yeah that was a chris rock bit from like 15 years ago. I remember dudes in my '90s high school using it to justify they're own weird racism. I had a friend who said Michael Jordan was a black person and Shaquille O'Neal was, uh, the other.

dude, if u knew people like this growing up why is it a surprise that maybe ppl on twitter -- perhaps even 90% of ppl dropping n-bombs on twitter -- might genuinely be 'being racist'?

yes, kanye is a black black guy. yes, taylor is a white white girl. yes, kanye is kind of a dick. yes, racist assholes will take advantage of kanye's dickishness to try to make some badly formed "point". but taking an informal collection of twitter searches for "kanye+nigger" and offering it up as proof of a trend has the same level of journalistic thoroughness and integrity that the NYT shows with it's frequent "Guava Jelly shows up in 4.3 million google searches".
I dunno; this all seems really predictable and sad and tired and i'm not sure i see it as much more than "harry allen: discovering there are idiots on twitter" excepting the reasonable but obvious point that outright racism truly ought to be at least as repugnant to any right-thinking person as threatening someone with direct violence. Claiming that this is noteworthy because we're "living in postracial times" is silly; Allen knows as well as anyone that nobody spread pixie dust post Obama. Shit's getting more and more racist on the daily with all this "not my country" nonsense. What am I missing in that piece that has greater import?

In an infamous moment, after losing, Wu-Tang Clan member Ol' Dirty Bastard interrupted Shawn Colvin's Song of the Year acceptance speech to protest the loss in the Best Rap Album category, saying that he spent a lot of money on an expensive suit with expectations of winning, and proclaiming "Puffy is good and all, but Wu-Tang is better ... Wu-Tang is for the children".

I only just now learned what the meme was in forks' joke GIF post upthread ("Has anyone ever really been far even as decided to do more look like?"). not sure if it helps or hampers the classic LOL

at least partially feeling all conspiracy theory because (and this may tip my hand as being ignorant of popstuff - but...) i'd never heard of Taylor Swift until this incident, and informal polling around the office this morning has confirmed I'm not the only one.
now she's a household name.
