I had no idea that nigga was a taboo word for some 15 years from the moment I first heard it. I understood immediately that you should not call a black person a nigga or nigger under any circumstances, but the idea that the word is taboo, in any context(in fact even referencing it when talking about it is considered…

The fact is no one knows unless they are educated about it. It’s a double standard. And double standards don’t come naturally to people. Why would they?

Your phrase “shitty station in Duluth” could not possibly have set up that clip better than it did. One of my all-time favorite news bloopers.

Uh, I resent that assumption.

Well, when you commodify a racial slur and reap the financial benefits from people other than black, don’t be surprised when people use that same slur flippantly. I don’t agree with it, it’s not fair, but there it is.

Did someone say Duluth shipper?

The God Damn President of France used Niggas in Paris for his campaign commercial/victory video.

That is a very weird word. it’s tossed around in songs, used as a greeting, used as a hateful thing, taboo to some, and fine from others.
If nobody wanted it ever said or used then why the fuck is it said an used not just publicly, but also in pop culture, in songs, and movies too.

I’ve said it before: Hip hop has put the word out there worldwide because of its influence.

Jesus Christ, man.

Old people tell each other how beautiful their grandkids are, how beautiful the kid that mows their lawn is, how beautiful the girl that cuts their hair is, etc.

Would be different if he walked up to the girls and said, “oh, you’re…

Blogger Caught Describing Mic As “Hot”

Hmmmmm, I dunno. This is a pretty “elderly man” thing to say about young women and young girls. I’ve had strangers (usually older/elderly) tell me my toddler daughter is beautiful and it probably wasn’t because they wanted to fuck her.

I might believe this if this wasn’t the exact same House bill that the Senate shot down last Thursday. There are literally no changes from when they voted NO last Thursday.

“Then in 2-4 years when the country rights itself...”

I’d give anything to be this optimistic. 

She always looks like she’s having the time of her life to me. She treats the press with absolute contempt, doesn’t even try to hide that she enjoys it, and obviously Trump loves her for it since she’s been in the position for a lot longer than Spicer/Mooch and, to my knowledge, has never criticized her.

Make a simple, straightforward path to US citizenship for any DACA recipients. That’s my idea of a real solution to this particular immigration issue.
