Does it make me racist to say that I was impressed how well spoken Tyler was during his award speech last night.

What’s wrong with just calling them black then? And really and truly, who the frick calls them urban youths anyway?



Because saying urban gives them plausible deniability to their true intent.

“A lot of white kids are urban, so who’s the racist now, libtard?”

We can call them “Yoo hoo(s).” Yoo hoo is a good color.

Fr33, the manator concurs,
If someone from a word infers,
It’s very use is something racist,
And finds it so without a basis,
When throwing shade is not intended,
It’s ‘cause they want to be offended,

What term could be used to refer to them that would not be racist if it identifies them as a group? Any form of classification is racist.

Has being offended become a replacement for having street cred? Being a victim somehow makes one sympathetic, therefore more likeable?

I know that victimhood status is highly desirable, with many going to great lengths to attain it.

This “racist” bs is getting out of hand. You can make a case that anything is racist if you want it to be. Calling someone black isn’t racist if that person is in fact black. Now if you pass judgement, as most of you do here just being honest, based on the color of a person skin then that qualifies as being racist. All this urban culture don’t have shite to do with being racist.

The Grammy’s are like 85% black. It’s basically a three hour long praise and worship service for black folks.

I watched Ursha do the Prince tribute and liked it. Didn’t watch before or after that because today’s pop music is garbage
