Song of the South is what everyone uses against Diesny. Truth be told the tar baby and Mammy (from tom & jerry) were more ignorant as to how our people really were than racist. There is a difference. No one in Hollywood truly knew how black people in the South really were like so they ignorantly went with the stereotypes.

James Baskett (Uncle Remus) was the first black man to get an Oscar and that was due in large part to Disney pushing for it.
what?
look at how black folks were portrayed for fukk sake?
it doesn't matter if one huckle berry ass tom got a damn oscar..
oh so..sammy davis junior was in the rat pack hollywood loves black folks huh?

that's not my point.

I thought the same shyt as well when first hearing it, then I researched it.

There's lot of shyt that is racist. Some more ignorant than racist and some more classim than racism.

Just one example. More exception than the rule.

With Disney it was more :patrice: towards Jewish cats than black people. Still racism in that respect, but if it doesn't affect my people...I don't give a fukk anymore.

No what's bullshyt is that if he was really close, he'd pick up the damn phone and call or text him. WTF is all this Tweeting? Send him a DM if you feel that way. Kweli just trying to capitalize off the hype and earn brownie points :camby:

we live in a social media era where people live their lives through that shyt...so yes, while we know he did tweet him; he couldve also called him, we dont know...just saying: everything aint a publicity stunt/trying to capitalize off some shyt...i think the cat is truly trying to be there for his friend, and figured this is one way that he can get to him, in addition to calling...

That's a lame copout. If I'm close with someone and take umbrage with something they do, I'll call or text him. The last thing I'll do is send a message to him on a platform the ENTIRE WORLD sees, especially if it looks like my friend is troubled and needs real help. Talib is definitely capitalizing (or trying to) and is selfish as hell.

I didnt get the memo that we are dissing Talib Kweli now:martin:

Nggaz are lame. I ain't even big on him but homey is a public figure. artist. activist.

Why would I not expect him to talk about modern issues/news and or Kanye?

Ngga knew Kanye when he wore Jean jackets and wore a Jansport bookbag

Him mos. common. tip and all of them are allowed to son Kanye before anyone

who said i was trying to give him a cop out?....i agree, i would call/text the person, i wouldnt put it on social media, but you nor i are kweli, nor do we know the details of their friendship...maybe they are cool with that shyt...

i disagree about the selfish part, but that's whatever...
