I feel like the way most people treat this culture is fairly bigoted. "musical herpes"?

But to be completely honest, Cardi B does sound like she flunked English class. Though, so did George Bush.

I'd think he was racist, obv. If he were blatantly saying that a black person is half literate. But again, I didn't see any mention of race in this thread until you posted in it. So yeah, you are making an assumption that you like to throw around as concrete evidence. Doesn't work that way.

You can weasel out all you want but you can clearly see it in your reply to his OP that you were assuming he was being racist with no evidence to prove your claim.

It comes off kinda like that to me too.

Well there we go. Adidasss is clearly aracistasss.

I guess I'm wrong then. I'll take that.

And I called it that because the album cover looks terrible. Reminds me of gems like these:

Oof. All of these make my stomach churn.

I don't know about you, but I generally don't have my hopes up about the music when the album cover is awful.

Wal-Mart glamour shots with glittery text or nil, ey?

Nice try but missed, bro.

Saying that poc are half-literate and calling them retarded for using AAVE is indeed a racist look.

who is calling anyone retarded for using African American vernacular English?

I can't wait until I log in again tomorrow and this has turned into a real dumpster fire.

Let's try a rephrase:

Racist people commonly point to the use of AAVE to call poc illiterate/stupid/inferior.

I am because I hate black people.

"I hate black people, therefore I am"

OMG how are you still a mod?!!!1!

I love me some ebonics even if I'm still a stuck up white *******. I grew up in a middle class family who truck with no ebonics but after a decade of working with largely poor black people I can switch between "proper" English and hood talk at the drop of a hat and generally do it automatically depending on the situation. TBH I very much prefer less formal ebonics. It's more fun, colorful, satisfying, and fits with my tendency for constant profanity, and feels less like I'm trying to show everyone around me how smart I am.

Anyone who hates on it can suck my ass.

It's a shame what this thread has turned into.

Yes can we please take these rap beefs seriously

Fluff just thinks electing Obama ended racism.

:laughing:

EDIT: WWWP was being funny, not Batty.

Ja, let's get back on track.

Nicki and Cardi are such retards. Point and laugh, children! Point and laugh!

Fluff thinks Adidas and Mic are good guys and haven't said anything racist.

Mike's good to go when it comes to racism.

As long as you're being consistent and don't laugh at these guys either

But I'm actually down with the idea of just being all round nicer.

Thank god we got smart chicks like GaGa and Katy Perry.

I laugh at them because they elevate ebonics to an idiotic art.

And Miley Cyrus.

"why they put the dick in the pussy?"

I mean this genuinely and not in an ******* way but it's actually pretty difficult for me to take discussions about racism and anti-black sentiment seriously with non Americans.

I wonder who has done more harm to the Cyrus family name? Her or her father?

That's right, bitches! Ain't no one topping our racism. USA! USA! USA!

I don't pretend to know what it's like over there. I only see the apparent touchiness about race from afar and kinda only halfway understand it.

There's not really a Danish equivalent.

*menstruates on flag*

I'm not sure what you mean but thanks/screw you (depending on how you mean it. I've got to cover my bases).

I mean I don't know the ins and outs of racism against African immigrants in Europe but as far as non-Americans talking about African American issues yeah I don't know how you could have a real opinion if you hadn't been raised here or lived here. How the **** can you speak intelligently about ebonics if you have no familiarity with it beyond hip hop?

Imagine that European imperialism happened in your country and the victims were your neighbors who didn't even know of their roots because they'd been given European names and their cultures and religions had been wiped out.

.

I've read the OP over and over and still I don't see anything that could be classified as racist. Maybe a fair bit demeaning to their knowledge of literacy but nothing racist as far as I can tell. The discussion about race only came up when Frown mentioned it.

I mean, I wasn't really expecting there not to be a flame war but I was expecting Frown to be the start of it.

You know what? You're right. Exclusively viewing the black community as idiots because of how they talk and jeering at them could never be racist.

Now everyone, point and laugh at the retards who don't know how to talk right!

*correctly

Does Adidas actually view the black community as idiots or did you just pull that out of your arse?

He said two average at best rappers (who happen to be black) are half literate. Nothing about race there.

Yes. Seems to be his go to for every culture that's not Eurocentric. Just look at his racist tirade that he made against Malaysians about a month ago for evidence.

Whatever, snowflakes, just bc you dont understand microaggressions and how things can be racist without explicitly declaring an intent of racism doesnt mean it's not happening *shrug*

But just bc frown called it out it must be a flame war.

He didn't mention race. You did.
