Wasn't
this done like 9 years ago in Bamboozled? Well it was a message
that was similar.
While I totally agree rap has become nothing
more than a gold, diamond, and platinum promotional tool run by money
hungry assholes. I just don't like the fact they are in black
face and being the "white" stereotypes from so long ago.
I like rap, I love it, but not most of the popular crap,
Hurricane Chris is nothing more than slight amusement to me. I
love artists, and I stress the word artists, like Tech N9ne and Krizz
Kaliko. They have true talent and are almost completely ignored, or
have been ignored. Their albums speak of personal hardships,
relationships, they have silliness, they are poetic, political, and
are complied of many different styles. While MTV rap
seems to lack even a hint of originality and the main topic is
money.
I guess this is like me talking about being
Rastafarian, it's really not my place. They are movements which
were created for a culture which many may not understand and both are
poetic movements which are supposed to empower and bring those people
with similar backgrounds together.
But it fucking
annoys me that some how whenever a whitey says something even close
to racist they get hate spewed at them, but making fun of whitey is
ok. You can call someone a "honky" on tv but "nigga"
is censored.
So they may not be making fun of white
people, but black face and watermelon are racist stereotypes that
should not be hidden from culture, but definitely not be abused in
such a manner. You want to get your message out yes, but you
could have done it with a bath tub of diamonds or some other money
type satirical humor. Plus it's not the white people who made
the industry that way, it was greed from all races.
We should
really reinforce the "all men were created equal thing"
teach that shit in schools at a young age. Black, white,
yellow, blue, or green it doesn't fucking matter. Which is why
EVERY race should be trying their hardest to eliminate racism and not
let the wrong messages get sent out to people to reinforce
stereotypes.
The video is funny, and I do agree with the
message to an extent...I just wish it didn't ALWAYS have to come down
to race.
And I might as well mention this fucking
commercial that fucking reinforces idiotic goth stereotypes.
While
I've never really considered myself gothic many others do, because
I'm dark. Most prefer "gothlick", haha, anyways since
I've always be perceived as being goth, people automatically assumed
I was a witch, satanist, lesbian, vampire, freakshow, drug addict,
pretending it was Halloween all year round, ect. I was even
told I looked like the Predator once, which I actually took more as a
compliment than an insult....Alien Love.<33 Anyways for
these reasons I hate this commercial.
IT
FUCKING IRRITATES ME EVERYTIME I SEE IT!
First of all, WTF is
that bitch doing shopping at what looks to be a Hot Topic?
Secondly, Gordmans DOES NOT sell the same brands that Hot Topic
sells, not once have I seen Lip Service or Tripp at Gordmans.
What pisses me off is the obviously poorly chosen actress to play the
"goth" chick, the fact anyone is a dumb enough cunt to cut
a t-shirt up is annoying too. PISS ON YOU!
It's
similar to those roommate goth kid commercials a few years ago.....
