Yeah, so I was thinking the same thing. JT ain’t soul-ish or even soul-adjacent. Like many a white man, he’s a pop star who uses soul and R&B elements in his music to get airplay.

So we calling him soul-ish? Calling him soul-adjacent is even a stretch. He sounds like a white man behind black beats.

Years ago, my brother was riding in a car with some friends at night. My brother is black, but light skinned enough that you might mistake him for white in low light. The rest of the kids were white. During a traffic stop, the driver of the car DROPPED A BAG OF WEED ON THE COP’S FOOT. And then my brother watched in…

Like I have that white friend I hung out with for years and I didn’t have the realization of “Oh! You’re white!” until we’re hanging out late one night in Salt Lake City (long story, also late in SLC is 10pm), half drunk and hopped up on Aderoll AND THIS FOOL WALK UP TO A COP AND ASKS HIM FOR DIRECTION TO A BAR.

And…

My wife used to be one of those “I don’t see color” types. She’s white. I’m brown. Her tuned changed when I changed her statement and started saying, “Honey, I don’t see gender” when talking about equality for women. She FINALLY gets it.

The trash NFL is now trying to pull back from this 2014 statement:“As for potential acts — we have only ruled out Janet Jackson.” by saying this after getting dragged all up and down the interwebs: http://ew.com/music/2017/10/23/nfl-janet-jackson-not-banned-justin-timberlake-backlash/

What happened to Janet after the Superbowl is a disgrace. The fact that Timberlake skated clean and now even jokes about it is White America at its purest.

Man, I have no interest in South Park anymore and I haven’t watched it in years. When I was a kid I had a similar experience - “ooh, I’m getting away with something, I’m watching something I shouldn’t watch” - but that’s an inherently childish reason to enjoy something and as an adult that isn’t gonna do it for me.…

Then again talking and compromising to Nazis didn’t solve WW2. Take you centrist bullshit somewhere else.

Ah yes, life as an straight, cis-gendered African-American male in this Western European influenced culture. Continual demands that you apologize for the crimes (real and imagined) of people who may (or may not) look like you. To no avail. You’ll be killed (figuratively, metaphorically or literally) anyway.

I wrote this comment on the great column Maiysha Kai wrote discussing “Intimate partner Violence”.

Seems like the root is becoming more and more anti black male. Very sad. It sucks they are joining the other Gawkmondo properties in creating a white friendly version of progressiveness that’s easy to gluten-sensitive white digestive tracks because we can still hate black men and be woke.

Don’t even try to pull that sort of nonsensical bullshit as if there’s anything remotely similar in weight of a black person calling another black person the n-word (with an entirely different pronunciation and spelling [which actually matters!]) compared to a white person who says it.

Counterpoint: it’s shitty to say it in private or in front of others. It’s also shitty to brag about it. It’s also shitty to think it is cathartic. I don’t need to psychoanalyze you to understand you’ve a pretty shitty take on this all around.

If saying the n word is “cathartic” to you, then... Well, I don’t even know what to add to that except that you’re a dumbshit racist.

Even in private, I would probably take that out of your rotation. Keep letting it rattle around in your mind, and you’re at risk of running into one of these scenarios, and you don’t want to be the guy who occasionally drops the N-bomb. Practice the way you play, and all that. I get frustrated and angry all the time…

Nope. You’re a piece of shit racist.

I like how you attempted to dismiss my effort in calling out your tactics as being some weak ass psychoanalyzation of you and people like you, yet everything you’ve done so far has reinforced my point.

Yeah I get it. I’m always muttering about exterminating all non-whites but it’s only to myself so we’re totally cool, right?
