Snoop is honestly preaching to the choir although I give him props for still holding his stance.
Any decent, even marginally intelligent person understood what was meant by snoops original rant.
The people he's addressing dont give a fukk about clarification, context, inference or morals. They were going to come for him no matter what as long as he was riding for kobe and attacking these sambo puppets. They have one mission and that is to play their part as agents of subversion.
We went from " Oh my god I cant process this shyt , Kobe's really gone" to "I didnt mean no harm by my off-the-cuff rant about these bourgeois house nikkas slandering black legends at the behest of their white media conglomerate corporate overlords."
We need to go just as hard to maintain Kobe's legacy, and even if not the likes of Cosby himself, fight for the ideal of what he use to represent in the 80's and 90's. Black people cant afford to just be deleting our heros just because the white media said so. If we do that then white people will try to rewrite history and prop up their worst in place of our best. Besides Cosby didnt rape shyt, Black people know it and the real reason we bushed him is because of the poundcake speech in the early 2000's. He was an out of touch, senile old man who had lived long enough to see himself become the villian because he lost faith in his people after years of pushing the line and showing us the power of positive representation of black people regardless if it was fictional. What he did with comedy and the Cosby show manifested into reality for alot of us that didnt think the phil huxtable life was attainable.
Do I respect him for hating on Pryor, Eddie and other up and coming comedians. Hell no. he was foul and short sighted for thinking it could only be done "his" way.
They retroactively paint him as a sexual deviant and rapist, when he was doing what every other high status socialite of his hey day was doing: Snorting and smoking massive amounts of drugs and having orgies at studio 54 and house parties. If he'd actually raped any white woman, regardless of status back then he would have gotten his "nikka wakeup call" a whole lot sooner. These crackas saw a weak, frail shadow of a man in his 80s and kicked him while he was down as only a cracker can do for money and deprecation.
That's what they do with out legends, treat them like merchandise; buy low and sell high.
Meaning they go on a smear campaign to devalue their worth and legacy then acquire ownership of their publishing, copy rights, estate, (buying low)
then turn around and try to clean up their legacy so they can profit off their catalog by manipulating fans high on nostalgic. (selling high)
When these crackas play dirty they have a "scorched Earth" policy. It's not enough to physically beat the shyt outta them and think its a win for the black race. We have to fight propaganda with propaganda. We have to be just as gangsta with economics and controlling the narrative of how we get represents as we are with a gun. Because all of this shyt boils down to some gangsta shyt; The art of war.
