Higher 2,406 Posted April 27, 2016 Share Posted April 27, 2016 She seriously shouldn't be talking. Finally feeling free for the night, I got no worries. Finally got a claim on my life, baby, c'est la vie. ☄️ Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
StrawberryBlond 15,024 Posted April 27, 2016 Share Posted April 27, 2016 I wasn't aware of this term until now, but now that I am, she's right, it shouldn't be said. Whatever Iggy said in the past, it's clear that's over with now (and was blown out of proportion to start with). Her point is entirely valid and having a negative blanket term for any race is unacceptable. I notice that blacks really go hard on anyone who says a negative term about their race but they're cool when it happens to whites. I remember when Katy Perry made her This Is How We Do video, there's a part where her friend's name comes up on her phone and she's called "jessica Thot." THOT is slang for That Hoe Over There and it's used in the black community. She was called out for this and the negative stereotypes this causes. But Iggy calls out Beyonce for using a negative term for white women and she gets s**t on? What kind of crazy world is this? Equality's not a one-way street, folks. 4 hours ago, 420 said: Racism in the western world (esp. in Murica) is really fascinating to me. Tell me about it. It's so ridiculous. We have some terms in the UK but it's occasional and not widely known. In America, they have all these weird terms in different communities that are unspoken in others and so on. I'm sure the digital age gave rise to a whole lot of silly memes that led to this. 3 hours ago, MJHolland said: *Iggy says something about race* *GGD pounces on her* *A. Banks says something about race (like shitting on all white people* *GGD champions her* Theres a double standard and you all seem so damn racist lol... Exactly what I'm saying. I see it all the time, this is by no means an isolated incident. "All whites are ignorant, uneducated racists" is just as bad as any piece of black racism. And racial issues don't improve because we won't wake up and admit this. I hope, by calling it out when I see it, it'll make more people question it. Not challenging it is one of the biggest mistakes we make. Challenge and things will change. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's what I've been saying for so long, but so many people on this site ACTUALLY truly believe you cannot be racist to white people. I've literally had people tell me that if a black person murder a white person on the street because they are white, it's still not racism. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Isn't that racist of Iggy to assume that just because its "Becky" it must have been a white girl? What? she didn't even mention beyonce at first. she just told that fan not to call her becky because she has bad experience with it. she praised beyonce actually Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plies terms the act "Becky" because of the widely held notion and/or stereotype that Caucasian women are somewhat more sexually liberal in terms of frequency of encounters, random partnering, and overall lasciviousness. With "Becky" being a popular name given to females at birth in the White society, one can assume that Plies simply chose this name because of its unique association to "Whiteness", particularly where the female is concerned."

That song was about giving head from all types of women. Plus, Plies did not come up with the term Becky. My gawd. You guys seriously make me want to laugh when you come up with these conclusions about black people/culture and you do not what the hell you are talking about or looking too much into it.
