The 2 things have been on the news this week, thankfully not much about Tiger...but it’s been about Ricky Martin coming out of the closet and Erikah Badu’s video.

The first one was not a surprise to anyone, right? we all knew...I mean come on!
This whole Badu thing has got local TV and Radio in an uproar, I don’t know if the rest of the country thinks it’s as scandalous.

My humble opinion is that it is crass, disrespectful and very wrong. Art...it was all in the name of Art and meant to get people talking about something(what??).
Let’s forget about the fact that a President of this country was shot and killed on that very spot, let’s just pretend it was someone’s relative and an average Joe, wouldn’t his family be appalled and hurt? wouldn’t most people have a problem with someone laying naked on the X that marks their murder?

WTH is wrong with people who think that was O.K?
This is not about politics, race or anything else. It was done to get publicity and make money.

I wonder if any thought was given to the family, which has suffered more tragic losses than any single family in the spotlight. Would Miss Badu like to explain her “ART” to the President’s only surviving child? his grandchildren?
It’s just shameful, and it makes me angry..and quote the words of “old” people when I was a kid “What is this world coming to?”

R-E-S-P-E-C-T where has it gone?
