Right wing talk show host Rush Limbaugh has come to the defense of rapper Shawty Lo, after his controversial show “All My Babies’ Mamas” was canceled by the Oxygen TV.
Reports AllHipHop:
Rush Limbaugh “All My Babies’ Mamas,” claiming that the “morality police” were at work, for attempting to define what a “normal” family unit is in the United States.
“The morality police, the old fuddy-duddies got in gear. The show was simply gonna say what it is in terms of this lifestyle and just gonna tell everybody what it is,” Rush Limbaugh said on his talk show today.
“Is it any wonder that the star of a show that happens to be black and has the show pulled out from under him?” Limbaugh asked. “Well, I know none of those kids are more important than the president’s kids, but they’re important to Shawty.”
After flip-flopping on a final decision, Oxygen TV decided to pull the plug on the show on Tuesday (January 15), due to pressure from various rights organizations.
“As part of our development process, we have reviewed casting and decided not to move forward with the special,” spokesperson told MTV News in a statement on Tuesday (January 15). “We will continue to develop compelling content that resonates with our young female viewers and drives the cultural conversation.”.
ColorofChange.org released a statement praising Oxygen TV’s decision to cancel “All My Babies’ Mamas,” after a petition protesting the show garnered more than 40,000 signatures.
“We thank Oxygen Media for taking this important step. The tremendous response from over 40,000 ColorOfChange.org members, coupled with national outrage from Black folks, sent a clear message that exploitative television shows like ‘All My Babies’ Mamas’ are unacceptable,” the organization said in a statement.
Rush Limbaugh defended Shawty Lo’s family and blasted ColorOfChange.org for the insulting the rapper’s family structure.
“So we were going to expand the definition of a family to include whatever people wanted it to be,” Rush Limbaugh fumed. “Shawty just sharing the love. Shawty just sharing all of his love with ten women and 11 babies. It was a show of love and devotion, how Shawty provides for all, and it’s being ripped right out from under him. I mean, who says that this is a marginalized existence?”
I see said the blind man. And now…
This is EbenGregory.com…telling you if Rush’s Limpball’s co-sign doesn’t tell you this show is a mockery, nothing will.
The bottom line is that we’ve failed ourselves. 25 years ago today The Cosby Show reigned as the #1 show. Where we actually absorbed some sort of morale at the end of an episode. This and many other reality catastrophies are what shape most adults minds and more importantly the minds of the youth. This can’t be life people. But that’s just my 2 cents. *exits to go back to writing his paper on medical ethics* Hittin these books hard. I’m tryin to get on that Eben Gregory teir of stronger.
Rush and Shawty should have a reality show. On Mars. Where there is no air. No people. And it’s 300 degrees below zero at night.
Funny.
I wasent to impressed about Shawty Lo bein on reality tv anyway. Fucc Rush and colorofassholes. Theres plenty of minorty shows that should of been protested against. Starting with flavor of love. Ending with Bad hoes club and hoesketball wives. All disgraceful shows to our black people. But thats wut niggaz like…
But u dont hear me doe… (eben gregory voice)
Tell it! People accepting to be dumbed down…
I’m surprised, but he really just wanted to see a black man make a fool of himself on TV, Pimp C @GlobalHHB
Damn, she kirked lls
Take me off your fucking mailing list if I can’t post… FOOL…
Playgirl…your comments went to spam, but I took care of that. And I’ll disregard your last comment. Luv.
SORRY!!!!
Is there a word count on post because I’ve yet to see any of my post show up…
I was against it when I first heard about the show but as I read through your article on RUSH… It made me think about how BLACKS want equality yet WE put limitations and rules and regulations on ourselves. YES, I think it’s disgusting to have 10 baby mommas but I also think HUGH HEFNER is the BIGGEST PIMP in the world and nobody shuns him. The same holds true for those people in the mid-west that think having multiple WIVES is ok. If we ever truly want equality in AMERICA we need to recognize and accept that JACK ASSES come in ALL races and we can’t hide all we can do is accept it or ignore it…
Tell it! as for me —-> IGNORED
Rush work for the others and is definitely co-signing the promotion of ignorance amongst minorities… Could you imagine that (quote – unquote) “Lifestyle” being an example of something your kids might grow up and say they want to do! ? Who is your Rolemodel… “Rich Dollaz” !? [Yikes!]
This show aint a mockery it is about Shawty Lo baby mamas, I think it should air. its look a lot better then these other shows on the air
