If you hear the term "half-literate" and choose to associate it with black people, that makes YOU the racist.

LAME RETORT: "But he was TALKING about people that are black."

Yes, but he never once mentioned their ethnicities. He criticized their lack of verbal aptitude, which is found in all races, unfortunately.

Except Nicki Minaj doesn't have a 'lack of verbal aptitude' and has never given anybody any reason to think she's half literate.

If you really want to break it down...

Hey look, I was absolutely ****ing right in guessing that English is her second language. So her trouble with speaking english isn't from an inability to read, it comes from it being a second language.

And guess what? She also speaks fluently in french! So **** out of here with your bigoted bull**** calling her half literate for speaking broken English when she's completely literate in 3 different languages.

All I'm interested in is if there's any direct way in which Addidas' original statement gives any direct reason why he sees the two ladies as being half-literate. Seems clear as day to me that it doesn't, so we're down to making assumptions, which I'd rather not do.

For that matter, when people say over the top stuff online, you'd tend to think they're not being entirely serious, right? Isn't it to take Addidas' original statement in bad faith to assume that he really means it dead seriously when he calls them half-literate. In most contexts that have to do with ranting on the internet, I'd assume that a level headed, serious take from the same person would be very different and much milder.

I think he was referring to audio/video of them arguing, not necessarily their music.

This is why you come off as a Frown d*ck rider. You write off his bad behavior as benevolent.

No? But you support Frown for doing so.

Also, I find it funny that adidasss, who started this thread, has been virtually silent in it.
