BREAKING:Video of Anti-Gay Song At Sanders Rally May Or May Not Be Real

[Whispering 18,865]

Maybe it was a message to Barney Frank and Peter Stanley.

Gotta appeal to those straight, white brogressives!     You know, the definition of "anti-establishment".

I love how so many people RUSHED in here to defend Bernie when there is literally nothing to defend but haven't even addressed all the problematic scheiBe he's done in the last 24 hours in other threads.

I hope to Gaga you aren't gay. That you would accept Sanders' trashing of longtime award-winning gay activist Peter Staley, his denouncement of first openly gay congressmen and co-writer of Dodd-Frank Barney Frank because he disagreed with him 30 years ago and is criticizing him today, and this current ****up goes to show how messed up your priorities are.

And yes I got angry at Hillary when she said that dumb Nancy comment. She swiftly apologized and has since (and before then) shown tremendous efforts in favor of the LGBT community. What has Sanders done? Put off an AIDS/Meeting, reschedule after heavy criticism, then mess it up? What an awesome ally.

Oh and yes this is a post where I'm actually ****ing angry. Quislings.

Yes? How can any LGBT person accept this song at all?
What was it a giant blip?

Dont' support artists who write this filth. What the **** lmao

 

 

What on earth are you talking about, who ever blindly agrees with everything an artist ever puts out?? I'm gay as can be and clearly I don't 'accept' the lyrical content of this song. But he obviously only played the beginning and cut it before the verse with the homophobic lyrics came on. 

 

"Where the hood, where the hood, where the hood at?
Have that ***** in the cut, where the wood at?
Oh, them niggas acting up?!? Where the wolves at?
You better bust that if you go'n pull that
Where the hood, where the hood, where the hood at?
Have that ***** in the cut, where the wood at?
Oh, them niggas acting up?!? Where the wolves at?
You better bust that if you go'n pull that"

 

That's literally all he played, none of the rest of the song was played and if you find that first verse offensive then congrats. 

 

You can get upset about lyrics he DIDN'T play all day long, I can find a better use of my time

Oh dear

So you're saying it's totally fine to play a song with hate crime messages, by a singer who is notoriously homophobic. That's appropriate.

Oh my

You know anti-establishment refers to policy ideas, not identity status right?

Hard to tell, since everybody seems to use it for anybody nowadays...  Smh 

It has become one of those terms people use just to shut other people up or down, no matter what their policy ideology is...

i love how the main message of the song is about brutally murdering someone who disrespects him but a we care about is "omg its being mean to gays".  

this is like one of the most murderous violent songs in hip hop  but murder isnt ass offensive as being homophobic. 

 

god i so love this world  keep fighting y'all. the more the better

LEL these campaign music often times wasn't personally chosen by the President hopefuls. Weak sauce.

 

"Most political parties use already popular songs, and politicians tend to stick with just one song, similar to how music is used in catchy advertising campaigns.

"Because music is processed across all of the brain, it remains in our long-term memory," explains Clement-Cortes."

Honestly I'm so disappointed in this.... And homophobia in rap isn't addressed enough in the first place

Well there's a difference.

Wanting to kill everyone because they disrespect you is clearly hyperbolic, the same kind of sentiments used in every day speech lol

The message in this song glorifies attacks against LGBT (gay and trans) specifically.

It's like, it's totally fine to make games where you shoot Nazis, but it's not ok to make games where you shoot up gay bars because the people in it are gay. Shooting up gay bars because the owner owes you or has been an ass to you is totally acceptable though.

I'm discussing this under the framework of violence in media though. Clearly all of this should not be acceptable but we work with what we got lol  There are limits to how far that can go.

Hate speech against a specific demographic is never acceptable. Hating the entire world is something we all say at least once a week

Not what I would have chosen for my Swan Song, but ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

He's led such a nasty campaign that this isn't surprising, nor is it the worst of what he and his lackeys have done. I'm so excited that Hillary Clinton is going to be our president and that Bernie Sanders will fade back into his status as a do-nothing Senator.

Exactly. Anybody who disagrees with Bernie Sanders gets to deal with the "establishment" label. I'm establishment, you're establishment, elected liberals are establishment, elected women like Barbara Boxers are establishment, Planned Parenthood is establishment, the Human Rights Campaign is establishment...

The word no longer means anything do to his over-reliance on the word to, as you said, shut down all rational and reasonable disagreement with his views.

Did you see what his camp has said about Barney Frank? Peter Staley?
