How bout we investigate the Mossad run child killing pedofile cabal instead idiot?
Just one of Trump’s little sycophantic favorites trying to curry favor. This is just more attempts at distraction from the Epstein fiasco Trump is in.
A little dancing is bad, but raping children is totally fine? Fuck I hate these people.
The party of child rape doesn’t like bad bunny…
Investigate what?
Spanish. They purposely have a different word for everything.
I mean it was a bangin halftime show. Wouldn’t you want to get paid to watch it 100 times?
Was there a bunny?
And if so, was it naughty?
He was waving the pro-independence Puerto Rican flag (light blue) and Ricky Martin was singing a song about the shit that happened in Hawaii after they got statehood… Is that naughty? Mm I liked it.
(There was also a lot of twerking, but somehow I don’t think that’s the actual source of the complaints.)
women gyrating provocatively, and Bad Bunny shamelessly grabbing his crotch while dry-humping the air”
Oh no! Did Bad Bunny steal one of Michael Jackson’s signature moves? Did his dancers dance like Shakira or Jennifer Lopez? Has this guy ever seen a Superbowl halftime show?
Meanwhile, there was a Levis ad that was exclusively super close ups of butts and no one bats an eye.
It doesn’t matter. This is all just vice signaling. They just need to tell their base how much of a racist asshole they are. What actually happened, what they said, and what effect their actions could achieve aren’t the point.
This sounds like the same moral panic that made the rounds in the 1950s/60s over rock and roll. Or, more recently, the way the right was just queening out over Timberlake/Janet Jackson, lol.
Meanwhile, the de facto leader of their party is credibly accused of rape and having ties to a pedophile. Maybe they want to look at that instead of just reiterating moral panics of the past.
Bad Bunny lives rent free in Republicans heads. I really don’t get it, them making a big deal out of it is only making them look stupider tbqh. And they don’t need that, they’re already stupid enough. They might jump the stupid shark at this rate.
It’s not as dumb as it sounds. They make a celebrity who said a few anti colonial lines their enemy to get you riled up so you can forget the Democrats on the other half of the ruling class is fully supportive of and enthusiastic about genocidal colonialism.
They get their side excited, and pacify you from seeing the real enemy (the capitalist ruling class) by pretending to be the only villains.
Don’t take the bait, they win. Democrats don’t support a free Puerto Rico either, they support colonizing it and privatizing all its resources, they just don’t say it loud and proud.
The Dems voted for statehood a long time ago. The Dems got issues, but supporting Puerto Rico isn’t one of them.
I don’t think people realize just how racist our country has been towards Puerto Rico. The only reason they aren’t a state is purely conservative racism. They were fucking sterilizing their women up until the 70’s for Christ’s sake.
Trying to blame their problems on the Democratic Party in the face of dehumanizing Republican racism has got to be one of the most tone deaf two-faced garbage takes I have ever seen.
I think you missed the point of that part of the performance. Bb was not waving the flag for statehood, he was waving the light blue flag for an independent Puerto Rico… Just after Ricky Martin sang a song about how Hawaii got screwed by statehood and they don’t want that to happen in Puerto Rico (from DTmF).
It’s not about statehood. It’s about separating from the United States. Totally anti-colonial with all that sugar cane, too.
If some wealthy people want to push for independence more power to them. Honestly, they should be separated and independent from the US after a payment of a couple of trillion dollars of reparations, of course.
I would like to point out that unless they plan on creating a new form of government they will just fall neatly into the fascist trap the rest of the world has fallen in. I don’t think wealthy pop icons are going to slit their own throats.
So it really isn’t about anti-colonial at this point as it is about anti-corporations. We need to move our mindset beyond the 20th century if we ever expect to break free as a people.
Just responding to the last part: I’d say anti-colonial basically is anti-corporate. Look at the Dutch East India Company.
Fair enough. I just think it is important to point out we are transitioning into a post-nation world ran by a corporatocracy which is the evolution of the fascist corporatism.
I am fond of saying no nation on this planet deserves the human race. Perhaps one will be someday.
Exactly.
Sure, let’s investigate a televised performance. Meanwhile, his party is going to keep sticking its fingers in its ears and yelling, nah nah nah nah nah regarding the Epstein files.
