You are laughable. You are profiting of the privilege of being able to write stupid shit like “traditional black space.” Half of your content exist specifically because you are black. If you had any real sense you would opt out and let better white writers do create content. If this sounds stupid, you might have a…

Is ‘wallowing’ in it just doing what he likes to do? Progress isn’t a zero sum proposition. Macklemore can but ‘guilty’ of privilege and cultural appropriation and still do something about it.

Greg is a hack. Opting out isn't the answer.

But if he commits ritual suicide out of shame, he’ll be appropriating samurai culture.

It’s pretty hard to get the hipster crowd to back Macklemore vs anyone, but it looks like you’ve accomplished it. Well done.

How is white privilege any different than Deadspin hiring you because you’re black? You are clearly the worst writer on staff.

“So he has two choices: Don’t acknowledge his privilege and be bad, or do acknowledge his privilege and quit doing what he loves.”

I did that every day to gawker writers until they banned me. This website is filled with no talent ass clowns and yet here you are, being pandered to.

Because I don’t care, dimwit.

oh let me fix your statement for you: “I don’t agree with what he says or represents so I think he should go away because his views are not in line with mine”

He should stop making music that people like because he’s white?

I think Greg is mostly bitter because Macklemore is a better rapper than Greg is a writer.

The SJWs want blood.

Will you give up your income, sucker?

Yeah, right. Why don’t you donate all your money and go live in momma’s basement?

Should the mainly terrible white writers at Deadspin quit to make room for writers of color?

So he has two choices: Don’t acknowledge his privilege and be bad, or do acknowledge his privilege and quit doing what he loves.

Of course then he’d get blasted for not addressing and don’t pretend he wouldn’t.

If Macklemore has to apologize for white privilege for his success then all rap artists of any color have to apologize for benefitting from white privilege. All successful rap artists of any color would be unsuccessful rap artists if it weren’t for white people buying their music.

Worse than the guy at the blackjack table who constantly calls it poker?
