Bad Bunny and White Jesus

 I was asked today about this past weekend's viewing habits.

"Did you watch the Super Bowl?"

"No."

"WHATTTTT???"

"No. I'm not interested in football."

"Well who did you want to win?"

"I didn't care. I didn't even know who was playing until the game was on."

"Well. My Seahawks WON!! I prayed and prayed and they won!!"

"I see. I know lots of families watched the game, I just am not a football fan."

A moment's thought, then,
"Did you watch the halftime show?"

"I did." (I waited until today and looked it up online, mostly muted it, I don't like rap, but I was interested in the story) 
"Bad Bunny. I read about it, too, so I could understand what he said and what it was about."

::shocked Pikachu face:::

"What??!! It was VERY inappropriate!! My family didn't watch that, we watched the Christian halftime show!"

This was said with an incredibly superior air.

Of course I had to ask.

"What was the Christian halftime show?"

"Oh, it was Kid Rock! We don't allow bad things on our television!"

I didn't say anything. Nope. 
But considering some of the garbage that has spewed from that particular artist, I'm going to say that he's not a Christian, at least not one that fits any definition of one that I've ever heard.

I won't post lyrics to any of his crap (you can't spell crap without r-a-p) but if you don't mind being disgusted and grossed out, you can look up Cool Daddy Cool. 


And the performance from Bad Bunny wasn't anything I liked, either. Just not my thing.

I appreciated getting the meaning of the story, and there was a lot of history and things I didn't know, but in case you missed it (haha) I don't like rap, I'm uninterested in seeing a bunch of crotch-grabbing and had little interest beyond curiosity over what all the hype was about. It was a smooth production, and if you like that sort of thing, was well done.

But I was struck by the child's disgust over perceived wrongness in the performance of Bad Bunny (that she didn't even watch) and her unquestioning acceptance of another rap performer who isn't much different.

Except of course Bad Bunny has brown skin.

Once again I really dislike the indoctrination of children into religion. 
Any religion, not just Christianity.
But specifically, white Jesus.
If he existed, he wasn't a white man with long, silky hair and bassett hound eyes. He just wasn't.

Chances are good that particular child will learn to question things, and sooner rather than later, she's pretty smart.

I recall so many instances of growing up with my own sanctimommy and her long, long list of things I wasn't allowed to read or think about or talk about as I grew up. She's still convinced that her religion is the only religion and that pretty much everyone else is going to hell.

I was fully indoctrinated and immersed in religion through my formative years, too.

Which team wins is very important to White Jesus!!
