I guess if you think about it, this may be the beginning of the end for segregated sports of all kinds. For some reason, even with the advance of technology through the millennia, enabling mankind to perform all kinds of amazing human feats, people still marvel at the ability of the human body to perform at the most basic skills; running, swimming, throwing a spear etc. In fact, every 4 years, the world spends truckloads of money in celebration of these skills by having some city host the Olympic games. It’s as if people have the primal need to find out which humans are the most animal-like in their abilities.
Sure it’s a feather in your cap to boast that you’re the world’s fastest or strongest or most accurate spear thrower, but…so what? Ultimately the end game is to convert this ‘skill’ into some kind of financial reward and these days, those rewards can be handsome indeed. But if there’s a quest to determine who’s the ‘best’ at a given feat, what point is there in attaching an asterisk to the accomplishment? Why have categories for men and women? Deny it as many progressives will, the best female athletes are the ones that most resemble males. No one who looks like Kate Upton is going to be good in the 200 kilo deadlift. So if that’s the case, why even have those divisions? Why not just have the strongest/fastest/most accurate….period.
Otherwise, the accolades are just participation awards. We may as well have contests for only red heads, or only Asians, or only people whom are left handed. By the same token, we may as well eliminate the filters for beauty contests. There are some homely women out there and some comely guys, (once the hair is removed from the appropriate spots). Just hold contests for most beautiful American or Brazilian or whatever the case may be. Pragmatically, this makes everything in life easier to administer. Without all the different categories of people, fewer contests of any kind need to be held. We’ve already moved towards unisex washrooms, so the preliminaries are in place. The Olympics need only last about 2 days. In fact, the five ringed logo for the Olympic games will be replaced by something more representative of the new format; an amoeba.

It’s not often that I’ll agree with a guy like Snoop Dogg. Here’s a guy whose entire success in life is due to his glorification of the black thug life existence, bemoaning the popular media’s fascination with the black slave experience of well over a hundred and fifty years ago. Ironically, if he wasn’t black, he wouldn’t have anywhere near the kind of notoriety and fame that he’s achieved in life. A dope smoking musician who runs afoul of the law; he’d be just another Willie Nelson without the nasal twang. It happens that he is black and his hedonistic lifestyle is appealing to kids that identify with him.
But his essential point is valid and that is; enough of the moaning and chest beating. That period in American history when slavery was policy is well past. It has been documented, dramatized and institutionalized through commemorations of all kinds with reverence properly paid to the progenators of change. Why continue to recycle the past as if picking at old scabs? The answer lies partially in money. There’s plenty of money to be made in continuing to push the narrative of a racially divided country through media sales in video and music. In fact, to this day, many popular black rooted musicians play the race card during performances supposedly as a solidarity gesture towards their roots. They pander to their audiences. As far as I know, this is unique to black artists. I’m sure Bono never pushes his Irish bona fides at his concerts, nor Blake Shelton condoning ‘go whitey’ at his gigs. Andrea Bocelli has never shouted ‘go blind people!’ at his concerts.
Dogg is correct. The media powers that market entertainment have an agenda in creating products for a balkanized market. If you observe the offerings on cable and TV networks today, you can easily see this mindset in play. The Kardashian phenomenon continues to swoop in that constituency of vapid people who just can’t seem to get enough of that family’s grotesque lives. From Duck Dynasty to The Bachelor, The Bachelorette, Big Brother and all of those dumbass derivative shows, media honchos will push whatever sells… the lower the common denominator, the better.
Society is lucky that in general, Jewish and Chinese mothers don’t have marketable music talent. You’d never hear the end of moaning and tales of woe then.
