Diddy Case Says More About Our Culture Than His Perversions
Derek Hunter
What the hell is wrong with people? If you felt compelled to cheer the “not guilty” verdicts against Diddy, there’s something wrong with you. There’s something wrong with a lot of people, as morons reportedly poured baby oil over themselves outside the courtroom as the verdict was read, demonstrating that our culture is in an endless, accelerating cycle of rot.
There is no reason for you to have ever heard the name Karen Read, unless you know her. But you probably don’t know her, yet you have heard her name. She ran over her fiancé and killed him, maybe she was drunk, maybe she wasn’t, I didn’t follow it that closely.
I also couldn’t escape it because the media covered her trials like she was a celebrity because she was an attractive white woman, and attractive white women being involved in murder cases (victim or perp) gets almost as much media attention as a celebrity and slightly more attention than a minority having a conflict with a police officer. In other words, the hierarchy of media concern is: 1) celebrities, 2) attractive white women, 3) minority victim vs police of any configuration, 4) nothing – there is no 4, nothing else matters because it doesn’t rate.
It's a sickness in society, a perversion of our culture that celebrity is so “big,” but more than that we have completely obliterated the line between famous and infamous. One used to be something to aspire to, the other a cautionary tale. Now there is no difference.
