You are seriously retarded. If I said "I'm not a bird so I can't fly" would you interpret it as me saying "all birds can fly"?

[/ QUOTE ]

This is nothing like what you said. The above statement is in reference to you alone. Your previous statement did not qualify a single individual. You implied that being from the south automatically means you're racist.

[ QUOTE ]
Not even to mention you can't recognize a joke when you see it.

[/ QUOTE ]

Riiight. You're joke was so funny that you followed it up by bringing up Nazis and Confederates. Don't try to play it off as a joke. I don't care if you look down on the south. Just realize that implying that all southerners are poor, dumb, and racist is the same as implying that all black people are poor, dumb, and lazy.

Also, why am I supposed to find your "joke" (which stereotypes the south) any more or less tolerable than the linked video which is also a joke (which stereotypes black people).

Go [censored] a family member or something.

Thanks for proving my point.

[/ QUOTE ]You fail at reading too. I said "I'm not from the South", so I don't have x characteristic. That is exactly the same as saying "I'm not a bird, so I don't have x characteristic".

Kinda cute how you ignored the fact that I didn't ever denounce stereotypes too. Fail.

Nazis and Confederates actually have a lot in common.

How exactly is "I'm not from the south, so I'm not racist."
any different from "I'm not black, so I don't rob people."

So what exactly is your problem with the video then?

Been posted before, and I still have no idea how anyone could find it even amusing. But then, I'm not from the South.

IT IS A SATIRICAL OBSERVATION ON THE CURRENT RIDICULOUS, OFFENSIVE, AND EMBARRASSING STATE OF THE ONCE NOBLE ART OF HIP HOP. THE RAPPER WHO MADE THE SONG IS ALSO SATIRING THE CURRENT POPULAR RAP MUSIC WHICH IS AN EMBARRASSMENT TO EVERYTHING RAP WAS. WHILE MAKING THIS SOCIAL SATIRE, HE ALSO PROVIDE A POSITIVE MESSAGE AND A SOCIAL COMMENTARY.

African Americans, open your mind. This man is not offending us. He's smaking us in the face and saying Wake Up. This is what they think of us...and the reality is...most of it is true.

It's just crude satire for the sake of satire though, which is not funny. There's lots of good (mostly independent) hip-hop out there which does the same thing in an actually funny way.
