that they
have on MTV that is promoting homosexuality, that my
kids can't watch this shit," he continued. "Dating shows
that's showing two guys or two girls in mid-afternoon. Let's
talk about shit like that! If that's not fucking up
America, I don't know what is."

"There's a lot of
issues we can address besides hip-hop, but they want
to put everything on us like we're the problem," Ja added.
"This is going to be a shameless fucking plug, but I said,
'when everyone wants to point the finger, and ask why
there's so much corruption, they only need to look in
the mirror.' It starts with themselves."

Oh, where to
start?
