[QUOTE]Originally posted by Doug M: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by Ish Gebor: [qb] [QUOTE]Originally posted by Doug M: [qb] Funny enough on the topic of the N-word, today the supreme court allowed people to copyright racial slurs and already a dude has filed a copyright for the term "ni**a" and said he wants to make t-shirts with positive messages featuring the term..... Now show me Asians doing the same or Mexicans and so forth.... http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/thr-esq/supreme-court-strikes-down-rule-disparaging-trademarks-1006208 [/qb][/QUOTE]I understand that over time it has become deeply ingrained into the culture. Why would I need you to show you anything? It is ignorant and foolish black people in America who do the things. They are mental slaves, who refuse to admitted that and will fight that with all they've got. This is why "The Story of O.J." video is so strong. Now show me Asians or Mexicans and so forth … being subjected to the mental terror that was imposed upon black America. You need to understand the psychology. [/qb][/QUOTE]I am not knocking you dude. My history with hip hop goes back to the beginning. My only point was that African culture is the basis of black music in America (which I am sure you know) and forms the root of American popular music. That was the reason for mentioning Angolana music and raggaeton. As to the topic of the thread, Jay Z and other Negroes like him are not dumb and uneducated. They are supposed to be leading the way for other black folks who want to get into the industry and provide opportunities and knowledge on how to get ahead in it. But he is not. And all of this about the N-word, black psychology and the theft of black culture was MORE PRONOUNCED in the late 80s and early 90s which was the height of Afrocentrism in black popular culture. And all over the country folks were having lectures and discussions about consciousness and hip hop and how to move ahead. And even then there were folks involved who knew better but didn't care and were determined to go their own way. Like Dre said in "Let Me Ride": [QUOTE] [b]just another motherfuckin day for Dre so I begin like this No medallions, dreadlocks, or black fists it's just that gangster glare, with gangster raps that gangster shit,[/b] that makes the gang of snaps, uhh word to the motherfuckin streets and word to these hyped ass lyrics and dope beats, that I hit ya with that I...... [/QUOTE] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8R3DipU4YnE So folks like him and plenty others know full well what they were doing and weren't just simple dumb uneducated folks who didn't know better. I mean his previous group was a bunch of poppers and lockers. These people who did it had given up on the idea of owning their own and just went with trying to get record deals from these companies. And at the time, the N-word when it did get used was censored on radio because it was still considered offensive. But the record industry did nothing to stop these groups from using the term. Yet if these groups used other slurs such as "cra**a" or anything else, they would quickly be shut down by the studio.... There is a lot more to this than simple black folks on the streets. And certainly this song is nowhere near conscious like most hip hop was in its early days long before folks were getting record deals. [/QB][/QUOTE]
