Make it plain.
No other race degrades themselves on a REGULAR bases that way Black folks do on film and in certain rap/hiphop material. Perry using that sorry ass excuse about "bait" is BULLSH*T.

That's a FACT JACK.

I wish with ALL my strength to disagree with you,,,,,but I know its the cold blooded truth, like Uptown said once, we're our worst own enemies.

Mind you, there're MANY who try to upgrade themselves from that backwarded bullshit though, make no mistake.

Everyone is talking about how Tyler Perry uses stereotypical characters, yet I see some rather stereotypical lingo being used here, by the very same folks complaining about Tyler. Although I respect many of you, at the same time, you're using the same kind of lingo some of Tyler's characters use, and that you are complaining about. So why complain about him, when you're displaying the same type of "lingo" some of Tyler's stereotypical characters use? I mean there is a time when some of us should sit down and check ourselves for a minute, you know what I mean. I mean no disrespect at all though.

It's like ranting and raving about using the "n" word, but then some of you turn around and find another way of using that "n" word in a different form, but get mad if someone outside of your race do it. I'm just pointing out like what Gray said, as sometimes Black folk can be their own worst enemies...and yes I said it, and even though I did, and still respect most of you though.arrow

I don't see anything endearing about any of those terms. I watched the "Autobiography of Jane Pittman" this weekend, as I've seen it several times, and it reminded me of real life stories and how many Black Americans and Africans were degraded with the use of that word, to the point where the ones calling them that, confused it as being that individual's "first name."

May I kindly and respectfully remind some folks that none of the triple "n's" would ever become President of the United States or ever be a positive role model There's nothing cute or endearing about either term, because no matter how many ways you twist and shape either of those terms, they all mean the same.

The N word will never die....not ever. You know this is true. The word bitch will never die either. Some people hold on to words like they hold onto their own lives.

For all folks know, the president and first lady may have used all them words in their former lives. To me, the intent of the word is what determines whether it's an insult or not. shrug

I used to use those terms too, but I will not anymore. Self-respect comes first. It's like contributing to the degradation of females, yet having a fit because you don't like being called one, but then to still turn around and use it?? No, I don't think so.

no body ever says anything about judd apatow who has written and directed such white trash flicks as:

knocked up
talledega nights
40 year old virgin
superbad
step brothers


confused


I like him boxed lol



And it's perfectly okay. I liked a few of those movies too.
White directors can do comedies and add a little buffoonery to
it without Stephen Spielberg jumping down their throats.
lol
I don't see why Tyler can't make people laugh and add messages
of love and hope to it as well without all the coonery charges.
It is perfectly okay if folks feel that way but don't just challenge
Tyler put the onus on other black directors too and rap/r&b music.
I see a different standard in music however because no matter the
level of coonery or stereotype as long as it's something that you
can shake your ass too,folks still go out and support it.
Don't laugh at my funk
This funk is a serious joint

bawl No, don't make me, I can't! shake I ain't gon' let go, no matter what ya'll say. hmph!

Sometimes you gotta use a "nucca" or "nigga" when no other word will do. It's just apropos depending on the context and I ain't got time to find a replacement. I mean, what can you say when somebody says some dumb shit other than: "Nucca, puhleaze???" rolleyes

No other phrase captures the essence of skepticism as good as this. lol

Well, everyone is entitled to their own opinion and we ain't got to agree, which is what I've said all along. As for whatever "lingo" I choose to use I really don't care what anyone thinks about it cuz I'm grown and it ain't that serious to me. That doesn't preclude me from having an opinion on Tyler or anything else for that matter and it doesn't diminish my opinion.

Obviously I don't care how others view my using the word or else I'd censor myself and I choose not to. Black folks aren't all offended or take issue with the same things. So I don't care, just as I'm sure Tyler couldn't care less about what his detractors think about him. shrug

Too many words and the eyeroll ain't as effective. lol

If you want to submit another phrase for serious consideration it's gotta be 4 syllables or less. geek
