Snoop Dogg has found himself on the wrong side of the law at an airport for the second time in a month.

This time it was a weapons charge related to an incident in September where he was found in possession of a collapsible baton. Snoop is claiming it was a prop for a music video, but I find that hard to believe.

That being said, it’s doubtful that he’ll face actual jail time for either incident. He’ll probably get probation and have to film a public service announcement or face some other kind of community service.

The real problem he’s facing is that he’s getting a reputation with airport security that’s going to mean extra scrutiny every time he travels. These last two incidents are in addition to previous problems which have already led to him being banned from British Airways flights.

Since 9/11, airport security’s tolerance for misbehavior of any kind has diminished rapidly and it seems that they are keeping a special eye out for Snoop Dogg and his traveling entourage. If he doesn’t change his approach to air travel, he may well find himself having no choice but to take the bus instead…

In a “Duh” moment for law enforcement, Snoop Dogg was arrested for suspicion of illegal drug and gun possession.

The only real question here is: Why now? The name Snoop Dogg is virtually synonomous with smoking marijuana and has been for more than a decade. Every song, every appearance, virtually every other word out of his mouth is all about smoking weed. He is rarely without his ubiquitous blunt, but all of a sudden he gets arrested for it.

I’m not saying he should get special treatment for doing something that you or I would have been locked up for long ago, I just want to know why they let it slide for so long and now want to do something about it all of a sudden. I can only guess that there was some kind of dust-up between him and his people and the law enforcement that showed up to tell him not to park his car in the loading zone. Maybe they should have just apologized for the mistake and moved the car…

MTV2 aired a cartoon, “Where My Dogs At?,” which satirized Snoop Dogg parading around with women on leashes, and all of a sudden black “leaders” are all up in arms about it.

This isn’t new. Snoop Dogg, and rappers in general, have been criticized in many circles for their misogynistic and demeaning lyrics and behavior for years. There’s no real debate among objective observers that the lyrics and behavior are exactly that. The defense has always been that they’re “keeping it real” and that everyone other than blacks just doesn’t understand how it’s OK for them to treat and portray women that way. And for just as many years, these very same black “leaders” have been completely silent about it.

So Viacom airs an episode which satirizes this real-life behavior, and now it’s “misogynist, racist and crude”? Huh? Who are the racists here?

The answer is plainly obvious: it’s the “prominent African-Americans” who are the cowards and the racists here. They’re cowardly because they know that if they criticize Snoop Dogg, who is hugely popular - especially amongst younger rank-and-file blacks, they will alienate their own base and call to task a member of their own race - whether it’s Snoop Dogg or anyone else. But because they are also black, they are immune from criticism. So the “leaders” can’t do that: it would require actual moral conviction and courage. Neither of which they have.

So who do they pick? Viacom, because there’s a chance they can extort a “donation” or some sort of other concession from Viacom’s deep pockets to avoid being seen as racist. Instead of identifying and trying to solve a huge and growing problem within their own ethnic community, they level baseless charges against those of other races in order to perpetuate the politics and emotions of racial division from which they make their bread and butter. It’s this kind of baseless hate-mongering that encourages racial division and prejudice. To what end? To line the pockets of an elite few “prominent African-Americans” whose only real interest is exploiting race for profit and power.

Attention “prominent African-Americans”: if you have a problem with Snoop Dogg’s misogyny, take it up with him and rappers like him and leave Viacom out of it. Otherwise, you’re just blatantly playing the race card for your own enrichment, and I’m calling your bluff…
