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 guesshe beat a womanthe fact that we place him on a pedestal after that amazes meactually, it disgusts me
what are you talking about?
either way, he was a douche nozzle and acted like a moron on stage with Taylor Swiftso i'm disgusted either way
chris brown was the beaterkanye is just arrogant
so they're both total douches
nah thats another levelthat taylor swift thing was top notchlaughs 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 aboutGUTTER 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 mecant believe u even make that argument
he's one in a list of thousandsdude, 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 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?

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?

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"

ok, there's no way that's the "worst possible way", that's not even close to the worst thing that can be said about that picture. but yeah that's a pretty standard line of thinking. i thought exploring the differences between how certain races are treated in the media was kinda the point of this thread?

anyway i don't think we need to go over why blackface is offensive and whiteface is really not, but ymmv

no but reacting to something like that with "OH MY GOD HOW ARE YOU STILL HERE" raises a couple of eyebrows and kinda explains why the IA thread is like 500000 posts
― frogbs, Thursday, 25 August 2011 21:08 (twelve years ago) link
so exactly where are you drawing the line here. is it offensive to photoshop someone as Chinese, for instance? or just any race but white?

racial politics are a continuum, there's no "one size fits all" policy. historical power dynamics are involved.
why am I bothering...

i...need to stop doing this, but frogbs are you saying that brian austin green mike vick is offensive to white people somehow?
― horseshoe, Thursday, 25 August 2011 21:14 (twelve years ago) link
there is that painful centuries-long tradition of depicting white men with goatees i guess

hmm
they BAG'ed Michael Vick
maybe that's what that line in "Bedrock" was talking about?

okay, then you didn't need to frame it in opposition to blackface

well, yeah, I'm just wondering if a national publication bringing up this sort of thing at all is just in bad taste even if the image itself isn't really going to offend anyone. they've already taken it off their website and the author of the article is going nuts on twitter trying to distance himself from it.
