Thread: Really, all this "racist" stuff is getting ridiculous.

also dave chapelle would go "byahhhh" whenever he throws a bunch or so. =D

Only Dave Chappelle can get away with it.
Till he himself cracked down on his own pixie joke.

Chicken? fried chicken?
HALLELUJAH

up !

I just read this : http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/entertainment/6586787.stm
=>

Simmons [...] objects to the use of "nigger", "ho" and "bitch".
[...]
"Our discussions are about the corporate social responsibility of the industry to voluntarily show respect to African-Americans and other people of colour, African-American women and to all women in lyrics and images."
He added: "The words "bitch" and "ho" are utterly derogatory and disrespectful of the painful, hurtful, misogyny that, in particular, African-American women have experienced in the United States as part of the history of oppression, inequality, and suffering of women.

I can understand for "nigger" and "ho" (with the definition given somewhere in this thread) as censorship seems to be cool nowadays, but "bitch" ??
bitches are universal lol xP

nah... because when you start imposing bans on words then youre intruding into freedom of speech. Actually im against any form of censorship no matter what the medium, and believe it or not, censoring rap makes it more commercial and less real - and thats far worse than any "derogatory terms"

i totally agree that censure sucks (we often laugh at ancient times because they were full of censures, but it's not that better nowadays, except that they tend to be more subtle... :s), but what i found stupider was the word bitch in there (unless this is mainly used for african american women in the USA ?)

true, not sure either why he would want to censor the word "bitch", i thought alot of people were just using that word on any race of woman they looked down upon.
and using it for using it...

I think its referring to the alternative to hos being bitches. As in a possessive term for women in general not just ones that are black

well, from what i understand he put bitch and ho to the same level, as if they had a similarly anti afro american meaning or something..
