Uggs, Birkenstocks, AND Crocs? You are not able to be saved. Go forth, crazy hobo. Go forth and live.

Oh, how cute. Lets be dismissive and accuse me of being dumb because you don't believe in a fact. Granted, not every Egyptian is 100% black. Many Egyptians are of mixed race, but the fact is that many of them do have African blood in them. Don't believe me? Look it up.

...it's an African country.

"I know a (insert minority here) and they say it's ok!"

White girl here. What in the ever loving fuck is up with white chicks and their obsession with cultural appropriation?! WHAT?! I do nottttt understandddd thisssss.

You don't see how it affects people so it's ok? What a way to live.

I don't know who's more annoying and more racist (not that those two things are mutually exclusive: her or Miley Cyrus. On one hand, they're both racist. On the other hand, at least Miley Cyrus appropriates one culture? Whereas Katy has appropriated hip hop, Japanese, and now Egyptian culture. I feel like she knows at…

Hillary should take her head out of her ass. "On a crappy song"??? That shows she lacks critical nuisance. This song is so textured and interesting for Nicki at this point in her career. It's also not the first time she's said the she has "raped" someone. So to make a moot point about the heinous use of it this…

you really don't see the blatant racism of what you wrote? you're either incredibly obtuse or a piece of shit

And, by the way, the n-word has still continually been used as a slur to this day. Yes, it started with slavery — but it didn't end with slavery. I'm really not sure why you're even choosing this historical example at all, and as someone who will NEVER feel the brunt and pain of being a black person who is called the…

You sound plenty butt-hurt already. Do you honestly fucking think that you needed to be picking cotton in the south to be called a nigger? Here's £5 (since you are of Scottish descent but not actually Scottish. My husband just loves people like you). Go buy a clue.

Somebody forgot the memo that calling someone the n-word is NOT the same as calling someone "cracker": http://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/kathl…

Girl, you do sound butt hurt. Black people are not a monolith and 40 million cannot be held responsible for the actions of a few. Trying to equate being called a "honkey" at the drive thru to being called a nigga is lame, next thing you are going to tell me is that reverse racism is real.

if you're not black, this really just isn't your concern. that simple.

Personally, I'd rather see a more in-depth discussion of the song, because it's about much more than the rape reference, which I don't appreciate, to be clear. I don't think discussions about music have to be "This is 100 percent bad" or "This is 100 percent good."

Okay, so the rape line is horrible because it is. There's no real excuse why she would even go there. I'm not here for that.

A post discussing some valid critiques of a successful black woman and the comments section devolves into shitting on rap music, making fun of her style and presentation, and declarative statements about how she isn't talented anyway.

This song is actually very empowering for young women, especially black women. What she actually talks about in this song is how some men not all, try to act big and present themselves as"ballers" and kings putting themselves up on a pedestal above women, when they actually are lames and doing stupid criminal things…

No. Not all of the time. Do better.
