There are more movies on this list than the Benjamin Harrison and Rutherford Hayes pages combined.

Nothing to do with racism. The Henry Kissenger page likely has more anyway.

is this racist?

the headline just seems offensively dumb and inflammatory but i guess that's the linkbait huh

a shame how the staple singers stole 'slippery people' from the talking heads, never forget

never heard this cougar/me'shell cover of wild night, pretty dreadful

JIM THOMETHEUS (zachlyon), Tuesday, 1 May 2012 19:01 (1 year ago) Permalink

i LOVE that cover of wild night!

wish it were more.. tongue-behind-cheek

wraparound shades from pharmacy (Matt P), Tuesday, 1 May 2012 19:03 (1 year ago) Permalink

well rest easy knowing that i would not be so hard on it if i hadn't watched the video. mellencamp goes down a lot smoother when i don't have to look at him. also wild night is one of those songs where i can't really understand how a cover would ever be necessary.

JIM THOMETHEUS (zachlyon), Tuesday, 1 May 2012 19:06 (1 year ago) Permalink

this list would have been funnier had they just matched up random songs with similar titles that sounded nothing alike, or if every pair had been the wrong way around as opposed yo just a couple

It took three tongues in three cheeks to write that article.

many times I have cursed the proximity of 't' and 'y' on the keyboard but never louder than today

no no! thank you so much.

is it racist to satirize rap if, by all indications, you've never actually heard rap?

that Onion article seemed legit to me

That's a pretty funky dance, Garfield. Show me how you do it. (frogbs), Tuesday, 1 May 2012 19:57 (1 year ago) Permalink

the problem with the original article is that the real reason to stop using "white" as pejorative is because it doesn't work

I'M THAT POSTA, AAAAAAAAAH (DJP), Tuesday, 1 May 2012 20:04 (1 year ago) Permalink

certainly hasn't stopped people from trying

The whole point in saying "white people" pejoratively is to treat white people as reductively as white people treat other races.

Like how does dude walk away from the Roots/Mad Men comparison being like "Wow, that doesn't get white people at all" instead of being like "It's really unfair to peg watching one of the most highly viewed TV events of all time as something indicative of the black experience in america"

the only people i know who bemoan "white people" are white people.

zubaz fupa (elmo argonaut), Tuesday, 1 May 2012 20:17 (1 year ago) Permalink

oh man, those "white people" are the worst kind of white people. there's two kinds of white people. there's white people, and then there's "white people" who are ruining it for all the white people.

Mordy, Tuesday, 1 May 2012 20:19 (1 year ago) Permalink

i agree with the onion guy that using "white" as a pejorative is stupid and unthinking but not really for the reasons that he lists, which are weird and personal

haha mordy

Neil Young’s social media channels (some dude), Tuesday, 1 May 2012 20:20 (1 year ago) Permalink

this is a much better, more persuasive and more succinct argument for ending "white" as an insult
