It's An Outrage That 'It's Hard Out Here For A Pimp' Won An Oscar

Three 6 Mafia, a posse of rappers, won the Academy Award for best original song from a motion picture.
"It's Hard Out Here for a Pimp" is an expletive-laden ditty that seeks to ellicit sympathy for the hardships faced by a pimp.
I don't have an ounce of sympathy for loathsome creatures who enslave women, so they can live a life of luxury and comfort.
The subject matter of this song may seem outrageous, but it's not out of context in a film, "Hustle & Flow", about a pimp.
However, a song that could have been written by a 6-year old afflicted with Tourettes Syndrome is a very poor choice as the best original song from a motion picture.
Three 6 Mafia, performed their original composition at the Oscars, all thugged out with enough jewelry in their teeth to stock a jewelry store, while idiots dressed as pimps and ho's danced around them.
This Minstrel Show portraying African Americans as pimps and ho's was warmly received by the liberal Hollywood audience.
Once again African American rappers with no respect for anything but the Almighty dollar "shuck and jive" for the entertainment of a mostly white audience.
Why do rappers celebrate and glorify the worst aspects of African American culture? Why not pen a song entitled, "It's Hard Out Here for an Honest Black Man Trying To Make Ends Meet"?
The composers of Oscar winning songs like Evergreen, I Just Called To Say I Love You, The Way We Were and Raindrops Keep Fallin' On My Head --must be seething in anger and disgust.
And hopefully honest, tax-paying African Americans will become so disgusted with Uncle Tom rappers like 50 Cent and Three 6 Mafia, that they will finally speak out in protest.
