A drunk woman with a criminal past decides to make crude remarks toward African Americans until one of them decides to confront her and her friends. Then when he has his say, he turns to walk away but gets slapped by her a couple of times before striking back. There are always two sides to a story and generally both…

She also denied that she called Mixon a racial slur, an assesment with which Norman PD Detective David Freudiger agreed.

Neither person’s actions were justified. Real fucking complicated stuff.

You’re 50% correct! It’s possible to acknowledge that both parties are at fault here.

She put her hands on him first. Don’t forget that. They were both wrong for putting their hands on someone. Unfortunately, she got the worst of it.

wrong, she did hit him first. its even in the video for christ sake.

“he hurt my feelings, so I decided to hit him a bunch of times”

Sorry, Mr. Howard, but Macklemore isn’t any worse than guys like Meek Mill or Juicy J or any other shitty rapper I don’t know because I avoid their music. Hell, Jay-Z hasn’t been better than Macklemore in some time. In short, he’s far from the only shitty popular rapper. I agree that he should probably just get over…

There are, by my count, two ways to change these parameters: become a good rapper who makes good songs, or get out of the way to make space for someone who will.

Bullshit. Macklemore isn’t famous because he’s white, Macklemore is famous because his producer (Ryan Lewis) is fantastic. I don’t care who you are, if you can’t shake your ass to Thrift Shop, Ceiling Can’t Hold Us, etc. then you might as well be dead.

We are a government OF the people BY the people, it’s in the Preamble, and last time I checked the people at Deadspin are people. Although it is a close call so maybe that was your joke, if so good one.

I don’t know a single person who likes Macklemore because he’s “clean”

So 14th amendment good, First Amendment bad, got it.

...become a good rapper who makes good songs, or get out of the way to make space for someone who will.

So he should either stop making music/money, or start performing in a way that is better than the way that made him ultra-successful?
