Quantcast Double Standard …. as usual | Young Black Professional Guide

Young Black Professional Guide Double Standard …. as usualI love the opening sentence in the following Associated Press article. Part of me thinks it was written by a hip-hop fan. : )

“Not only rappers fight at award shows: Kid Rock and Tommy Lee tussled in the audience at the MTV Video Music Awards on Sunday night.”

I wonder if the Kid Rock/Tommy Lee fight – arguably over a woman – will start a national conversation about the “dangers” of rock music. Or perhaps, people will examine the depiction of women (like Rock and Lee fling Pamela Anderson) in rock and roll culture?

Probably not. That would be too much like right.

  • I’m totally not surprised that the media didn’t make a big deal out of this. The headlines didn’t read “Kid Rock and Tommy Lee FIGHT!”.. it read:

    “Kanye West throws profanity laced tirade torwards MTV”…

    figures…
