i'm not racist! look! i even have a black friend i can't be racist now.

This^

that's something almost every racist in denial will say.

? wait what?
i actually like k'naan i have him on my ipod... somalia is one of my favorite songs, i don't care if he's black or not his music is good

and what does me not liking most rap have to do with racism?

nothing, i was just making a comment using the same line of logic.

lotsa arguing going on here today...

everyone who can see is atleast a little racist, no matter how much we try to deny it even to ourselves. society is organization we have an instinct to label, debate, and talk without absolutely knowing what we're saying it's a simple and pathetic part of being human.

I'm not a racist, though I have no black friends.

Am I a racist in denial?

No, you're not in denial.

I've been waiting to bust that out in a conversation for a while. :D

In a related note and on topic to the thread, I've been realizing recently that I can actually sing a LOT of showtunes.

I suddenly realised something a couple of days ago.

When listening to Math Rock I have absolutely no idea what I'm listening to that makes it Math Rock.
I understand the concept about what it is if I was to read about it, but i'm fucked if I can hear it in the music.

That's my secret confession for today.
