Because I realized there is nothing about dude's post/position I really respectWhy’d you take the “ with all due respect” out though?
Just like I don't respect the **** you post

If the story was that Kayne made these comments 25 years ago when he was 20 and hadn't made anything close to them since, I'd have the same thoughts as I do about Eminem using that word 35 years ago. If Eminem was using that word today, my feelings would be different. As I said earlier, context matters.A person record a song spewing racism about black people when he was 21. He didn't just use a word around the black friends he grew up around.
He owes his success to multiple black people, and openly stated at the time he doesn't support racism and doesn't use the N-word
Yet, His previous racism gets exposed when he was in his late 20s early 30s, and he half owns up to it, and half bull****s to deflect
And the defense of him is the usual white privileged drenched **** about him being young
As soon as I touched down in America as a 14-year-old, cops were on me. I got harassed by the same cop
I saw black friends' lives ruined and almost ruined of relatively small things.
When I was 21, I did a lot of dumb **** I was not proud of. But I didn't use racial slurs, I certainly didn't make a song using them
It is just weird that when it comes to the bad behavior of young black boys, they are viewed as adults in their early teens, and society treats and punishes them accordingly
But with white dudes especially affluent ones or with fame, they get to be kids well into their 20s,
So excuse me if I don't accept a non-black person, defending a white adult's racist actions by calling him a kid and sanitizing his action. That just doesn't sit right with me
It is not about being on my high horse, it is about acknowledging the different ways society goes harder at certain groups for certain actions. I just find that double standard insulting
Right now, people are rightfully drawing a strict line on what is excusable rhetoric regarding Jewish Americans.
And the second it turns to a white person's racism towards black people the black people talking issue with Ye's antisemitism to treated to some mealy-mouthed nonsense downplaying Emimen's racism.
Yeah, spare me.
People like you who jumped out the window as soon as he was mentioned are the ones that are acting like this is what is going onIf the story was that Kayne made these comments 25 years ago when he was 20 and hadn't made anything close to them since, I'd have the same thoughts as I do about Eminem using that word 35 years ago. If Eminem was using that word today, my feelings would be different. As I said earlier, context matters.
I will say it's odd that a discussion of Ye has turned into "But hey what about the white guy from 35 years ago?"
In 2003, it was not “35 years ago,” nor was he fifteen at the time of the recording.Saying it's silly to bring up things from 35 yrs ago that a 15 yr old said in a rap isn't that lengthy imo. He was wrong and owned it 20 years ago. And I'm not even a huge Em fan.
I can accept that it doesn’t move the needle much for you, but, crucially, it did not denigrate you.Hey man I'm not going to waste too much time on this, but a 15 or 21 or whatever age kid using that word in a rap 30-35 years ago doesn't move the needle much for me. If you want to hold it against him still, that's cool too.
There are a lot of people in prison for mistakes they made at 21. Society tends to be significantly more forgiving when the people who make those “mistakes” are White.Man I was still doing a loooooot of dumb **** at 21. But I'm old af so maybe I view it differently.
I understand what you’re saying and i get it. no disagreement whatsoever. My statement was generally speaking about everyone and everything being politically correct. I agree racist and anti-semitics has absolutely no place in media. With all that said, people aren’t perfect and we’re bound to make mistakes (again generally speaking)
The people who he really running with, and who is giving him the script……kompromat is their business.
I got a theory…imma watch unfold. It’s also super obvious the timing of this.
If corny equals one of the best selling artists off all time, and comes with a combined net worth of over $230 million, then sign me up Steve Buscemi.Eminem is so corny
