Racist?!?! I'm confused.

[sunny_cat]

Does anyone have anything intelligent to say.  The you're a racist bullshit gets old.  Why is everyone so afraid to discuss this?

Maybe stop being so racist and people will leave you alone. Or at least not call you racist.

What makes you think I'm a racist?  Because I want to make a conversation about it?

I'll talk race with ya Katdaddy, often times around here racist and dumbass are tossed
around in a glib and casual way, I think that is sad and very revealing.

Both are words that are used when they don't have anything to say, and think it makes them seem smart asses.

To use these terms carelessly tends to water them down over time, to render them powerless.
Surely this is not what people should want to do.

Why haven't you addressed my two posts Katdaddy????? I thought they were pretty commonsense and rational?

Why do you need our approval to run around dropping N bombs? 

It's not like you are going to win some pass from gE that you can whip out when someone is angry that you are using that word.  Write your senator

that all that remains guitarist has a totally rough ridin' metal hair/beard sitch. he should start his own band.

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.

How is calling you a racist not considered "talking about racism"?

Did you what the video?  Did you notice it was an all white band, playing to an all white crowd about an all white song.

A lot of bands are all white. Not a big deal.

What was so "white" about the song?

Your choice of vids really caused some confusion as to what you were trying to argue, say, whatever.

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:

Their music kilter's to whites.  By the way, did you see any Native Americans enjoying this music.

YES, I'll check into these!  They do sound interesting.  I'll get be to you after I do some reading.

Not a big deal that no natives are in the vid.

I'm sure there are some young native Americans out there who listen to lousy corporate rock like I did when I was green and naive.  .

Also Rusty, I been reading your posts way back when you were convincing sports fans at KSU that we should get Bob Huggins.  It was a great idea, but what I really admired was your conviction.

Let's talk about good rap instead:



Swing down sweet chariot!

This is the music fountain that only whites can enjoy.

None really. Just Regulating the thread I guess

[puniraptor]

do I not understand this thread because the OP video is removed? is that the key? what the eff is going on?

Look at the video link on reply #3.  Maybe that will help.

That's nice, but the OP isn't about music.
