Aging Rapper Eminem Takes a Knee at Super Bowl Half-Time Show

This year’s Super Bowl half-time show was a late nineties/early aughts throwback featuring a number of  rappers whose biggest musical hits are twenty years old. Perhaps to stay relevant, one of those rappers, Eminem, took a knee during his performance.

The rapper who once sang, ”All the girls I like to bone have big butts/ No they don’t, ’cause I don’t like that n—– sh–/ I’m just here to make a bigger hit” and ”Blacks and whites, they sometimes mix/ But black girls only want your money, ’cause they’re dumb chicks” is now ready to fight for racial justice!

Left-wing media from NPR to Yahoo said Eminem’s knee moment was done in solidary with Colin Kaepernick. It is no longer appropriate to say it was done in solidarity with Black Lives Matter, (BLM), now that the terrorist domestic organization has taken corporate shakedown money and fled.

Sports Illustrated raved about Eminem’s actions in a now-deleted Twitter post that included a power symbol hand-fist emoji. The magazine used a white hand emoji which I think goes against the rules of the woke gods, but I can’t keep up.

Matt Walsh noted the ridiculousness of Eminem’s woke virtue-signaling after the singer spent his youth rapping about murdering homosexuals in a quote retweet of the SINow deleted tweet. 

Eminem wrote, “These are the payments Eminem has to keep making the woke gods in order that they don’t notice he spent his first ten year of his career singing about the killing homosexual people.”

According to Post Millennial, the rapper planned to sit down during Super Bowl’s halftime but was shot by the NFL.

Eminem made it happen anyway. But that doesn’t make him any more courageous. The middle-aged rapper faces no risks in towing the contemporary left’s cultural line. Authentic cultural risk-taking can cause financial and professional loss, such as Enes Kanter Freedom getting cut from the NBA for speaking out against Chinese Communist Party genocide – Kanter, unlike Colin Kaepernick, will receive no multi-million deals from the corporate oligarchy for his actions.

Eminem’s most successful days are long behind him. If anything, taking a knee gives the has-been a brief moment of old attention. Sad.
