Taylor Swift Is "Perpetuating Black Stereotypes"

[hubb]

The forced educational facility he went to is likely to be the same as general prison where I'm from.

ps

she looks like an even scrawneyer Gwyneth

Forced?

You realize he went there because his mum made him?
It's like supernanny or some shit lol

It falls back on your ability to comprehend the important bit in my argument.


If Earl were to haul himself in the midst of a media discussion where his part is trying out a really constructed attempt at a deformation of her character her being a protected culture rolemodel icon and all, then something like that will still paint him like I said.

Lol shes perpetuating black stereotypes by making a video that looks like (from that stillframe) any1 of any many black artist's videos.

Parodying the coonery that is BET still perpetuates stereotypes.

[hubb]

It's hard to argue that it is parody though.

[nobody]

does anyone here think the video is actually racist?

[Harkat]

There's a bit with some asses in it. There's also a bit where she's dressed in stereotypical hip hop uniform.

TBH I only watched about two minutes but I don't get what's racist or perpetuating stereotypes in it.

the whole get on twitter & call a white person perpetuating black stereotypes thing is blah

if youre really upset about it earl, go make talib kweli facebook posts everyday


isnt all their favorite hip hop guys clipse? who made every video in the hood about selling crack

[sixs]

nah but the utter state of her in it can't stop looking at the screen cap

[kidshuffle]

Even if its not a parody, you know they're doing that to at least be ironic. You know it.

Do you guys think Tyler is a racist for doing white face? I can't imagine the response if a white person did black face for a music video. Or is it different?

It's different. Black people are allowed to do white face as it's societies way of apologising and giving them a ruffle of the hair for centuries of oppression. For further evidence;



Can't see this being allowed if it was a couple of white actors dressing up like black women.


It's the same reason Israel is allowed to do whatever the fuck it wants and the everyone turns a blind away as a way of alleviating their guilt about the holocaust. The sooner the western world gets over that and gives Israel the bitch slap it deserves, the better.

So not being able to dress up in blackface is basically like being bombed by the Irsaelis, got it.

In a way it's worse! think about it

Not what I said at all.

[Harkat]

Ok, you used the analogy of "Isreal's behaviour is some bullshit, but is tolerated on account of past persecution" to describe why it's acceptable for black people to perform in white-face but not vice versa.

[kidshuffle]

Dressing in black face (which black people also did btw) for minstrel shows was a way to dehumanize the black race...I dont see why anyone wouldn't even bring up whiteface as any sort of racism, especially considering how little its been done

[hubb]

Wubs was a weird analogy but perfectly applicapable.

@ Nobody

You can never really compare the two because one is quite the minority.

I would argue that it's almost ok for afro americans to still be racist in 2014.

I would be offended if the accepted and used term for me was scandi american.

[wub]

tolerated on account of past persecution

Yes.

However, we must be mindful of concept of scale here. I am in no way suggesting that the two examples are equal at all.

Who exactly are they allowed to be racist to? Just white people? Anyone who's not black?

[Harkat]

tolerated on account of past persecution

Yes.

I got that. You're saying it's the same in principle though, which I don't agree with.

[hubb]

I did an edit btw


But yeah that is a really profound question tbh, but the answer is more positive than you would expect, because the functioning principle in racism is not directed hatred towards a specific group although everybody and their mum says that.
It's actually to not include someone - the exclusion itself, because it's in societal terms and not on the individual level that matters, and even the accepted lingual term afro- something is excluding, right?
So in that sence afro-americans aren't included on the same terms yet.

It's also just on a quick math level more understandable because their group is smaller. Which means there's a slower frequency of any form of unique exchange.
