$25,000 public dollars to honor a rap thug. He is a wonderful role model for our youth, if you want our youth to end up dead early or in prison. Find a black veteran, or teacher, or police officer, or EMT, or business man, someone who really contributed something to our community. They are the ones we should be honoring.
Just what Tallahassee youth need to idolize – constant drug use/sale references, women talked about and used like whores, “consequence-free” sex glorified, gun violence, anarchy, hatred of law enforcement, abuse of women and neglect of children, lack of parental responsibility, narcissistic adoration, immediate gratification, and sociopathic all-that-matters-is-what-I-want and everything-wrong-in-my-life-is-someone-else’s-fault.
Y’all throw away all of this money trying to “figure out” why gangs, violence, murder, assault, rape, robbery, and drugs are so prevalent in Tallahassee and the surrounding county, and then you throw away money to showcase and celebrate those who target these same youths with music which promotes, idolizes, and “normalizes” every bit of it.
Shame on everyone involved in this “transaction.” Your hands are stained with the tears and the blood of these children.
Talk about sending mixed messages. Sheer idiocy.
Why isn’t a private entity sponsoring T-Pain and why is this being paid by taxpayer dollars? This shows the mismanagement and fiscal irresponsibility, also, the lack of due diligence on the commissioners and county not being able to engage a private entity to sponsor an event. Amazon, Premier, Chamber of Commerce, etc?
Go back to 1973 and see there wasn’t any hip-hop. Unless you count Jungle Boogie by Kool and the Gang.
Of course it doesn’t matter. Any reason to throw money at the black community. Progressives know no limit to tax and spend policies. The community would be better off taking the $25K and preparing for the damage all the terrorist Joe Biden let walk into our Country are waiting for Hamas to give the go-ahead to do.
Yes, our Country has Terrorist living here, getting free money and cellphones all compliments of Biden and his fellow progressive politicians.
25k for T-pain but no money for a Veterans Day Parade. And people scratch their heads trying to finger out what is wrong with Tallahassee. I gotta get out of here…
$25k, huh? Glad the County has so much extra money….
