As Ethics Alarms has stated many times, any individual, official,
politician, pundit, journalist, celebrity or organization that abuses
its public trust and engages in unethical and destructive conduct when
their statements make the public more ignorant than it already is, and
it already is too ignorant to competently participate in a democracy.
Welcome to the BET Awards!
The hostess of last nights televised festivities (of a racially
exclusive awards show that makes pronouncements about equality and civil >rights), Taraj Henson, got things off to an irresponsible start by
saying, with the Im pissed off and certain I am right though I have no
clue what Im ranting about expression on her face you see above by saying,
Its about damn time we talk about the fact that guns have more rights
than a woman. Its a sad day in America. A weapon that can take lives
has more power than a woman who can give life, if she chooses to.
This is being called a powerful statement this morning, on CNNs HLN
among other places. Stupid statements are not powerful. It is not a fact
that guns have more rights than women: inanimate objects have no rights. >Henson is making declarations about rights when she doesnt understand
what a right is. Weapons dont take lives: they have no agency or
autonomy. People take lives. Unlike guns, abortion is an act performed
by people, and that act has taken far, far more lives in the U.S. since
Roe v. Wade was written than people firing guns have. No laws in any
states either require women to give life or prevents them from doing
so. The laws at issue do limit the extent to which a women, having
created human life, can unilaterally end it when she chooses to.
Misleading, inarticulate, hyperbolic and intellectually muddled >pronouncements like Hensons do no good whatsoever, and a lot of harm by >making intelligent debate impossible.
Others were similarly adamant and destructive.
Rapper Janelle Mone introduced the nominees for best female R&B/pop
artist thusly:
To Black queer artists, to Black non-binary artists, these artists
making art on our own terms, owning our truths, and expressing ourselves >freely and unapologetically in a world that tries to control and police
our bodies, my body, our decisions, and my decisions. Fuck the Supreme
Court. I know were celebrating us right now, as we should. We
absolutely deserve to celebrate. Especially now, we must celebrate our
art by protecting our rights and our truths.
Nobody gets to have their own truths. Personalized truths are better >known as delusions, fantasies, and rationalizations. Nor is any
citizens body free to do whatever it chooses: BETs celebrities would
have served their community better by pointing out that they do not, for >example, have the freedom to kill each other, especially in the wildly >disproportionate numbers they do. Abortion may become illegal because
there are very strong arguments ( I would say irrefutable) that the
procedure also involves killing human beings, and if Janelle Mone has a >persuasive counter-argument to offer, it had better consist of something
more substantial than protecting our rights and our truths.
Then singer Jazmine Sullivan appealed to the self-interest of the legion
of black men who depend upon facing no responsibilities for having >unprotected and promiscuous sex, leading to a black out-of-wedlock
pregnancy dwaring that of any other demographic:
OK, fellas? Yall got us? Cause we got yall. This is everybodys
issue. As always, I do this for the women, for my sisters especially.
Its a hard time right now for us, and I want to speak directly to the
men. We need yall. We need yall to stand up stand up for us, stand
up with us. If youve ever benefited from a woman making one of the
toughest decisions of her life, which is to terminate a pregnancy, you
need to be standing with us. This is not just a womans issue. This is >everybodys issue, and we need your support more than ever.
The same line of reasoning argues for men rallying to repeal laws
against drive-by shootings.
Ill be collecting and periodically reporting on the notable celebrity >outbursts about the Dobbs decision, which none of the bloviating celebs
have read. If you encounter a fair, informed, well-reasoned and civil >critique of the decision by a celebrity, please let me know.
Also alert me if you see a passenger pigeon flying overhead

i am wonderfully hungry!

Shame on andrew, look at his red face.
He is trying to pull a fast one. His scripture bit is found among these:
'14 Bible verses about Spiritual Hunger'
Psalms
81:10 I am the LORD thy God, which brought thee out of the land of Egypt: >open thy mouth wide, and I will fill it.
Proverbs
13:25 The righteous has enough to satisfy his appetite, But the stomach of >the wicked is in need.
Joel
2:26 And ye shall eat in plenty, and be satisfied, and praise the name of
the LORD your God, that hath dealt wondrously with you: and my
people shall never be ashamed.
Psalms
107 For he satisfies the thirsty and fills the hungry with good things.
Acts
14:17 "Yet he did not leave himself without witness, for he did good by >giving you rains from heaven and fruitful seasons, satisfying
your hearts with food and gladness."
someone eternally condemned & ever more cursed by GOD perseverated:

Subject: a very very very simple definition of sin ...
Does andrew's "definition" agree with scripture? Let's see in 1 John:
John wrote this to christians. The greek grammer (sic) speaks of an ongoing >> status. He includes himself in that status.
1:8 If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is
not in us.
1:9 If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, >> and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.
1:10 If we say that we have not sinned, we make him a liar, and his word is >> not in us.
