God, at this point, I genuinely believe he would. "I just wanna get paid" headass, when I get back to whipping beats again, the first one I'm dropping finna be called "Black Devon Hendryx"; and it's just gonna be me OPN-ing the 2nd verse of ALL CAPS NO SPACES, 'cause apparently the 🦝 forgot about those bars he wrote!
Exactly what the emoji implies, coon. In the past, JPEGMAFIA had very publically called Kanye out, had very loudly denounced Varg Vikernes and practically all of the white metalhead scene alongside him from TOOL fans to Lemmy himself, but now has no issues collabing with a deeply anti-Black Black man he's called out multiple times before while that man was wearing nazi merch, because "I just wanna get paid". That's removed shit. Same fuckin school of cosplay-leftist shit Michael Render's doing.
I'll even sum it up for you, 'cause you're giving me real 'sum up' vibes right now: it is not a slur, it is a label, the same way union members label scabs, the same way a woman will label a pick-me, the same way a skater will label a poser. Your take is either Donald Glover-goofy or straight up white; and while I'm not going to waste the time trying to diagnose it, it's not welcome around me.
I think this actually highlights the issues with using that term here - within the context of black american history and culture it's a label derived from people who betray their own interests by appearing in minstrel shows, like calling someone an Uncle Tom or Kapo, but in white american history and culture it's just a slur for all black people derived from blackface and minstrels shows, like the n word. While your username is pretty great, I can tell you for certain that usernames aren't necessarily true, so most posters won't know whether you're using it as a black or white person, and will only be familiar with the white context. Like, we all know why South Park thought it was so very funny to have Cartman be a raccoon themed superhero, but here in europe you don't really encounter much black american culture, so you just see the exported racist meaning.
but in white american history and culture it’s just a slur for all black people derived from blackface and minstrels shows, like the n word.
You've actually struck upon a discussion point I had with Othello where if I'm honest, I don't even regard the crackers that misuse it. Crackers misuse all of our vernacular, from the top down; so when it's in their mouths, I consider it just another display of flagrant ignorance that shouldn't be acquiesced to with regard to social settings. I mean shit, look at what white Tik-Tokers did to "gyatt". Look at what 4chan's been doing to "woke" since they found out about the Green Book. Letting crackers dictate what words we can and cannot say is allowing for the same kind of social colonialism they've spent 400 years pulling in the physical.

While this here's a fair enough point to raise, that's when I'd expect someone to actually do their research; to do some investigation. 'No investigation, no right to speech' is and has been my creed since I started reading Mao; and it's very easy to go back through my history, see all the threading I've been doing in Lemmygrad's Black spaces, how I've interacted in c/em_poc, the diction in general, and come to more or less an understanding. You're not wrong that usernames aren't necessarily always true; but at that point, that's where I see the would-be interrogator as having a further duty to perform that I don't think was done here, neither between the guy who obviously sent those reports in, or the mods who first responded.
I fully agree about white people using the term and investigation by both the reporter and mods, I more meant to highlight black non-americans (I'm specifically thinking of african immigrants and refugees and their descendants here in the UK) who have only encountered it used as a slur against them. I know a couple of my black friends have definitely had it used perojatively against them by white racists, and I feel fairly safe saying more have experienced it but never had a reason to tell me, but they don't have a personal connection to african-american culture and minstrel shows that makes it "their word" - basically I'm worried that in rightfully aiming to shut down white people you're in danger of also invalidating the feelings of black people with different histories of oppression.
Full disclosure, I am white white, so if this is just white peepoo nonsense say so, I just know my nonwhite friends have been hurt by its use.
Thanks for the clarification. I'd only ever seen the term used as an inter- (rather than intra-) racial term, and as such it always sounded really nasty. Now that I think about it, the term "Oreo" isn't seen as super offensive, but it clearly developed as slang the same way that nickname for a crafty animal did.
Without looking at your profile, it would have been very hard to tell on its own whether the comment was punching down or punching up.
Maybe if I wasn't such a cocoa-butter crême fraiche praline I would have had a familiarity with the other usage. But I think you definitely made a positive addition to the discourse.
There's a difference between a black person use of the word and a white persons use of the word, and I think it's kind of suspect that you are willing to ignore that in favor of the take of a word filter that fully has the sremovedhorpe problem

Let's keep the slurs out of here.
Yeah, watch this,
all the way to 36:37hell, the whole "What is a removed" section (timecoded for your ease!) and then stay the fuck out of my inbox if you rly think removed is a slur, foh.

No, I don't think I will.
Cool; keep your lib suburbanite ass out of my inbox then.
