People on this site get real pissy when I post a VSB article and I honestly don't get why, sometimes the stories are hilarious and insightful but I guess everyone has to agree with everything you write to be positively acknowledged

This thread does make me want to get my money up to own a site tho

You're right, breh.. But then again, a lot of their articles and opinion pieces are dripping with satire and sarcasm, so most people might lost just off that. I had a similar experience when I was telling everybody how good Chiraq was but they thought it was straight

We all start somewhere Domain names go for less than 10 dollars. Little to no risk trying.

[MikeyC]

Good for them, I guess.

If it offends you...make your own site

I feel like personally I check websites for the artists (and I get the economics that they make money off of advertisements etc. etc.) but honestly I encourage anyone who has a real strong opinion about this to make their own site. I'd support it

OR

Create a platform siphoning off of their culture...create a site about all of the white celebrities and white music. Shyt...white people love our style so much, a black run website about white people might actually gain a ton of attention just off of the way it's put together and the journalists writing articles

But people don't understand it's different writers. It's very possible some feminist writes a think piece followed by a dude writing about smashing hoes.

Drug dealer buy Jordan, crackhead buy crack
And the white man get paid off of all of that
Black music no different
