Recently, Geraldo Rivera said that Kendrick Lamar’s performance during the BET Awards sent the “wrong message.” Because, protesting police brutality, despite a sh*t ton of evidence, makes him uncomfortable.
This sort of rhetoric isn’t shocking if your familiar with Geraldo and his divisive, FOX News worthy shtick of race trolling. Back in February, his diarrhea of the mouth included saying Hip-Hop has ruined more Black lives than racism.
It’s typical of Geraldo and his cronies to blame the victims for their predicament. But let’s look at Geraldo Rivera’s track record, shall we? From what we gather, it is Mr. Rivera who has been more damaging to social media etiquette, journalism and humanity overall than Hip-Hop could ever be.
Let’s start here…

Bad Hood Logic
According to Geraldo, wearing hoodies will get Black kids killed—this is what he said back 2012 when Trayvon Martin’s murder was all over the news. Don’t you mean the cops and neighborhood watchers with racist sentiments will kill Black kids, no matter what they have on, Geraldo?
My Name Is My Name A Fraud
Geraldo was actually born Gerald Michael Rivera to a Puerto Rican dad and a Russian Jewish mother. However, he wanted a mother “ethnic” name when he came a reporter and figured “Geraldo” is how the Hispanic side of family pronounced it. Oh.

More Stupid Commentary
According to Geraldo, “There’s too much in the minority culture, the embrace of the thug ethic. No belt, so your pants are down around your butt. Or remember how much trouble I got in about the hoodies? But the point is if you want to embrace that failure, you will be a failure and your children will be a failure.”
Go home bruh, you’re drunk.
Catch The Fade On Camera
Let’s not forget the time Geraldo caught a 2 piece and biscuit (and a broken nose) on his own talk show after bringing skinheads to your television. So “trash TV”…thank Geraldo.
That Mustache
It’s 2015 and this guy is still out here with his bootleg Magnum P.I. level struggle mustache. We’re being petty, but oh well.

Poor Fact Checking
Remember back in he day when Geraldo made this huge deal about finally getting in Al Capone’s vault, and that bad boy was empty—except for a Stop sign and some empty bottles. It’s kind of like a metaphor for his career.