They’ll protect sexually explicit content if it involves children. GOP => Guardians of Pedophiles
Bad Bunny: “The only thing more powerful than hate is love” Republicana: “INVESTIGATE THIS DEGENERATE”
…??? 🤦♀️
claimed that it featured “explicit displays of gay sexual acts, women gyrating provocatively, and Bad Bunny shamelessly grabbing his crotch while dry-humping the air” and that the singer’s mostly Spanish-language lyrics “openly glorified sodomy and countless other unspeakable depravities.”
Stop it !!! … I already bought my ticket ok ??! it just so happens that I’m super into women gyrating provocatively 😂 lord …give me the strength to open a strip bar and advertise it as such “HERE : WOMEN GYRATING PROVOCATIVELY”
(emphasis mine 😂)
Meanwhile the MAGAts listen to songs about sex with children
Didn’t Elvis do all that too? What year is it?!
Apparently it’s moral panic o’ clock
Pearls.
Amazing wholesome halftime show vs. Epstein files
What is the context behind this image? This cannot be recent, can it?
Segregated water fountains, washrooms, etc, were legal in the US until 1964, and continued to be a thing for probably around a decade after that as people dragged their heels about actually complying with the new law.
I saw these in rural NC in the late 90s.
I just read about “Racial segregation in the United States” on Wikipedia. Does signs like these still remain in places today?
I don’t believe there are still signs like this today, at least not in public areas (because, as you pointed out in other comments, that would be illegal under the Civil Rights Act). Every now and then there are stories about non-white people being asked to leave an establishment, but those have, thankfully, become pretty rare.
White supremacists and their police found other ways to keep places segregated.
I would assume probably not, but I don’t live in the US so I couldn’t tell you for sure.
Since apparently no one else can give you a real answer, here you go: It’s a relatively recent (dated 2018) photo from the Birmingham Civil Rights Institute.

Thanks! Much appreciated.
If you’re in the US this is sad
I’m not in the US.
Good then it’s not sad I guess
Please tell me you’re not from the US and our education system hasn’t failed you this horribly.
I’m not from the US. I knew about Apartheid in Africa and I knew about the Triangular trade. I know that being a POC in the US comes with problems, for lack of a better description, compared to being a white male. I did not know that black people were seperated by law until around 1968 (according to Wikipedia, that is when segregation was outlawed in full, as of Civil Rights Act of 1964, Voting Rights Act of 1965, and the Fair Housing Act of 1968 (but not in de facto, because people)).
As to my original question, I consider recent around the last five, perhaps ten years. I would imaging this picture being taken around 1970, before something like this (hopefully) would have been removed.
EDIT: I should add that I also knew about black people and white people not mixing back then, but not that it was also by law.
EDIT 2: Now that I think about it, this is depicted in Umbrella Academy.
There areodern pictures of these because some places have moved them to museums or left them up as a lesson of how bad things were within living memory.
I learned from anther comment that this picture is from the Birmingham Civil Rights Institute.
Wow.
This is who you voted for, assholes of Tennessee. A performer who did a performance consistent with what they’ve always done, and this dude is willing to weaponize the United States government to go after this fucking entertainer because they don’t like their content! You may not admit it, but that’s not okay, and it’s not “small government”…
How many babies do you think he’s eaten on Epstein’s island?
I can only assume he cares about a singer/dancer to distract from the baby eating billionaires scandal.
It’s a tactic to fill the pipeline with so much shit you can’t keep track of. This is just another turd flowing through it.
Republicans are just fucking stupid.
That’s a feature not a bug
Rep. Andy Ogles (R, Tenn.) posted on X on Monday evening a letter addressed to the House Energy and Commerce Committee in which he called for an immediate inquiry into the National Football League and broadcaster NBCUniversal over their “prior knowledge, review, and approval” of what he alleged to be “a performance dominated by sexually explicit lyrical themes and suggestive choreography.”
Oh yeah. Based on the phrasing… This is projection.
Check this guy’s laptop.
I mean. They already had nipplegate. Was that investigated?
Indeed. They have concluded it was a nipple.
This same guy probably has no problem getting freaky with anyone.
I love all the people scrambling to come up with some reason other than racism that the halftime show was bad because literally everything else they’re criticizing also applies to every ither halftime show in the past 30 years
Plus that was wholesome AF for a halftime show. It preemptively hit on so many potential criticisms that racism or prudishness are about the only two reasons left to criticize it.
