re: Blake Lively Posted An Instagram Of Her Butt That Has A Lot Of People Upset

if it wasn't the lyric in a popular song then it would have been an ill-advised caption at best

How so?

Do you really need me to explain why it is a bad idea for a white woman to post a picture of herself from behind and captioning it by saying she has an "LA face and an Oakland booty"?

Would you consider it a good idea to post a picture of yourself and caption it with "An Asian dick with a Somali net worth?"

I like big butts and I can not lie.

That's a pretty stupid comparison, but you knew that.

I get the way the context is taken to be that the races for the cities are different than they are

Apparently you don't.

for starters LA is predominantly Hispanic and Oakland is a majority white, so explain the race issue with that?

since when does a race get to claim a body feature?

In the context of the lyric it means she has a beautiful face and a ghetto arse. I'm not sure what is hard to understand about that.

This has nothing to do with facts and everything to do with perception.

Again, I'm not offended in the slightest, and I wouldn't be if it was any other set of cities, but to act like you don't understand the connotation is a bit disingenuous.

gimmmie gimmie

I asked this is the Steven Adams thread and i'll ask it again. Are any people of color actually outraged or is this just more fake anger?

Probably not, I'm just pointing out it is understandable that there would be backlash from people who don't recognize the lyric.

Jesus...never in my life thought that society would breed such politically correct sweaty vaginas that actually search for things to be offended about....but low and behold...they are everywhere.

I'll use the Steven Adams example since someone else brought it up. I specifically said in that thread that people would be offended but there wasn't a single racial intention in that comment he made.

That being said, we factually know that a monkey is not an African American, and an African American is not a monkey, but at some point in time that term became a racial insult directed at AAs.

A similar thing has happened with black women and big asses. Factually correct? No, not always. Accepted socially? Yes.

I'm not really caught up in the idea that black women have some sort of monopoly on the big arse market, and I couldn't care less about the comment Lively made other than to say that people shouldn't be shocked in 2016 when people take issue with comments that have even the slightest racial connotations. Is it ridiculous? Absolutely, but it shouldn't be a surprise.
