What's your itinerary the next few months? And when we do meet, it has to be in a public place with lots of other people so I feel safe.

You're in detroit so we'd have to throw Nathan and Adrea into the mix.
Andrea and I start giggling like schoolgirls after only 2 minutes though.

Quite a few and a few new additions this year. I might right a book



1. 'Kramer' from Seinfield recently lost his temper and repeatedly called an audience member the N word at his comedy show

2. Amy Winehouse got wasted and sang a very racist song that dehumanised black, South Asian, East Asian and Central Asian People

3. Cheryl Tweedy from British pop girl band Girls Aloud racially abused a Nigerian toilet attendant in a London night Club

4. Mel Gibson blamed Jewish people for all the wars and misery on earth

I bet I can think of more..

I once got an email from someone stating that we shouldn't buy any of Tommy Hilfigers clothes because he had said that he did not want black people to wear his clothes.

I wondered if that was true because I've seen lots of colored celebrities wearing his clothes.

Beginning in 1997, Hilfiger was subject to a vicious e-mail and word-of-mouth rumor claiming he made racist statements on The Oprah Winfrey Show saying he wished certain minorities would not wear his clothes.[7] This was nothing more than a hoax because not only did both Hilfiger and Oprah deny this ever happened, but up to that point Hilfiger was never a guest on her show. Eventually in 2007, Hilfiger appeared on The Oprah Winfrey Show specifically to address the rumor.[8] Despite the allegation being completely untrue, it remains an e-mail rumor.

I'm not a MySpace pimp like that. I made exceptions in an extremely small number of cases (not PLENTY) because we had already conversed privately to a point where I felt the same effect had been achieved as if I had met them--which was that I ascertained they weren't weirdos.

Of course that means I could meet Dan one day and still not be MySpace friends with him afterward.

That's really presumptious of you.

In one way, yes....I don't know the guy, never met him and never talked to him. Heck, I had never seen his face for a long time to know whether he was black or white, his hair & hat always covered his face completely....
In another way, if he was so aware of him being black and was proud of it (as he can), he would never have recorded this song when Axl delivered the lyrics. Slash & Axl have fussed about issues that were way less important than this.....

First of all, "colored" you do know it's 2008 almost 2009 right?

Secondly, that was an urban legend. He never said this and in fact got his start as a designer working with many black celebs in the 70s including Earth, Wind and Fire.

1) ok, so it's just black, not colored. I thought colored sounded more normal.
2) That's what I thought. I got it from a black collegue and she was pissed at him, I thought it was strange

ps did you already receive that car that was gonna be shipped from Germany?

First of all, are you black? If you're not, I seriously doubt you can teach me anything about being black. Obviously, you're the one that has a lot to learn because

1. Ain't nobody debatin' that Prince looks and sounds a fool trynta rap.

2. My point is that "nigga, please" is not a phrase that's exclusive to hip-hop and has in fact been in use in black culture for probably 100 years.

3. Although it may be offensive to YOU, it's impossible for the phrase to be racist when used by a black man.

And since you said that wack shit 4. It's ridiculous for you to say that Prince embraced his "black race" when it became cool cuz anyone who's been listening to his music KNOWS different. double- You're obviously seeing what you wanna see when it comes to P so I ain't got nothin' left to say to ya on this topic.

the famous scene when P is talking 2 Tricky in UTCM & says 'he's a what officer'...U know he's referring 2 the N word right...then P wants 2 distance himself from black folk..'butterscotch, chocolate..no way'

We are talking about a man who 4 decades denied he was black and told people in was mixed, Italian whatever but not black
A guy who has worn skin lightening make up 4 the past 30 years and who wants 2 re-invent himself as some1 without ethnicity...and people are hard on poor MJ lol

sexyAuntyFuka said:

Just a quick correction; his line was "He said what officer?"

More:

Elvis Costello - Called James Brown and Ray Charles the n-word while drunk having a conversation with another artist. He later said he was purposely being outrageous at the time and didn't mean it.

Eric Clapton - Supposedly told a crowd at a concert to "keep Britain white" and support Conservative minister Enoch Powell who was anti-immagration.

Siouxsie and The Banshees - Siouxsie wore swastika armbands at early punk shows for shock value. The band later recorded their hit song "Israel" as a kind of apology and to turn away the slowly growing number of neo-nazis at their gigs.

Heard about the other two, but this is my first time hearing about Eric Clapton. Hope it's just a rumor.

AnckSuNamun said:

I had heard the Clapton rumor years ago and then looked it up for this thread. It's all over the internet: http://en.wikiquote.org/w...ic_Clapton

Do we have any foreigners in the audience tonight? If so, please put up your hands. Wogs I mean, I'm looking at you. Where are you? I'm sorry but some fucking wog...Arab grabbed my wife's bum, you know? Surely got to be said, yeah this is what all the fucking foreigners and wogs over here are like, just disgusting, that's just the truth, yeah. So where are you? Well wherever you all are, I think you should all just leave. Not just leave the hall, leave our country. You fucking (indecipherable). I don't want you here, in the room or in my country. Listen to me, man! I think we should vote for Enoch Powell. Enoch's our man. I think Enoch's right, I think we should send them all back. Stop Britain from becoming a black colony. Get the foreigners out. Get the wogs out. Get the coons out. Keep Britain white. I used to be into dope, now I'm into racism. It's much heavier, man. Fucking wogs, man. Fucking Saudis taking over London. Bastard wogs. Britain is becoming overcrowded and Enoch will stop it and send them all back. The black wogs and coons and Arabs and fucking Jamaicans and fucking (indecipherable) don't belong here, we don't want them here. This is England, this is a white country, we don't want any black wogs and coons living here. We need to make clear to them they are not welcome. England is for white people, man. We are a white country. I don't want fucking wogs living next to me with their standards. This is Great Britain, a white country, what is happening to us, for fuck's sake? We need to vote for Enoch Powell, he's a great man, speaking truth. Vote for Enoch, he's our man, he's on our side, he'll look after us. I want all of you here to vote for Enoch, support him, he's on our side. Enoch for Prime Minister! Throw the wogs out! Keep Britain white!

(These statements were allegedly made on stage by a heavily drunk Clapton during a concert in Birmingham, UK, in 1976. Clapton is referring to British anti-immigration Conservative MP Enoch Powell. Clapton later made similar further comments to the audience later in the evening. Clapton has never denied making these statements and has refused to apologise for his remarks or distance himself from them, although he denies that his views are racist and states that he is merely an opponent of mass immigration. This incident was the main inspiration for the formation of Rock Against Racism).

Ain't that a bitch??? He didn't have a problem with Jamaicans when he was bitin I shot the sheriff.

I would like to think now that he is older and wiser that his opinions have changed on the subject. I never liked Clapton anyway.
