Heheheh, it seems like my posting style is still very popular around here. Y'all still ain't used to it. If arrogance is not suffering fools gladly, then so be it. You numbnuts don't bother me.


If y'all weren't so concerned about addressing my arrogance and lusting over a chance to zing me for past verbal ass whuppings I mercilessly, yet gleefully bestowed upon that ass, you would be able to get over your hard on for me and focus on my posts. Never did I belittle the Black American experience in America. To suggest otherwise betrays your idiocy. I explicitly wrote:




...So why BK is giving me static about a slight belittling of the Black American diaspora on my part, I have no idea. As for the rest of his schlocky post on the Black American experience, I ain't interested, son.


Then, I get BlockheadKing's static about me telling people what they can and can't get offended by. As I sip on this fine California Merlot, I wish to say to that: um, shaddup? Nowhere did I tell anybody what they can or can't be offended by! Here's my point again, lovers:

If you are genuinely concerned about the effects demeaning Black American art has on the Black American experience, in regards to this song and/or other many examples of contemporary Black coonery, then I apologize. Obviously my posts aren't directed towards you.

BUT!

If you came up in this thread, huffing and puffing and throwing your chest out about how this song is ridiculous! This song demeans Black America! This song shouldn't be played on the radio! This song supports awful Black stereotypes! This song is harmful to Black American culture! But you were shaking your ass in the club last night to "Drop It Like It's Hot" - YOU ARE A HYPOCRITE. And the reason why I thought this thread was full of it is because as I was reading the posts in the Pretty Ricky thong thread, nobody seemed to be offended by his example of another Black American minstrel acting a coon. Y'all were more concerned with his choice of coloured thong than the fact that another young, talented black man was on the internet, in a red/pink thong, grinding and licking his lips - no wonder the world thinks we're a fucken joke! Where was the righteous indignation over that clear example? Aren't we suppose to conduct ourselves more nobly than that? - simply because of the hurtful black stereotypes? You guys are focusing on one word and a coon's use of that word while letting other coons get home safe? Hypocrites. I'll call you out faster than a McDonald's pick up order at Oprah's.

If you don't like my opinion, come to Boston and let's sip on this Merlot together, the night is young! But one thing you know is that you'll never get a Chuckaducci opinion that's based out of his ass. I don't make posts so retards can applaud or stroke my ass. I make posts because I have an unique perspective; because I'm all heart baby!

First things first - reading comprehension must be an abandoned art. Because NOWHERE in my post did I defend the artistic merit of this song. I said it's as musically, artistically and lyrically vapid as most of Black American hip hop/pop music. So this statement is groundless.




Meh - this part of your post is a bit jumbled for me. But my point was the only reason folks were upset about this song is because of the word "slave" {as if Black Americans were the only people in history subjected to enslavement}. If he said instead "whip it good" while the lyrical content of the song remained, nobody would have cared to chastise the artists involved. I doubt an outcry from this board and a subsequent thread featuring Black musicians making music that is embarrassing or demeaning to our culture. I'm saying that is hypocritical and self-righteous! If you are going to attack one song for it's outright coonery, then attack them all. And although I do not haunt these boards as religiously as some of you do, I don't recall seeing threads about the culturally destructive minstrel elements of Lil' Wayne, Rick Ross, T-Pain, et al.

Like I said, y'all need to quit. Self-righteousness don't look good on you.

Songs like this make me glad that I grew up in a different era (the 70s) when we had "quality music" to enjoy.It's sad that today's kids are being exposed to crap like this.

Chuck,

Folks on this board -- Blaque, Harle, theAudience, Vendetta, I and scores of others -- regularly denounce and lament the sort of music associated with black artistry. Our records on what exemplifies music are pretty consistent.

So, with that said, there's no inconsistency in our denunciation of this latest black-exploitative single. Hard to see where the basis of the inconsistent, hypocritical charge lies.

Your arrogance isn't at issue. Your accuracy is.

I only had a problem with people who stated that they were outraged with the song in question, refused to listen to it, but then went over to the Pretty Ricky thread to watch the coon Pretty Ricky video.
