[QUOTE="ShadowSD:1129200"][QUOTE="poopshit:1129135"]oh, the the irony of those complaining about people copying black styles... ever heard of this style of music called "rock'n'roll"? shamelessly ripped from black guys. clearly, the irony is lost on the douches complaining here that your favorite music, metal, came from all of this. do you use the word "cool"? do you call your friends "man"? then you're copying black styles.[/QUOTE] Copying black styles is fine. Mocking black stereotypes isn't. Have we completely lost all ability to see the line? I'll make it simple: As a white guy, if I went outside right now hamming up the most exaggerated imitation of the accent and mannerisms of the worst Asian American or Indian or Jewish or Native American poverty stereotypes, I'd rightfully be looked at as a jackass at the very least. If I went outside and hammed up the the most exaggerated imations of the accent and mannerisms of the worst African American poverty stereotypes, people would assume I was talking street and so it's OK. Don't you see something wrong with that? There's something seriously wrong with that negative sort of exception, and pointing that out is not a "dislike for black people" or "black styles", quite the contrary. By the way, I say cool and man ALL the time. However, I don't say yo yo yo what's up my nigger, because I don't want to be confused with all the suburban whites of my age and younger who fail to see how that's offensive given that whites enslaved blacks on this continent for hundreds of years. Must they also be endlessly mocked and parodied as a commercial commodity for spoiled rich white kids with no respect or sense of history? The blues worked their way from African Americans to Americans of all races in a completely organic and normal fashion; on the other hand, the more recent planned marketing of poor black culture to affluent white teens by even more affluent white executives really had nothing to do with art or music at all, it began in a corporate boardroom, and was a targeted commercial campaign that ultimately made it acceptable for rich white kids to openly imitate a caricature of poor urban blacks until the guise of reverance. I don't find such supposed reverance the least bit credible or respectful.[/QUOTE]
