Kid Rock is very convincing as a redneck. I can't believe Pam Anderson fucked him. He looks like he needs a bath...preferably in Lysol.

nod Sometimes there's something slightly sexy about him but he definitely looks like he'd benefit from a flea dip.

Kid put his health at risk, in my estimation, by hooking up with Pam. She'd already tested positive for Hepatitis C before they exchanged vows.

That's what I couldn't remember. Whether she was already pos when she hooked up with him. How did she get hep C in the first place? Couldn't have been from all her fuckin' else she'd have more babies to show for it as well e.g. riding raw.

In 2002, she maintained that she contracted Hep C through the reuse of a tattoo needle with her ex Tommy Lee. She married Kid Rock 4 years later.

Yeah, he's contradictory too. Plus, Rick Ross is NOTHING without J.U.S.T.I.C.E. League (his beat/instrumental producers), so I've BEEN laughing at him anyway. lol

One unstable organization, very political.

Isn't that their point? How else do you advance civil rights?

Well, I guess it would be more fair to say that the Roman Catholic Church is very political. They're more political than gospel. The NAACP is more about money, power and position than economic and social concerns for blacks, but if you research this organization, it will shed light on who really started it. That's all I'm saying.

How did he ever convince some of the general public (including yours truly) that he was a good ole boy? I swear I thought he was a southern boy who relocated to Detroit.

Also, didn't he hook up with Anna Nicole as well?

They engaged in a war of worlds once over a reality show she was shooting for E! Entertainment, but I don't recall reading about their hooking up.

lol This is really bothering you isn't it? They've toured together for years and are actually quite close. Run's family has stayed with Kid at his home in Malibu and they were returning the favor on the ep I saw.

Check out his tshirt.

Here's the full episode, it was actually really funny.

But this shit right here is sheer blasphemy Kid basically does Run's whole set with him on tour doing DMC's rhymes disbelief

I feel strange saying this but here goes. Why is the NAACP giving this white man an award at all? Regardless of the flag issue, what has he done to advance the struggle of black and brown people that is deserving of an NAACP award? And even if someone can name some efforts, are there not black and brown people who have done the same or more to be deserving of an honor? Again, I feel strange saying this but sometimes these types of black organizations try too hard to be inclusive and accommodating to white people. While countless black people are working in the city of Detroit (and outside of it) to try to revitalize the city, the NAACP wastes accolades on a white man. Its like we can’t even celebrate our own contributions without throwing the white man in the mix. Sometimes I feel like our folks are so lost. I am having a hard time communicating my frustration here, but I hope someone understands what I am saying.

Why? Because the NAACP was founded by whites. Before any of you get your panties in a bunch, research it.

http://www.naacp.org/page...cp-history

The NAACP was formed partly in response to the continuing horrific practice of lynching and the 1908 race riot in Springfield, the capital of Illinois and resting place of President Abraham Lincoln. Appalled at the violence that was committed against blacks, a group of white liberals that included Mary White Ovington and Oswald Garrison Villard, both the descendants of abolitionists, William English Walling and Dr. Henry Moscowitz issued a call for a meeting to discuss racial justice. Some 60 people, seven of whom were African American (including W. E. B. Du Bois, Ida B. Wells-Barnett and Mary Church Terrell), signed the call, which was released on the centennial of Lincoln's birth.

Regardless, the white people involved in the early days of the NAACP actually DID something to address racial injustice and inequality for minorities. So 119's point is still valid, what has Kid Rock done to do the same?

Mary White Ovington, Oswald Garrison Villard, and William English Walling, one white female and two white males founded the NAACP. They were the ones that set up Ida Wells and W.E.B. Dubois in these heading positions. I am not saying that blacks were not involved. I am saying that blacks were not the original founders. The organization were heavily financed by the Jews. Research it some more.

Do you mean whites as a whole? Then I stand corrected. It was three whites. I hope this help.

I am well aware of the contribution of Whites to the NAACP leadership, as I imagine most black adults are aware. I don’t discount the contributions of Whites, to the black freedom struggle, (particularly those from the Abolitionist, Quaker, and Jewish communities.) However, I still believe that these people should not be elevated or praised over the black people who have toiled and struggled and led (then and now).

I don’t know if I am articulating this as well as I’d like but my feeling is this: Black people have been fighting for freedom, pushing for progress, breaking boundaries, healing communities, and solving our problems since we met the US shore. Yes white people have been involved, some in very significant and important ways. But I don’t believe we need to go out of our way to highlight them, when we barely even recognize and lift up ourselves.

To link it back to the D: I know dozens of teachers, urban planners, social workers, and health care providers who work tirelessly very single day on efforts to serve and revitalize the city of Detroit and more specifically to help black people. Some of them are recognized for their efforts, but most of them are not. These are black people, who could be in Atlanta, DC, New York, Charlotte; dozens of other places where they could be thriving black professionals with a lot less hassle but they have committed themselves to service and black people in Detroit. But they’re black, so its as if their contribution is less remarkable than some white person’s. And in this case, this white person being Kid Rock of all people. Give me a break.

I don’t know what the NAACP is thinking here. But I can guarantee you that there are more deserving black people right there in Detroit who should be recognized.

Believe me, I understood every word you're saying. How could a suppossedly black organization give their praises to a white artist when they should be helping and praising their own, regardless of their respected occupation. What I was trying to articulate myself is the cause to the effect. What you do not see affects what is seen. Jewish financiers have been backing this organization, since the 20th century. Therefore, if someone is financing you, they are controlling you, socially and financially. That's why I have stated that they're one unstable organization, and encouraged others to research it. They're more about money, power and position than the love of the fellow brothers and sisters. Two words: sell-outs.
