CocoRosie member goes to "Kill Whitey" Ironic dance parties and gets called out by brainwashed.com as racist

starting dudes only bitch thread brb our voices will not be silenced

omg "alt.Ethyl.Merman" I am stealing this and using it from here on out

Damn, just read DJP's lyric posting. Sounds like some 7th grader writing bad poetry and trying to be really serious and really subversive with it.

hey who killed whitey?
there should be a trial, yeah?
think its only fair

omg "alt.Ethyl.Merman" I am stealing this and using it from here on out

I so totally grinned and went "DJP is gonna love this" as I was typing it

^^^ this is basically exactly what's going on w/CR's racist stuff, tho sidenote I encourage all 7th graders to write a lot of poetry & take it really seriously & do all they can to annoy adults who frown on their efforts

NEW RULE any white person who goes to a "kill whitey" party but does not commit suicide by the end of the evening is expelled from the white race, and must henceforth identify on all forms as 'other: poseur'

How has nobody ever used "Whitey G. Whitegarden" as a dn yet?

xp (I call it the "one dope" rule)

How has nobody ever used "Whitey G. Whitegarden" as a dn yet?

wasn't he referring to the person in the gif edward iii posted who is clearly male?

no, scroll up

oh nvm i was confused, cause jennifer lawrence is definitely saying "ok" so i assumed he was referring to the "yay" gif

also following his post up with "the pumpsta," who is a guy

it's like dylannn said, don't criticize what you can't understand, my pumpstas and bitches are beyond your command

calling a dude a bitch isn't really any better

EIII wouldn't have it any other way

I think "Kill Whitey" parties are an awful, self-indulgent idea. But when someone has a mixed race parent I won't assume things about them.

I assume coco rosie are talentless race baiting shitheads

The ”one drop” rule of indie race politics

I'm not indie, that's not my music background.

remarkable they've managed to stay together for a decade

I just watched that entire Latifah video

I think the dude that grabs her butt is played by Vinny from Naughty By Nature

Never caught that before

Also as long as this is ostensibly a thread about appropriation and whatnot, remember when 90s rappers like QL would sometimes affect a Jamaican accent just for the hell of it?

It's very likely Latifah's family has Caribbean roots.

During this time KRS-One also gained acclaim as one of the first MCs to incorporate Jamaican style into hip-hop, using the Zung gu zung melody, originally made famous by Yellowman in Jamaican dance halls earlier in the decade.[3] While KRS-One used Zunguzung styles in a more powerful and controversial manner, especially in his song titled "Remix for P is Free", he can still be credited as one of the more influential figures to bridge the gap between Jamaican music and American Hip-Hop.

p interesting imo

Um hip hop and dancehall and reggae have been intertwined since, say, Jamaican DJ Kool Herc started hip hop in the Bronx

Not to mention how much dancehall by the 90s was already influenced by American hip hop, it's a complex process of years of cross pollinization that's really unfair and simplistic to characterize as appropriation

Cross pollination is fine, fake patois probably isn't if you have no direct link to the Caribbean - though this is getting away from the entirely noble thread purpose of clowning CocoRosie.

that's really unfair and simplistic to characterize as appropriation

tbf he characterised it as "appropriation and whatnot"

Cross pollination is fine, fake patois probably isn't if you have no direct link to the Caribbean - though this is getting away from the entirely noble thread purpose of clowning CocoRosie.

so nobody can do accents anymore, b/c they are "appropriation," and that's always bad? i'm sure there's a smarter response to that kind of idiocy, but all i've got at the moment is "fuck you."

sry for fighting humorlessness with humorlessness but sometimes a man's got to step up

how badly do you really want to do jamaican patois?

/want/ to do? i'm doing it right now, bwoy.

"Probably isn't fine" = "always bad"?

How exactly is what he said incorrect? That shit is often disrespectful.

Adopting the persona of someone from a different culture whose lived experience is not yours is rarely a good look - particularly, as if often the case, that persona is a reductive 'weed and guns' one that reinforces stereotypes about people from the Caribbean. It is appropriation by definition though whether that is always bad is open to debate.

/want/ to do? i'm doing it right now, bwoy.

well, that is certainly doing it badly. sharivari otm.
