Rona Where?: These Rappers Continue To Party & Behave Like We’re Not In The Middle of A Pandemic (Hip Hop website tries to "shame" performers, looks stupid in the process)

I stumbled upon this website and found this article to be tone-deaf and hilarious. This writer could easily work for the NY Times, CDC, or any other statist publication.

I'm hardly an expert on hip hop, etc. But when I read about losers like the New Orleans NBA Coach declaring himself ‘Poster Boy For White Privilege’, I suspect that a phalanx of black folks are mocking (or worse...) these patronizing white guys mercilessly. And rightly so.

The blonde in the middle looks like a superspreader. ;)

Seriously, these "cultural events" are one of the main reasons outbreaks are continuing. Blacks and Hispanics aren't paying any attention to some "white man's disease."

If a bunch of rappers get it, I won’t shed atear.

These rappers are healthy men in their twenties and thirties. I applaud them for treating the coronavirus restrictions with contempt - they have next to nothing to fear from this disease. All of us should be treating these restrictions with contempt, except for those of us who are elderly or have other health conditions.

Media is getting frustrated that they no longer control the narrative among black people.

Um, no.

The cause likely isn't super-spreader gatherings or a "new strain" but is COLDER WEATHER!!

As I wrote elsewhere, lest anyone think otherwise, we are seeing a SEASONAL RISE in cases and fatalities. The majority of deaths in most countries can be attributed to causes that feature a distinct seasonal pattern. The figure depicts the relative monthly frequencies of nine selected causes of death in the United States for women and men combined for the years 1959–2014. The reported number of counts in parentheses in the title of each panel is the actual number of deaths.

Viruses gonna virus. Even non-viruses gonna non-virus. I'm with AnotherUnixGeek in saying "These rappers are healthy men in their twenties and thirties. I applaud them for treating the coronavirus restrictions with contempt - they have next to nothing to fear from this disease. All of us should be treating these restrictions with contempt, except for those of us who are elderly or have other health conditions."

These alleged people appear to enjoy hip-hop. How is that possible?

Must one be contaminated with Satanic Evil, or is stupidity alone enough?

[caver]

Are there any rappers that don’t look stupid?

[DoodleBob]

I dunno...stupid comes in many forms. Let's pick the most stupid.

[Don W]

Using the numbers in the article, the “death by ‘Rona” rate is 1.76%. That is just barely above statistical noise, and likely within the margin of error.

We are being lied to and misdirected constantly, and I am growing weary of this nonsense.

[SharpRightTurn]

The “’Rona’.

[Lurker]

She’s got a Queen of Spades tattoo on her somewhere.

The rappers have a better chance of dying from an overdose of hot lead, (being shot), than dying from the ‘Rona .

[DoodleBob]

Again, I’m not part of the scene. But I have to imagine that the artists being “shamed” a) don’t call it “the Rona”, b) don’t follow this website, c) will keep doing what they’re doing despite not following “what they’re supposed to do.”

[MNDude]

Man. Have you zoomed in on that image?

[DoodleBob]

The guy has a lot of gold chains.

[cowboyusa]

No, good for the rappers.

[ZOOKER]

Really had to force myself, but I managed to read at least half the article. The artists are young, opinionated, woke, self-absorbed, and believe themselves invulnerable and impervious. Some will find out different, but it's no big loss to me.

I'm not wishing CV-19 on them, understand. They don't look like they're at risk for COVID anyway - more likely bullets.

The article was mildly disapproving of their unmasked, undistanced behavior as it gushed about their lavish over-the-top celebrations. They set a bad example, but they are bad boyz, right?

Set me to thinking about the Oscars - they hired Ricky Gervais to heckle them for a few minutes, forced a tear, then went right back to the same cr*p they were doing before with a clear conscience.

I don't approve of either one, but I'm not in their target demographic anyway.

[AFreeBird]

Well, Hell. There’s a blonde in that top pic with underboob showing. They’re almost ready to pop out of the covering!

It’s all good here man.... 😎
