I usually don't listen to the rapper. Occasionally I come across interesting topic and read the comments, it's usually some typical comments by these people.

You made the statement "Not going to happen". Herein lies an issue that this section of the white population has. If a white person has an opinion (right or wrong) and voices it and it happens to be construed as a racist comment that person will be persecuted by a section of the black community very vocally and sometimes violently. On the other hand, if a black person says something that is considered a racist comment the expectation is that a white person is to keep quiet and stay in their place. More times than not, that is exactly what happens.


Sections of the white population have grown tired of being expected to mute their opinions when other races are allowed full expression with no concerns to repercussion. So there are some who are speaking out.


Largely, if we would ALL keep those opinions to ourselves we would find that the squeaky wheel would quiet down. With no audience, there is no actor. But, as long as someone is willing to entertain the actor they will certainly remain vocal and performing. No fuel = no fire.


I don't see why that is too difficult for some to realize.
Well, honestly I don't care if someone feels muted because it's not socially acceptable to make racist remarks. If someone says something racist to me they're going to get hurt. They can discuss how this is so unfair in their next Noe-Nazi meeting.. And I'll leave it at that...

Who are you God? The truth ain't always the truth, more a matter of perspective with varying degrees of something that could have true elements, bits or pieces. Only truth I know is empirical science/formulas that have been proven after 1000s of experiments. Everything else is kind of what you want to believe is the truth...now, ain't that "truth' and whole truth.

The media wants drama. My opinion in a nutshell.

When you start to believe that only your candidate and party aren't equal participates in hyperbole, "lies" and other relative terms used to get elected/govern you'll never be able to discern when either is going overboard or too far....sort of like that orange person.

Often the truth is not told in context with other things that are going on.

You do but many white folk have been non-PC for so long the adaptation is painful and seems muted. It isn't. That's why the "want their country back" resonates so well, say or do whatever without one iota of thought or concern. I don't necessarily mean individuals but surrogates and other leaders who could convey that subtle message without any concern or blowback. Maybe the pendulum has to swing a bit to far in the PC direction prior to self correction; not there by a long shot.

I see the most PC crap in Hollywood. Whenever some white actor accidentally offends a minority the ass kissing apologies are just a moment away.

You mean like when Shaq made his "ching, chong, chang" comment when asked about Yao Ming?

You wanted to know what white people said about it?
