IRONIC RAP IS TERRIBLE LOOKING AT YOU MACKLEMORE
It’s rebellion. They’ve been told they shouldn’t do something so they do it with glee. And a lot of people simply don’t suscribe to the “under no circumstances can you say the n-word” idea.
It’s always rubbed me wrong too (though it’s cousin, white-people-singing-acoustic-folk-covers-of-rap-songs is worse), somehow even more so when it because such a successful gimmick. Mac Lethal, for example, built a fairly successful indie career with a loyal fanbase grinding it out, then all of a sudden started…
Because white people want to make all the rules about what people can do and say of course silly.
I’m still stunned at the takes I’ve read re: this on Deadspin. A shocking (I guess I shouldn’t be shocked) number of people saying it’s fine to sing ‘nigga’ or ‘nigger’, if it so happens to be in some song they listen to. It’s almost as if many have been looking for and finally found a ‘workaround’ to be able to say…
Yes there is an important distinction between chanting and “singing along to”. When I first read the headline I was expecting another “SAE Frat Bus” situation. What I saw was a group of girls arguably being problematic and not a bunch of racist assholes. The headline tried to make them seem like a bunch of racist…
I’m going to be perfectly honest about what I, a Deadspin consumer, did and would have done.

So what, did you look at the Stephon Clark articles and think “Too challenging for me, better slam my head against the keyboard to make some #thinkpiece drivel!”
Question: if Samer were to read his own article out loud, would that be racist because he’s not a black person but felt it was ok to write it out in his article?
The best way to make said request to this dickhole is probably just grabbing his employee file from Deadspin’s Human Resources room and looking at the contact info.
You, the voter, are stupid. You are easily manipulated. You are mathematically illiterate. Your overwhelming…
The trouble?
“worth the trouble”
When I first saw this headline on another website, I figured this would be really dumb lip service from Johnny manziel, but that was actually a nuanced and well thought out opinion that I have a lot of respect for.... huh.
Manzplaining.
My favorite building contractor story is when our roofer went on a diatribe about the thieves his security camera had picked up when they came to his shop building late one night to steal his copper gutters. What really irked him morally wasn’t so much that they stole the gutters, but that one of the thieves…
the men offered to pay him $10,000 and promised to introduce him to Bannon
