Meet the Rapper Who's Topping the Charts and Appearing on Fox News

Tom MacDonald is a young Canadian rapper fearlessly coming to dominate that musical genre. His recent single titled "Fake Woke"
reached #1 on the All-Genre U.S. iTunes sales chart. His
accompanying video has been viewed more than 10 million times on YouTube. The song is a four-minute-long rollercoaster ride of politically incorrect common sense, delivered rapid-fire with lines like "Facts don't care about your feelings" and "There's a difference between hate speech and speech that you hate." Who can argue with such truths?
White liberals, that's who.
To be brutally honest, discovering that a white sixty-year-old grandfather can actually enjoy listening to rap music was a bit of a culture shock. Ever since the genre first became popular, I've held the same
low opinion of rap music as Bruce Willis in the otherwise forgettable movie
The Last Boy Scout — it made me want to scream in pain. It was never the music as much as the messages being conveyed, which glamorized prostitution, gang violence, demeaning attitudes toward women, and drug use. It seemed to be a rule to include gratuitous use of the "N"-word, presumably to make the bars (what lyrics are called in rap music) as offensive as possible
and potentially get white fans of the music into trouble with the cancel culture if they make the mistake of singing along with the song.
It's okay if Snoop Dogg says it, and it's even okay if a blue-checked white liberal like Eminem or Quentin Tarantino says the "N"-word, but if a fifteen-year-old white girl makes the mistake of simply repeating what Snoop said, she can easily have her future destroyed by the cancel culture if someone happens to record her in the act and post the video on the internet. If liberals didn't have double-standards, they wouldn't have any standards at all.
