I saw someone on twitter defend him by saying it's no different than going on Fox news, which basically everyone does, but I don't think that holds up

I hope he acknowledges that instead of doubling down

last night on twitter it seemed like he was...doing both? or splitting the difference? doubling down on his message (nb i didn't see the video) and also saying that he didn't really care about the NRA as an organization, it was just an opportunity to get his side out there

I think him bragging about threatening to kick his kids out of the house if they march is going to make me ignore him from now on

fwiw none of this stuff is new? like, i think he's been pretty open about his views on gun ownership for a while
― gbx, Sunday, 25 March 2018 17:03 (six years ago) link
There's a difference between nuanced opinions on gun ownership and claiming you'd toss your kids out of the house if they participated in a march for Gun Control.
― Dangleballs and the Ballerina (cryptosicko), Sunday, 25 March 2018 17:09 (six years ago) link
In that, one I probably don't agree with (but just as likely don't have enough info on), and the other is despicable.

showing up on a video clip for an org that has a history of being for gun restrictions, but only when black men show up with guns, seems like a bad move
― mh, Sunday, 25 March 2018 17:10 (six years ago) link
from a good thread picking apart the appearance
Overall thoughts. People who are drawing a comparison between Killer Mike on NRATV and Leftists on Fox News are incorrect. This is not really a nuanced conversation on Gun control or the history of Black gun owners, it's sole purpose is to have a black face parrot talking points— The People v.

Brandon Sutton is black, you absolute moron.
Anyway, RL Stephens takes a different tack.
The truth is that when NAACP leader Robert F Williams organized a community defense program against the Klan in NC in the 50’s, the group was chartered by the NRA. This story is more complicated and politically contested than we often acknowledge.— R.L. Stephens (@RLisDead) March 25, 2018

the NRA in the fifties was not the NRA of the '90s and today. I'm sure the Tweet feed goes into this discussion.

WOW so was the person who said this
"We've got to take the neighborhood back. We've got to go in there. Just forget telling your child to go to the Peace Corps. It's right around the corner. It's standing on the corner. It can't speak English. It doesn't want to speak English. I can't even talk the way these people talk. "Why you ain't where you is go." I don't know who these people are. And I blamed the kid until I heard the mother talk. Then I heard the father talk. This is all in the house. You used to talk a certain way on the corner and you got into the house and switched to English. Everybody knows it's important to speak English except these knuckleheads. You can't land a plane with "why you ain't…". You can't be a doctor with that kind of crap coming out of your mouth. There is no Bible that has that kind of language. Where did these people get the idea that they're moving ahead on this? Well, they know they're not, they're just hanging out in the same place, five or six generations sitting in the projects when you're just supposed to stay there long enough to get a job and move out."

I said nothing about "exoneration." It's a fact that the NRA before 1968 was a different organization.

There's a lot here that makes sense, even if the timeline doesn't quite clear up his "march right out of the house" remark, but I still question the very idea of appearing on "NRA-TV" (which I didn't even know existed until today).

Mentioned this on Twitter yesterday but how do these dudes get a free pass for "fuckboy"? Pretty clearly a homophobic term, they use it all the time, still get glittering press in Pitchfork etc. I know it's an issue in rap in general but seems especially glaring for RTJ who seem to have little to no audience outside the indie market.― Immediate Follower (NA), Thursday, 9 October 2014 15:33 (six years ago) link

is kinda funny that ILX went from tut-tutting the usage of the word cos of their collective incorrect understanding of what it meant to using it, if not often, at least 'regularly', if I use ILX search to confirm (which I just did)

where is the outrage over "punk" which is far less ambiguous? or all the dick sucking stuff. which I'd have hoped these dudes would have grown out of
tbf I do recall at least el-p using the bad f word in the past but (no excuse) that was rampant back then. I still wish he would stick to making beats. which I feel used to be a more common opinion than it is now
I first heard fuckboy in reference to people like bieber & if anything it was about overbearing heterosexuality as well as general dickheadery. it could have a homophobic resonance on occasion but there's far more blatant stuff surely
― Left, Thursday, 15 July 2021 12:47 (two years ago) link
lol i had no idea 'punk' originally was a homophobic term
searching around and it seems like 'fuckboy' did sometimes have homophobic connotations in the past but that usage had largely disappeared or been overshadowed as it got popularised as a slang term last decade

About 20 years ago a couple of dumb redneck guys were often at the lake house down the road from my inlaws and they would set off fireworks late at night and constantly yell "FUCK" all the time so my wife and her family all started calling anyone who was loud out in the woods 'the fuck boys'.
I was super confused when I heard the first RTJ record and didn't know how they picked up slang that my 50-something midwestern mother-in-law invented.

you can go back just a couple of years earlier in the killer mike discography and find some much-less-veiled homophobic terms. "fuckboy" is a step up.
