Yeah— it reinforces the idea of the "Black criminal" from the outset. It's...not good.

sorry - i didn't mean to cast doubt on it, it does seem fucking...weirdly awful. i shouldn't have skipped around the video, when i first watched it, but i hate this music and didn't want to listen to all of it. i skimmed around and missed the context, plot, and the part before the masks go on.
i don't really have a good feel for how mainstream popular any of these people are, but the song seems to fucking suck so hopefully it will sink to the bottom of the ocean

I'm also just going to come out and say that as a white gay dude, I always thought that PG was precious and for the sort of white gay dudes who think they're "alternative" but are actually very middle-class and boring men who like buttsex

Does anyone remember that indie rock video that was filmed like a Wes Anderson movie but ended with a guy literally shitting on another guy’s face and it was during the two years every music website was “sex positive” so some site was like “THIS MUST BE TAUGHT IN EVERY SEX EDUCATION CLASS”I would like table’s opinion on that video too

Glad I live in an area where one of the largest and most beautiful murals is of gay communist opera singer Paul Robeson.

I don't know if he was bi, but he married a woman and had some p scandalous affairs with other women

Jfc that was an autocorrect. He was not. In fact, he was quite the opposite lol
― it's like edging for your mind (the table is the table), Thursday, 4 March 2021 18:21 (three years ago) link
i was gonna say that scandalous affairs with women are not exactly a sign of homosexuality if you're a man but it is possible i am underinformed
― G.A.G.S. (Gophers Against Getting Stuffed) (forksclovetofu), Thursday, 4 March 2021 18:37 (three years ago) link
it is a sign of homosexuality when your phone autocorrects things to "gay" ;)
― superdeep borehole (harbl), Thursday, 4 March 2021 18:39 (three years ago) link
Was the autocorrected word "a"?

I think what table meant was that the phone autocorrected "gay communist opera singer Paul Robeson" from "Gaz Coombes"
― rob, Thursday, 4 March 2021 18:42 (three years ago) link
I'm trying to imagine living near a giant Gaz Coombes mural and for some reason the picture in my mind has the terrible face tattoos from the RBG mural I linked
― Hello Nice FBI Lady (DJP), Thursday, 4 March 2021 18:43 (three years ago) link
it was probably "ag," tbf— I sometimes type so fast on my phone that I'll swipe a letter trying to get to another, in this case the "c" in communist.
i am, it turns out, very gay.

I cant find a photo of it, but via the IndyStar
Rabble owner Josie Hunckler said she learned Thursday evening of a 2018 mural by Muck that depicts a chimpanzee sporting a gold tooth and a thought bubble filled by a marijuana leaf. Muck painted the chimpanzee near New Orleans' Lincoln Beach — a waterfront amusement park designated as an African American gathering place during the segregated 1950s...."I admit ignorance, inability to see the big picture, inability to see other people’s viewpoints on it," she said. "I didn’t see. I missed it. I apologize profusely."Someone painted over the New Orleans mural before Muck returned to do the task, she said. Although a photo of Muck with the chimpanzee mural no longer resides on her Instagram profile, a screencap exists."Yes, I painted a monkey," she said. "I had no association of that monkey with any race. I’ve never thought that way. I grew up in New York and Europe, and it just didn’t enter my mind."Muck said ethnicity didn't factor in her choices of the gold tooth and marijuana leaf.“I was putting gold teeth on everything at that time," she said. "That was my shtick.”Regarding the marijuana: "I was trying to help a newly sober person. He was having a hard time with his friend smoking weed. I said, ‘They look like monkeys, they’re being stupid. Why would you want to do that?’ And we painted the painting."
