Discrimination Suit At Barneys New York Is Quickly Becoming Jay-Z’s Problem

... Proper english is spoken all of the time ...

If you want to address me, do it properly. Myself and anyone else deserves no less.

You were doing magnificently, all the way to the last sentence. Then it all went tragically awry.

Poor Marvin. Always called upon to either defend or speak out against something that someone he doesn't know has done. Just because of skin color. That'd piss me off on a daily basis.

Penny, going forward you are responsible for explaining and defending Miley Cyrus. You know, since you're both white.

Dude,

I said plainly you and many blacks speak better English than I ever will.

However to assert that slang is not a huge part of black culture is not being realistic Just turn on any black comedian, a lot of black music, movies etc..

does not mean all, and i clearly made that clear.

Remember Ebonics, and the huge movement to make it mainstream

Come on, be real.. I just deal in fact not hate

We in the deep south often have our own odd sayings and speak

Right, so why would you try and address me in slang when you already know I don't speak that way?

Remember the first time we spoke? You didn't know I was black so you used slang to describe the police(po-po) and you talked in slang trying to be funny. Once I responded, we delved into a deep conversation about race. We agree, disagree, and joke all around. I know your typing and grammar skills suck, so it's not insulting to me.

My point is not every black person lives in that culture. It's known that I don't as the few folks here who post. If Danno asked any decent black person, they'd tell you it's insulting.

Lol, even when someone is completely off base I try(key word try) to keep it in the proper context.

Now you see why I have to be this way. If I, for one second delved into slang and started dropping the n word and other obscenities, every black person on the planet will suffer. Because I have that burden to bear being here and speaking out against every negative article someone posts and says look at them, they're not talking about the folks in the article, they're talking about all of us. I have to give it context, if I don't, folks that don't deal with black people on a daily basis outside of the ignorant ones will honestly think this is the entire race. Because when it's white people, they can tell the difference. We don't have that luxury.

But honestly, I don't run from it. I just wish I had more time and enegry to fight it on every front.

How do you explain the inexplicable?

[The Nature Boy 4,224]

slang is not a huge part of black culture. slang is a huge part of hip-hop culture - which emcompasses more whites at this point in time than it does blacks, imo.

LOL

OK

Take a trip to Europe. More specifically, Germany. They are in love with hip hop culture. I'm talking scores and scores of women with Tupac and Biggie tattoos, rapping to any rap song but can't speak a lick of english, word up magazine, mtv raps, etc. I dated a girl who told me her one wish would be to live in the ghetto. It didn't go well after that...

They don't understand. Several of my Nephews are enamored with hip-hop. I remember sitting around with the in-laws in the PI.They asked me if I liked Obama. I did not support him. They said you don't like him because he is black. They get liberal media there I had to explain why I did not like him. My wife did not understand. After 2 years here she does. She still asks all the time. Will the Government provide that?

The story as is is not racist, but the OP used some special magic on the title and made it read something like "Yo Dawg! Jay-Z in trouble, dig!" and admitted he was hoping Marvin would respond.

Now the title is normal, reporting the news story.

Well altering a title is well known NO NO

They sound like rich white liberals. Never been exposed to it and don't understand.

rich white liberals? really - that's what it sounds like to you?

[The Nature Boy 4,224]

Well he said white people in Europe. they have about as much experience in real every day American life as rich White Liberals, or rich white Conservatives for that matter.

People often romanticize that which they are the furthest away from.

It's perfectly natural. Some people think they want to live on a farm or in a different time era. Or in another country.

Sometimes it lives up to expectations, often then never realized the down side.
