This whole Kanye getting cancelled saga proves Matt504's point.

[Mr. Jack Napier]

Somehow yall made it raps fault for black people not getting Kanye "cancelled".

The mental gymnastics in this thread would make Simone Biles proud

 

[Wild self]

Well, well, well

So much for these Drill Rappers being the voice of black people

We need Charleston White to attack these rappers as well as Future, Gucci Mane, and others that contributed degeneracy.

It never fails to amaze me seeing how ardently some of us will defend the worst depictions of "Black culture" and society as the norm

The overwhelming majority of whites in America are a bunch of backwoods, half-wit, meth-smoking, opioid-addicted trailer trash.

Yet, you will NEVER see Cletus, Bam-Bam, and Sally-Jo propped up in white society, let alone being held up in high regard as "real crackers" (to parallel the concept of "real nikkas").

This is because the movers and shakers in white society have actively shunned those people, going so far as to deem them "white trash" since the early 1900s.

The only time the broader white community gives them any acknowledgement is during election season when they need a republican in office.

What a sh*t show this thread is

 

[The Fade]

They still mad at us over Leo Frank too

 

[The Fade]

You are correct bruh, we're not.

There's been a CONCERTED EFFORT to destroy the image of the black man and woman since before any us were born.

They've used propaganda to spread the most stereotypical imagery of blacks to the world for awhile now:

How 'The Birth of a Nation' Revived the Ku Klux Klan | HISTORY

D.W. Griffith’s controversial epic 1915 film about the Civil War and Reconstruction depicted the Ku Klux Klan as valiant saviors of a post-war South ravaged by Northern carpetbaggers and freed blacks.

www.history.com

Rap Music itself was hijacked by them and weaponized against us to paint the narrative that black men are menaces to society and to JUSTIFY our incarceration in the prison system:



The difference between then and now is that they no longer need to paint their own faces and perform Minstrel Shows to portray blacks as savages......they pay us and give us the platforms to do it ourselves now.

Curse of Ham being adopted by all three Abrahamic cultures as well

I forget what radio host said this, but they compared nikka to wop and dago. That Italians made sure those slurs were removed from the lexicon. Most people aren't even going to know what those terms are now. But we want to continue using it, in what is now popular music, and want to get mad when others use it. It should not be used in music and film.

Exactly. We let some fools convince “the community/culture” that we took back the word. Nah. We fell for the okey-doke.

One of the biggest reasons why we are not respected. We are insulting ourselves every time we greet each other and sing along to these songs. And now other races are in on the fun.

A lost, confused people.

Every Black person should be able to solve this for themselves in 5 minutes flat by asking themselves one question:

"What is the difference between n*gga and n*gger"

"One is a term of endearment, which also stands for 'Never Ignorant Getting Goals Accomplished'"

Pan Africanism is dead tho

And Africans killed it

Kanye def sold out but black people stopped fukking with him over a decade ago.

The glow in the dark tour was supported by all white fans.

Wasn't packed with black people. Any time you go to them concerts it's scores of white people.

It's mainstream news that whites are the ones who go to concerts.

Black folks still steal or illegally download music or just stream from YouTube. Any rapper will tell you that.

The black community is powerless to cancel anyone. We might not tune in or go to shows or movies but we aren't getting anyone fired. We might fukk up someone's money for a little bit but we aren't breaking anyone. The rest of America and the world will keep them afloat.

We gotta stop this "black people actually don't fukk with Kanye" shyt

Part of the reason black folks are mad is because they love Kanye so much

I don't think y'all understand the impact Kanye has had on black people over his career

 

[O.Red]

These dudes....black people ragged his ass for that shyt(especially slavery is a choice) and we still do. Please believe there are interviews he can no longer get. Please believe there are black spaces he can no longer frequent. He got lambasted by the community.

But see folks like @Matt504 hide a lotta hatred for the community behind this concerned front. To me it's plain as day. So they have to pretend Kanye is still welcome with open arms so they can criticize.

If you see what you wanna see you can push any narrative you like.

Man this shyt ain't true

Nikkas expressed anger but Kanye wasn't "lambasted"

What rappers stopped fukkin with Kanye? Through all this he's had his pick of features. The only rapper that openly said "I'm not fukkin with Kanye and the shyt he's doing" is Lupe Fiasco. Even now what rapper would turn down working with Kanye West?

Black folks have still worn Yeezy over all these years. Y'all wanna feel comfortable thinking its just cac kids but that shyt ain't the truth

 

[BruhManFromTheFifthFlo]

It all boils down to educating your children and instilling pride for their race into them. There’s a lot of reasons this don’t happen, and nothing will solve it overnight.

 

[rabbitfood]

Matt has always been my personal GOAT on this forum. If I ever had a chance to build with him, I'd make sure to bring some boots and a hard hat. Because I only congregate if I'm doing something constructive.



Our community is full of Medusas and sadly we can't see eye to eye.

Liking him and putting money in his pockets aren't mutually exclusive. Hell I liked Kanye. Therefore I put money in his pockets. I blew out a set of speakers on late registration twice. Bought college dropout, late registration, and graduation twice on CD because they got stolen from me. Bought 808s and my beautiful dark twisted fantasy. My car got stolen and I said fukk cd's. I had a good music t (dont know where it's at) shirt and still have 2 crooks n castles x good music t-shirts. Right around the time Kanye started fukking with Amber rose I stopped 'liking' him. But with an album or 2 I was still lining the nikkas pockets. Now I don't fukk with him as a person, I.e I don't like him and I will still rip all joints from 3rd party sites to ensure he don't get my money.

Yeah, black people buy his shoes and clothes and albums, but we aren't and weren't the ones keeping him afloat. White people go to the show's and tours and buy everything. I know white people with the stem player. They got money to not give a fukk.

Black people are smart. We might fukk with the beats and the raps but still have enough sense to say fukk him as a person.
