haha lil wayne doesn't offend me at all he's my favorite rapper, honestly. i've got about 200 of his songs in my iTunes ... i just thought it was interesting.

i just thought it would be good here, since people have put racist and other related threads here.

I think what should be just as offensive is that they are referred to as "Blacks".
I mean, come on man. Haven't we moved past that already. I'm not the most politically correct person in the world by any means but "Blacks"

I think I would afford them the dignity of at least choosing a description of them based on something other than their skin color.

African Americans, The African American community, peoples of African American decent, etc.

Sorry to be so rude but it made the hair on the back of my neck stand up when I read the heading, and I am just a Honkey from the Midwest.

it's a SIMILE by the way not a metaphor, but i get what you're trying to say ... just imagine some black person who randomly heard a white dude, say Asher Roth, rapping about whipping someone like a slave they would not get offended?

please don't pull out the i have black friends card.

Don't worry about it; somehow, the soulful allure of rap music is continuing to escape me, too.

so Jesus H Christ it also offended you when i described German/Irish/Swiss/European American's as white as well? They aren't African American, They're American! what's so bad with saying black?

I find this post hilarious because it's true. I know several black people that like Lil Wayne, but overall in my area, it's those white hardcore "Emo" kids that love his music. I'm pretty sure this is why his next album is a "rock" album. Gotta sell what's popular, am I right?

Good call on simile, looks like I should go take a semester of English Grammar.

Bad call on Asher Roth.

www.racialicious.com...

But apparently, Asher Roth has been busy.


Apparently, Asher Roth was recently on the Rutgers campus and tweeted that he was hanging out with some “Nappy Headed Hoe’s.” He then tried to clean it up and recant by saying that “he was trying to make fun of Don Imus.” He apologized as well.


So, um, White rappers, even your boy Asher Roth do make comment like that and NOBODY cares. HE EVEN USED WHAT GOT DON IMUS IN TROUBLE. Because humans with common sense understand entertainment.

Quit trying to get a race debate started. I'm so sick of that stuff on this forum, that's not what ATS is about.

how does a white person saying, "nappy headed hoe's" (i know what they are by the way) compare to a white person saying, "whipping something like a slave?"
