Isn't racism, at its root, about respect? I respect you as a person and not because of what race you are or are not. I afford everyone an equal amount of respect, regardless of their race. I don't disrespect someone purely because they belong to any specific race (or don't belong).
There is something to be said for that, but ignoring the differences doesn't mean you are being fair. Having the same rights doesn't mean we all come from the same place or go about things the same way. There is respect in acknowledging that.

Quote:
For the music argument, I see an argument that "black" music has to be afforded a level of respect from "white" artists that "black" musicians don't have to give "white" artists/music on account of them being black and white artists being white. There's probably no argument that will get me on board with that.
Not all black music, I imagine, and not all black artists, but I sure as hell wouldn't take it upon myself to tell a black man or woman how to feel about someone adopting their cultural expression. It would be a **** move. Like what, they need more entitlement and infantilizing? I'll pass.

How do you expect me to pad out my album if I can't do a metal cover of Imagine?


Be creative dammit! Smiley: mad

There's no excuse for stuff like this:


This is white on white crime. Smiley: disappointed

We need to wrap this up. There's three more points to get through after this music one before we've solved racism.

Why don't you two just get a room or something? Joph can put on his Polish Conquistador costume, while Flea plays the defiant, yet oddly willing Peruvian Princess. You can act out your racial tensions all you want then. Sheesh!

I am going to have to agree that doing covers or sampling is not inherently racist, that is just how music is done, has been done, and hopefully will be done for years to come.

Now, it is possible for samples or covers to be done in a racist way (if they are mocking or otherwise belittling) but just rapping or covering a rap song if you're white isn't automatically racist and to say otherwise is ridiculous

At least I don't need someone to hold my hand and tell me what to do. So there is that!

Romney would never stoop that low, that's clearly a job for the "help".

At home our racial dialogue is closer to:

"Want Mexican tonight?"
"Nah"
"That's because you're racist"
"Your mom's face is racist."

We're solving America's problems.

More like 19 or 20. Old enough to be flashing her cooter Brintey Spears style for TMZ to go crazy over.

Same way everyone else does. Leaked sex tape and something illegal to get the obligatory jail time.

Bonus points for combining the two.

I'm not sure I want to watch a sex tape that gets her arrested. Unless it's for having sex in public.
