rolling "Is This Racist?" thread

bi-monthly, I should've said.

the kicker is "cool watermelon recipes"

that should upset me but I'm am holding back guffaws

URL on the cover is an anagram of www.barf.com

there doesn't seem to be a single element in that photo that couldn't have existed 50 or 100 yrs ago

Well, aside from the black prison guard on horseback.

I'm trying to reconcile in my mind the person at the photo shoot who said, "Uh, maybe we should get a black officer on the horse instead of Bubba Stanley," with the designer back at the office who said, Now where are we going to promote the watermelon recipes?

hmmmn yeah maybe

when did it become legal/normal/etc for prisons to employ black officers

1992.

rawr

the coverage of her is full of shit, described as 'power behind the throne' as if rupe was some harmless genial old fuck before his brain was CONTROLLED BY AZN AMAZON WOMAN

Anything to distract attention from hacking phones and blanket media power. Anything at all

noticed the front page of telegraph today 'how tiger wives defend their husbands' or something.

somehow the idea of a "chicken, ham, and cheese burger" is the most offensive part of that.

i guess the first question is, "does it look like a chapelle's show skit?"

in case u missed buzza's youtube from a few days ago before it got taken down, its at the end of this news story about said youtube:

just a really horribly formed joke?

lol @ moby as arbiter of the genuine

among other things

moby is truly the worst

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

stop it

Seriously, Moby should not be allowed access to a keyboard (computer or musical).

moby was the new aflac duck :-/

Can't wait to hear his shitty, ill-formed "justification".

"I like black people! Remember that video I did with the fake gold teeth and Gwen Stefani? ... What's that? That's not helping?"

Maybe Moby's NASA gig in 1992 will be cancelled.

wait...moby is the new aflac duck?

yes.

yeah, that's why eminem says "nobody purchases AFLAC" on his single w/ royce da 5' 9" and bruno mars

you almost had me until royce da 59

Gr80 when will P4k interview you about ruining Moby's career? lol, good work man!

the new hood, i guess.

Can't wait to hear his shitty, ill-formed "justification".

me otm, even though it wasn't quite as great as I hoped it would be... it was still worth seeing him dig a deeper hole

Very suspicious of folks who address the world as "people."

"Okay, PEOPLE. You misheard me.

"Um, PEOPLE, hello?"

"PEOPLE, U know what I'm sayin."

god, what an idiot

Moby
@thelittleidiot why does my <3 feel so sad?

i hate to be cap'n save a moby, but i've had lots of convos with dude and everything points to the fact that dude seriously likes rap music. i think he was just making a dumb joke about the subject matter and it came off wrong.

When I talk about white supremacy in this context, I am talking about the ability of white people to move further in virtually every sphere of US life due to their whiteness. Do you think it is a coincidence that Moby’s appearance on a recent cover of ‘Wired’ is set against an all-white background with only parts of his face peeking through the monochromatic cover? Why, in a recent issue of the UK magazine, ‘Muzik’, is Moby shown on the cover with a white T-shirt, on a white background, holding a wand that radiates bright white light? These are the representational practices that continually consolidate white supremacy.

One could make the claim that Moby just worked hard, produced a lot of tracks, refined his style, and moved beyond ‘dance music’ to create an entirely new genre. In other words, he was just good at what he did and his talent was recognized. That claim is without merit. Yes, he worked hard and actually made some good rave tracks for Instinct in the early ‘90s. He subsequently moved on and fashioned full-length albums which won him praise. ‘Play’ made the top ten on a number of critics’ year-end lists in 2001. Was this album ‘adventurous’, ‘ground-breaking’, or ‘innovative’? No. There are eighteen-year old artists in the projects of Houston’s 5th Ward who made ‘electronic’ records in the same year so profoundly experimental, their influence won’t be understood for years. (This is the phenomenon of ‘screwed & chopped’ music, which I’ve not the space to talk about yet).
