Quote from: merithyn on July 01, 2013, 12:03:08 PMWhich part of this contradicts what I said? I said that the case wasn't about the n-word (which you seem to agree with), that her brother was a prime asshole (which you also seem to agree with), and that the accusations weren't pretty (which they aren't - and you seem to agree with).

In fact, you just used a whole lot more words (as is your wont) to say the same thing.

Right, and what I didn't do was present it as though all of this stuff actually happened. You quite clearly were in total ignorance that the complaint was just one party's assertions, and not based on anything verified at that point by any third parties. Even bringing it up is an irrelevancy, especially since some of it has been contradicted by the plaintiff subsequently.

It seems they have not listened to much rap since the 1980s.  It is basically pop music now.

:yes:

Rap/Hip-Hop is essentially pop made by black people.

Okay, Otto.

I met a man who wasn't there
He wasn't there again today
I wish, I wish he'd go away...

Syt, are you saying racism against whites is not racism, but justice?

I think he is questioning the thesis that rap and hip hop is racist against whites not that racism against whites is not racism.

Actually, I'm questioning my sister's common sense. :P

Okay, Otto.
As an outside observer, it did seem this way.

I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011
