Comments anyone?

 
I'M A PIMP, NOT A HOLE
Lool this dont apply to me cuz i am not a "nigga". And any1 getting offended should first know:
1. This is just a rough ridin' song.
2. She is calling you a nigga and you are responding back like the bitch you are by calling her a bitch on the INTERNET thinking she going to feel bad.
3. If you believe the word is a term of endearment then you truly are a ignorant "nigga" and you deserve to get slapped by this song.
 
Emma AnnabelJay
I get what she saying! She talking abt these lame ass fake ass niggas out here! I like this song! Don't hate cuz u can't relate boom!

Antonio Johnson
says the woman who goes around calling other women a stupid hoe! How Ironic, she talks about lookin ass niggas yet stay up under lil Wayne's dick all day, knowing he got baby mammas and multiple drug charges against him. yet this bitch brought him a car for his birthday.

I so glad you asked.  Didn't MIR question you about why you make fun of your own race.  Is there Indian bands with songs that make fun of themselves or put them down.

Also, here's a racist white song:

There could be.

Wouldn't bother me. 

I always get the feeling that people who complain about black people using the N word are just wanting to condone their own hateful use of the word. Would that be you Katdaddy?

If you wanna use it to clown around and recite black comedy I'm sure most people won't mind as long as your timing and context are appropriate.

Maybe I am in the minority, but.....no. I don't know when the last time I used the word, but the few times I recall hearing somebody try to say it in humorous context, everybody gets very uncomfortable and changes the subject.

Your Honor, Honkey Trim is representing me and Cracker Limestone is expressing the view that Redneck Katdaddy is not a RACIST.  As long as I'm the same race as them, I can get away with calling them anything I want and not be a RACIST.  Case solved.

I can tell a lot of you are confused as to what I'm getting at.  Just that when you call people of your own race names, you don't respect who you are and no one else.  That's RACISM, boy.  To define:
a belief or doctrine that inherent differences among the various human races determine cultural or individual achievement, usually involving the idea that one's better than another.

Post by: SdK on February 17, 2014, 07:48:40 PM
Sometimes, Katdaddy, there are things that we don't understand. Sometimes those things are controversial. Sometimes we have to realize that what we don't understand isn't worth debating in an open forum. This especially holds true when the thing you don't understand isn't very substantial on the whole and the further you try to explain your point, the further you push yourself toward the negative side of the controversy.

Title: Re: Racist?!?! I'm confused.
Post by: SdK on February 17, 2014, 07:58:50 PM
It's like even if your'e right KD, what's the point? What is gained by you pointing this out? What is your endgame? Just to say that it's racist? Congratulations, you've done that. When you keep going with it it makes it look like you have another motive to bringing it up in the first place. When the subject is racism, it makes it appear like you are trying to justify some of your own racist actions or to say that racist actions aren't actually racist at all because other people are racist. Which is stupid.

I met a lady for the first time at the mall in Topeka once. She said she was a little uncomfortable. I asked why. She said there were a lot of Hispanic people there. I agreed there were. I asked why that made her uncomfortable. She said that she wasn't racist (of course) but she had had a bad experience with some Hispanic people once. I said well I hope you never have a bad experience with a white person, because that would make your life unbearable. She said hmmmmmmmmmmm you're right. I was like....I know.

Hey LSOC, I just put those songs out randomly to get a conversation about how disgusting it is to be called something derogatory; weather it's from a person of the same race or not.  Judging from the reaction of the following posts I could see it rallied the goEMAW crowd.   But it doesn't seem anyone really wants to talk about it.  So like a bunch of want-a-be PC do-gooders, it is easier to call me a racist, than talk about racism.

katdaddy, when you're using youtube comments on a Nikki Minaj video to make a point about racism, you aren't ready to engage in a serious discussion. If you genuinely want to talk about racism seriously, I'd suggest reading a book or two on race relations in the US first. Here are some examples:

Even the NFL feels it.

The NFL is working toward banning the use of racial slurs during games, particularly the N-word. The proposal has drawn mixed reaction from current players. On Monday, Richard Sherman told Sports Illustrated’s Peter King that he would be extremely opposed to the rule.

“It’s an atrocious idea,” Sherman said. “It’s almost racist, to me. It’s weird they’re targeting one specific word. Why wouldn’t all curse words be banned then?”

I don’t know about all curse words, but I agree with Sherman that only banning the N-word and not other racial slurs would not make sense. What I don’t agree with is his assertion that pronouncing the “-er” at the end of the word is what makes it racist. Sherman said that finishing the word with “-a” is not disrespectful when used among African-American players.

“It’s in the locker room and on the field at all times,” he added. “I hear it almost every series out there on the field.”

So calling someone a thug is the equivalent of using the N-word but pronouncing it with an “-a” on the end makes it a different word altogether? Come on now.

King also asked two other African-American for their opinion on the impending rule. Tennessee Titans cornerback Jason McCourty agreed with Sherman, saying the N-word is so common that it’s the equivalent of calling someone “bro” or “man.” Free agent linebacker D’Qwell Jackson disagreed.

“Ultimately, if the NFL can get it done, it’s great for our game. But I think refs have a hard enough time officiating the game now,” Jackson said. “Now they’d be asked to police language?”

Enforcing the rule would be the challenging part, and it’s looking like players could initially be given a warning for using it and then assessed a penalty if it happens a second time.

I’m white, so I obviously don’t understand both sides of the argument. I just don’t agree with the “-er” vs. “-a” argument. It’s the same word pronounced differently. I’ve heard plenty of Bostonians use the “-a” pronunciation in a derogatory manner. That said, banning it altogether would be incredibly difficult. Pittsburgh Steelers co-chairman Dan Rooney already tried that, and the team only respected his request for a day. It’s part of the culture that would be difficult to change.
