Whispering 18,865 Posted May 28, 2016 Share Posted May 28, 2016 21 minutes ago, Redstreak said: You know anti-establishment refers to policy ideas, not identity status right? For Bernie, the establishment is anyone who doesn't agree with him or support him. What is ant-establishment? Continuing to beg for money from kids and young adults that can barely afford their weekly food budget, so that you can continue to trot around the country and feed your ego? Bernie has spent more money per vote than any other candidate in the race...all on the backs of college kids and young adults starting out with their first jobs. There is more to anti-establishment than shouting at the clouds. Anti-establishment is actually doing something against the establishment...like Barney Frank did against Wall Street! But Bernie can't appreciate those efforts, because Barney isn't feeding his ego. What a hypocrit! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

They won't do it. 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 he's teaching kids that if someone disrespects you then you must respond with brutal force. this type of attitude is fed to kids as this song was fed to me and contributes heavily to the gang violence and tough guy attitude that people who live in poor communities believe they have to have due to their surroundings and glorification of violence in songs like these. now i love the glorification of violence tbh sorry, i just love gangster rap. but i honestly believe that songs like this are a huge contributing factor to the thousands of murders that occur every year(maybe even month ) btw its not about attacking gay people. its about using homosexuality to insult someone. a person who hears this song wont be inspired to go shoot up a gay club (trust me, someone who is "hood" wouldnt go near a gay bar even if its to shoot it up) but they could be inspired by this song to go kill someone who might have disrespected them and call them a fag*ot while they are doing it. it more is something that shapes the culture of poor communities. for me the effects of a message of violence are far more impactful in the real world than the message of disliking gay people but their both there and both awful and both greatly entertaining every time i blast this song in my truck ehh. you have the whole gay rights thing going on since you're gay so you focus on that. i live in a poor neighborhood with gang bangers and gun fire on occasion so i focus more on that. first thing i thought when i played the video is "wow hes really coming out to the gangster anthem of the early 2000s about killing people" I disapprove of what you say, but will defend to the death your right to say it.

Emvee 8,832 Posted May 28, 2016 Share Posted May 28, 2016 Which littler ****er in his campaign chose that song? Giving Lebanesedude another topic for his Anti-Bernie campaign I guess now that we have evidence that Bernie wants to kill all gays, I will have no other choice but to vote republican.

Sanders did not disappoint, and he strolled up to the podium with quite the interesting entrance music blasting over the PA. How interesting? Try DMX‘s “Where The Hood At.” We’re not kidding. Watch the clip. The only thing louder than the music was the crowd’s gleeful reaction to it. Lyrics of the song: Reveal hidden contents Man, cats don’t know what it’s gonna be ****in with a ***** like me, D-to-the-M-to-the-XLast I heard, y’all niggas was havin sex, with the same sexI show no love, to homo thugsEmpty out, reload and throw more slugsHow you gonna explain ****ing a man? Even if we squashed the beef, I ain’t touching ya hand I don’t bunk with chumps, for those who been to jail That’s the cat with the Kool-Aid on his lips and pumpsI don't ****i niggas who think they're braads Only know how to be one way, that’s the dog I know how to get down, know how to bite Bark very little, but I know how to fight I know how to chase a cat up in the tree Man, I give y’all niggas the b’iness for ****ing with me, is you crazy?! BREAKING: Apparently the footage was doctored. http://www.washingtonblade.com/2016/05/28/video-of-homophobic-rap-at-sanders-rally-seems-fake/ When even legitimate sources thought it was real?

I'll make Beyonce my VP!" Lol right it's the same exact thing. Bernie has said he doesn't even listen to rap music. Lol Abuela and Grandmother are the same thing. Hot sauce since forever not just now. Hillary listening to the most sold album in the country. Makes no sense. Lol and actually it's the pot calling the kettle a bigot. I'm the pot.

I don't **** with niggas that think they broads". Those 2 lines alone I swear, the trolling is almost unbelievable sometimes If I asked a random person on the street what "I don't **** with niggas that think they broads" means, they'd probably tell me that it means he (the rapper) doesn't mess with guys who act like girls. The greater implication that femininity or effeminate behavior in men is WRONG or at least a negative attribute. It's clear as day. Also, I don't think its problematic to point to a real problem in black urban culture, its not like its considered homophobic for no reason, nor is it "racist" to describe the phenomenon or anything just because it happens involving PoC. Nativism, Racism & Sexism are all very strongly engrained, demonstrable problems that Japanese society face. It's not an opinion (unless you disagree with what constitutes nativism, racism & sexism or question their harmfulness) Spoiler People who are "Anti-PC" culture would probably think that I'm going "against the ideology" or whatever, which just shows how misinformed they are Even if you rely on the whole Eminem defense, or say "I'm just reflecting popular culture and society's attitudes and speech at large", its not a far stretch to say that this is like, literally what "homophobia" and "misogyny" describe. Words like these, comparisons like these, beliefs like these. Spoiler For the record, I obviously don't think Bernie is homophobic or probably even picked this song, but the song is not innocent 私自身もこの世の中も誰もかれもが, どんなに華やかな人生でも, どんなに悲惨な人生でも, いつかは変貌し, 破壊され、消滅してしまう. すべてがもともとこの世に存在しない一瞬の幻想なのだから Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

But in the end the song was aimed at a guy he had a beef with, not at gays. That's the point though He is taking this guy he has a beef with down by COMPARING him to things both he and others find to be bad. He's calling him effeminate, as an insult. The generalizing of effeminacy (femininity) with homosexuality is what makes it Homophobic AND Misogynistic. If it wasn't unclear, he also says "homo thugs" explicitly to let you know that hes referring to gay people It's seriously "He can't be gay, hes so masculine, or jocky" teas when people gossip, its that basic Abouthe black urban culture thing, thanks for checking your privilege , but I think its okay to speak in a setting like this I'm definitely not Japanese, but I can still know things about the culture and how it operates, even if its not as objective as someone who is Native born. One should just avoid -splaining, or speaking over those people and differing to people who actually are a part of the culture or experts about the subject as a sign of respect. It's just an example on an internet forum, so I'm not that invested Finally, insults and their effects are not required to be direct. Not meaning to offend someone doesn't make it inoffensive. Eminem's beef with, well society and rage (aka women ) is not a direct dig @ women, yet he still manages to consistently not be able to express his ideas and thoughts without resorting to blatant misogyny and homophobia You don't have to be purposefully targeting a group of people or even a person to hurt them, this should be self-evident by just... life experience? 私自身もこの世の中も誰もかれもが, どんなに華やかな人生でも, どんなに悲惨な人生でも, いつかは変貌し, 破壊され、消滅してしまう. すべてがもともとこの世に存在しない一瞬の幻想なのだから Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
