rolling "Is This Racist?" thread

Elvis Costello hangs out in New Orleans and I mean

did he write mad royalty checks to muddy waters

Don't invoke my name to justify your petty internecine shit, please.

It's dumb (and ironic) for Moby to josh about rappers in museums or whatever because he's definitely been the rich popstar invited to the art dinner purely because some gallerist or collector thought they were being edgy in 2001. I think he was doing that thing of speaking with complacency because a) he's 45 and b) until this moment he was operating under the misapprehension that he had one of those elusive 'free passes' - in any case it is not an appropriate joke and I'm disappointed.

why... why are they making those faces

what is the boogie doing to them

for someone that loves rap music, he apparently has no idea what jay-z had rapped about since like 2003

A charitable interpretation might be that Moby was just musing about how far Jay-Z had come, that rapping about MoMA was the apotheosis of an ongoing trend.

that is a classic example of how Twitter is terrible

you are not talking to your friends in private, you are blasting nonsense out to everyone on Earth

stop it

i've had lots of convos with some dude and everything points to the fact that some dude seriously likes rap music.

nahhhhh can't be!

"It's over, frizz-head," chanted hundreds of jubilant men and women massed in Green Square, using a mocking nickname of the curly-haired Qaddafi.

too soon?

though asking Chris Rock "am I racist?" gives me the same feeling as frogbs IMing calum to quell all the "troll" talk

wait what

It was a stupid analogy based on frogbs being a horrible troll.

did this get talked about at all?

The Surf thing is Sth Africa btw.

oh alright n/m

yikes

yeah woah

if only black ppl would stop their life of crimes and come bale some hay on eric church's farm....real sad, bill cosby was right

hahah otm

A little IM convo I had with my severely misguided co-worker after he sent me this link:
http://www.callofduty.com/xp (Kanye going to be performing at some Call of Duty event)

Me: cool

Him: i think it's gay as a french trombone

uh, well ok

not at all what i want to hear at that event

your loss pal, dude knows how to rock a crowd

i guess
he beat a woman
the fact that we place him on a pedestal after that amazes me
actually, it disgusts me

what are you talking about?

either way, he was a douche nozzle and acted like a moron on stage with Taylor Swift
so i'm disgusted either way

chris brown was the beater
kanye is just arrogant

so they're both total douches

nah thats another level
that taylor swift thing was top notch
laughs for days

disrespectful is what it was … just another piece of gutter trash that got money and got famous … zero. class.

GUTTER TRASH?
walking a fine line there buddy, learn what your talking about
GUTTER TRASH!?
dude comes from a normal middle class fam

well he still acted like gutter trash and continues to do so in nearly every instance i have seen him on video

he's a pompous pop star, nothing new man

i don't ever recall him doing anything to HELP society …

not like your looking

but i guess the masses will pay money for whatever … doesn't matter the quality of the individual producing it

youve gotta be kidding me
cant believe u even make that argument

he's one in a list of thousands
dude, hollywood is FULL of that crap

ya so

you're forgetting, i would happily have california break off into the ocean … the country would be better off … a lot of innocent people would wash away in the process, but the greater good that would come from it would be worth it

my point is just that we know that the internet is terrible, we don't need it to be solemnly pointed out that people are racist

those surf ads are obvious shops right?

I think it's real.

the text does not line up with the margins of the page and looks like someone just typed it directly on the image

Those are 100% shops, there's no way the print on the ads would be that crisp and bright when everything else is faded. I mean, has it been that long since you guys have seen a real newspaper?

ive seen pixels etc

Okay, at least someone, somewhere along the line must have questioned this article headline, right?

just to clarify, if they had photoshop blackfaced Tom Brady I'm sure a lot of people would have a problem with it

OH MY GOD

how is this guy still around?

uhhh what exactly is bannable about that in the rolling "Is This Racist?" thread

i'd hate to see what happens to you when you get exposed to any other areas of the internet

Its just that you are constantly bringing up race in the worst possible ways. You do know how ridiculous the "but you know if a white guy did this it would be bad, right?" line of argument is right?

so your defense is basically "just bringing you a lil bit of that 4chan experience, right here on ilx! *winks at the camera*"

explain the context of vickwhite.jpg to me

The 4Chan Experience has an EP coming out on XL, right

frogbs walks up to a random person and hits him in the knee with a tire iron. the person, crumpled on the ground, writhing in pain, looks up at frogbs and says, "WHAT THE FUCK, MAN????". frogbs responds, "jeez, i'd hate to see what happens when you get exposed to the russian mafia"
