Singer-songwriter H.E.R. won Song of the Year at the Grammys on Sunday evening for her song titled “I Can’t Breathe,” inspired by Floyd’s death. While pinned to the ground by police in Minneapolis, Minnesota last year, Floyd said “I can’t breathe” multiple times throughout the arrest.

The entire media-entertainment complex has become America’s RTLM, broadcasting hate propaganda to get the coloreds of color revved up for genocide.

Did Andrew Cuomo win an award for Best Spoken Words to a Female Underling? I thought perhaps “I Can’t Breathe” is about Grandma’s last minutes at a NY nursing home.

nobody cares...a bunch of woke idiots awarding people based on color and wokeness.

You can’t even trust movie and music reviewers anymore because they filter EVERYTHING through their politics of woke.

I used to think the Grammys were only about generated cash flow. Now it’s clear that liberal causes are more important than money.

Leftwing politics has been more important that profits for a long time now. And it’s just been getting way worse in the last few years.

And there’s nothing you or anyone can do to stop this woke cultural revolution.

Garbage Awards.

Since the late 90s or so all of them have turned to effluent.

Yes there is. Alinsky them back.

Pick the target, freeze it, personalize it, and polarize it.” Cut off the support network and isolate the target from sympathy. Go after people and not institutions; people hurt faster than institutions.

That might be possible, except the main media now (twitter et al) are all leftwing and will ban you. There’s really no way to even fight anymore.

RULES FOR RADICALS Saul Alinsky

1. “Power is not only what you have, but what the enemy thinks you have.” Power is derived from 2 main sources – money and people. “Have-Nots” must build power from flesh and blood.

2. “Never go outside the expertise of your people.” It results in confusion, fear and retreat. Feeling secure adds to the backbone of anyone.

3. “Whenever possible, go outside the expertise of the enemy.” Look for ways to increase insecurity, anxiety and uncertainty.

4. “Make the enemy live up to its own book of rules.” If the rule is that every letter gets a reply, send 30,000 letters. You can kill them with this because no one can possibly obey all of their own rules.

5. “Ridicule is man’s most potent weapon.” There is no defense. It’s irrational. It’s infuriating. It also works as a key pressure point to force the enemy into concessions.

6. “A good tactic is one your people enjoy.” They’ll keep doing it without urging and come back to do more. They’re doing their thing, and will even suggest better ones.

7. “A tactic that drags on too long becomes a drag.” Don’t become old news.

8. “Keep the pressure on. Never let up.” Keep trying new things to keep the opposition off balance. As the opposition masters one approach, hit them from the flank with something new.

9. “The threat is usually more terrifying than the thing itself.” Imagination and ego can dream up many more consequences than any activist.

10. “The major premise for tactics is the development of operations that will maintain a constant pressure upon the opposition.” It is this unceasing pressure that results in the reactions from the opposition that are essential for the success of the campaign.

11. “If you push a negative hard enough, it will push through and become a positive.” Violence from the other side can win the public to your side because the public sympathizes with the underdog.

12. “The price of a successful attack is a constructive alternative.” Never let the enemy score points because you’re caught without a solution to the problem.

13. “Pick the target, freeze it, personalize it, and polarize it.” Cut off the support network and isolate the target from sympathy. Go after people and not institutions; people hurt faster than institutions.
