Playing the Blues Brothers "Soul Man" instead of Sam & Dave is one of my greatest peeves! It's such an inferior version! And it's totally racist!

Dan I., Friday, 26 July 2013 04:13 (twelve years ago)

Haha, swear to god I used to backsell it as "And we started things off with The Blues Brothers and their inferior version of 'Soul Man". Coming up, Steve Miller, Heart and Billy Squier..."

I get the feeling that if a white kid had told the interviewer his favorite band was One Direction, it wouldn't have been spelled like that.

But maybe the ESPN producer was old and tired, I don't know.

pplains, Tuesday, 6 August 2013 01:08 (twelve years ago)

they should provide an infographic comparing japan and pennsylvania in different categories

Nilmar Honorato da Silva, Tuesday, 6 August 2013 01:10 (twelve years ago)

Maybe it's a One Direction tribute band.

I saw the introductory bit on ESPN and it's surprising how many of them name Yu Darvish as their favorite player. Not a single mention of Ichiro. I tell ya, the kids these days.

dear rolling "Is This Racist?" thread

every time i have heard someone quote will smith's most memorable line in "independence day", 1. it has always been a white person and 2. they always say "welcome to earf." or "welcome to urf." or "welcome to erf." i've seen it stylized many different ways.

i watched "independence day" on the TBS a couple nights ago for probably the first time since it was in theaters, and, to my surprise, the line is not "welcome to earf" at all!

like that isn't even close. i just thought you should know.

there's a heavy exhalation after the t tbf

darraghmac, Wednesday, 14 August 2013 02:47 (twelve years ago)

i think this is probably v common when -- i dunno, non-black people or just people who don't speak AAVE -- quote black ppl who speak AAVE. entirely standard pronunciations are transformed. it's like the old white man who seriously thinks young black men say "yo" multiple times every sentence, except it's really just young people rapping along with their favorite kanye song and making him sound less suburban

Is it racist that a white Pitchfork writer asks a black rapper "Chicken or shrimp?"

Vinetalic - "My Friend Terio" (Whiney G. Weingarten), Wednesday, 18 September 2013 21:38 (twelve years ago)

iirc doesn't the cookbook included in the CD version have both recipes for chicken and shrimp?

乒乓, Wednesday, 18 September 2013 21:39 (twelve years ago)

real question is does it have recipes for BEEF

beautifully, unapologetically plastic (mh), Wednesday, 18 September 2013 21:40 (twelve years ago)

i think it's mostly chicken and shrimp and veggies

Vinetalic - "My Friend Terio" (Whiney G. Weingarten), Wednesday, 18 September 2013 21:40 (twelve years ago)

I think one has a sausage though

Vinetalic - "My Friend Terio" (Whiney G. Weingarten), Wednesday, 18 September 2013 21:40 (twelve years ago)

i have a serious "is this racist?" entry for discussion:

can we talk about the rick owens ss14 women's show?

your authentic guitar playing self (elmo argonaut), Monday, 7 October 2013 17:36 (twelve years ago)

is this a demonstration of radically inclusive diversity, both in terms of race and body type? or is this an illustration of racist tropes about black aggression conceived as a type of shocking, antagonistic "anti-beauty"? can it be both these things? I've read versions of both takes in the past week. what's going on?

fwiw i support these models / dancers and think they are amazing, i am not criticizing their participation one bit, but i am extremely skeptical of owens' motivations in using them

anyway
