The white dude was saying "I'm not racist" while actually saying a bunch of racist shyt, offensively. The Black dude was saying "I'm not racist" while saying a bunch of non-confrontational shyt, defensively.
I've thought it over carefully and revisited the song again, and I'm just not sure how that read is being made. I don't see any real difference in the level of contempt being expressed about the other side from each character. The black character demonizes the other side as being devoid of empathy, arrogant, innately evil, and consumed with so much hatred that they're purposely passing down said behaviors and ideas to their children with the intent of corrupting them, I.E the demonic cac label.

"And all you care about is money and power
And being ugly and that's the cracker within you
Hatred all in your brain, it slowly start to convince you
And then you teach it to your children until the cycle continue
"

One could easily argue that the moral condemnation is more harmful than the, they complain too much and take no responsibility stuff because of what one can justify on the grounds of the other party being evil in some intrinsic sense.

But that's secondary, the other reason why I don't see how such a read is being made when it comes to validating a perspective is the line at the end of each verse which illuminates the central idea of the piece, "But there's two sides to every story, I wish that I knew yours". The implication being that the tropes being drawn are incomplete, there is vital information being missed due to a breakdown of communication. Yes, in a sense, both sides are equivalent, but not in its truthiness, morally or logically, but rather in its incompleteness.

In retrospect, Its both of these points that I just made which is leading me to believe that what is really going on here is that preconceived notions people carried before watching the video ran in conflict with how they felt after watching it. On the subject of culture vs white racism, some people -- for whatever reason -- are finding validity in a perspective that they determined as profoundly invalid, and as a way to rationalize said feelings away, they're placing all the blame on Joyner's portrayal of the black character. When in actuality, I think the faults being detected by some isn't in the portrayal of the argument, its with the actual argument itself.

Jesus Christ breh, what are you talking about.

You’re wrong 100%

There’s no reason these two people should be equated. He doesn’t understand the alt right mentality, so he portrayed them wrong. And he portrayed their ideology in a way which normalized it by having it take place in a back and forth dialectic.

It’s an incredibly stupid song that was only made for sensationalist purposes

go back and forth with a ja rule stan brehs:mjlol: I cant believe yall even entertaining this contrarian fakkit who disagrees with anything that doesnt include sucking off ja

if yall need any further proof on why u shouldnt be going back and forth with this cac just take his response to the keaton kid being exposed as a racist for example

I'm having a difficult time following the plot here. The first item cited as proof of supposed racism is a post about butthurt Americans, however, i'm not given any context what's that in reference to. And, the confederate flag pictures that follow the post seem to have been added with intent of poisoning the well, rather than providing context to the post its attached to. Also, there is no confirmation if the mother is the person in the Instagram convo, or if the claim about the boy calling his classmates the n-word is in-fact true. Matter of fact, where is this N-word story even coming from???

You really didn't address anything I wrote, you don't even understand what I wrote, nor the song it seems, so there isn't much to say in response. However, I do agree that Joyner was off in his characterization of the alt right haracter, but for completely different reasons. Simply put, they don't believe that culture is the explanatory factor, that's a traditional conservative view point which they hold great disdain for. The alt right thinks the disparities noted in society between groups is largely a case of fixed genetics.

If Joyner wanted to go for accuracy he would've done genes vs white racism instead of culture vs white racism, however, doing so would mean the entire theme of communication would have to be thrown out but I think its worth it. Because its really important that people stop mixing up normie conservative talking-points with what the alt-right actually believe, because what they actually believe is something way more far-reaching but its being cloaked due to the left blurring the differences between the two. And I think that's my only fault with the song at large, its ultimately giving people a false perception of the alt right.

Lomachenko On Rigondeaux Injury: I've Fought With One Hand


By Keith Idec

NEW YORK – Vasyl Lomachenko wouldn’t have stopped fighting if he was the one that suffered a hand injury Saturday night.

Lomachenko didn’t go as far as to say he believes Guillermo Rigondeaux faked his left hand injury to get out of their fight. He did question Rigondeaux’s decision to stop fighting following the sixth round of their WBO super featherweight championship match in The Theater at Madison Square Garden.

Lomachenko spoke from personal experience.

The southpaw from Ukraine recalled suffering an injury to his left hand nearly midway through a fight three years ago in Macau, China. Lomachenko fought through that pain and still defeated Thailand’s Suriya Tatakhum by unanimous decision in their 12-round fight at Cotai Arena on the Manny Pacquiao-Chris Algieri undercard.

You know, I fought with one hand in Macau,” Lomachenko said. “So it depends [on] you. If you wanna win, if you wanna fight, you’re willing to die in the ring.”

A post-fight X-ray revealed Lomachenko’s left hand wasn’t broken in that bout, but the two-time Olympic gold medalist endured considerable pain to win every round of his fight against Tatakhum. Rigondeaux wasn’t sure after the fight if he suffered a broken bone in his left hand when he hurt it in the second round.

The 29-year-old Lomachenko (10-1, 8 KOs) wanted to hear from Rigondeaux (17-1, 11 KOs, 1 NC) about why he decided not to continue fighting Saturday night, especially after promising to knock out Lomachenko amid a barrage of pre-fight trash talk. He didn’t get that opportunity because Rigondeaux didn’t attend the post-fight press conference.

“Where is Rigo?,” Lomachenko asked. “We need to ask him now about his posts [on social media].”



Bob Arum, Lomachenko’s promoter and Rigondeaux’s former co-promoter, questioned the validity of Rigondeaux’s injury. Arum suggested the 37-year-old Rigondeaux’s will was broken, not his hand.

Regardless, Lomachenko was way ahead on all three scorecards when Rigondeaux informed referee Steve Willis he couldn’t continue (60-53, 59-54, 59-54). Willis deducted a point from Rigondeaux for excessive holding in the sixth round and had warned him numerous times for fouls before taking away that point.
