To Believe or Not to Believe????

Ok so I had a whole bunch of vapid celebrity news and candid photos that I was gonna post on but my conscience won't let me do it. I have to speak if for no other reason than that most believe people my age, people of my generation, are somehow blind and stupid to the things that go on. And I 'm here to tell them that we're not!

So I was on one of my favorite bloggers sites, (she's on of the people I aspire to be like someday) Necole Bitchie, one of the most popular urban pop culture and gossip blogs there is and I got a glimpse of what is to be Kanye's new video for his forthcoming single "Power".



Now I must warn you before you watch it there are parts of it that disturbed me and partial nudity. *sigh* I have wonder when an artist such as Kanye feels as if they are gonna come out with a video that it must be so suggestive. Knowing what I know about the music industry I doubt he had any control at ALL on these images and if he did he wasn't the final say, ergo his absence from the making of the film.

There's a heated discussion going on within the industry and with us the buying public about how much is too much with the dark images that have seem to as of late inundate pop culture. I feel that when something occurs with consistent regularity it can no longer be called coincidence or an "accident". There is very common and scary theme of devil worship, evil and occult spirits in these videos. How many can look at the images this director has created and not see the religious and spiritual connotations. I am not one who damns everything that is not Christian as somehow blasphemous, nor do I endorse that all occult practices are somehow evil in nature, but THIS IS! And so is this......



and a slew of other "artistic" videos featuring devils horns, and contorted evil imagery. If it's "just an image" why not choose a good one, a happy one, a peaceful one. Am I supposed to believe that these things have nothing to do with each other? What do you believe? I am an educated and informed person who knows better than to just consume blindly anything given to me ( no matter the source) but my thirteen year old sister is not. Neither are the countless other YOUNG IMPRESSIONABLE MINDS out there. If anything, don't be ignorant in your consumption. Inform yourself and inform others. Explain what things mean and sometimes just sometimes...you got to turn the damn thing off. No matter how much you like the beat.
