I agree w everything you're saying, but my whole point is the black community focusing on a larger goal bc let's be honest, this system aint never gonna support us. It never has and it never will. No one is ever gonna come out with a law that makes it illegal to say "nigga" and the more you try to make it that way it'll backfire cause ppl will kno that it'll generate such a huge outcry. So that's why my whole point is let's stop caring as much about the N-word and focus on making it mean more when ppl use it disrespectfully. When a celebrity says some s*** about jewish people u don't see it becoming a whole "don't say it around me" lil tacit code or whatever, they just end mfs career. Let's be on that wave and it'll send a message to the world

Then if a rapper says fgt you have to do the same thing. Or if they disrespect women.

People get killed for being gay or women too.

It's just rapping along. But if you walk around saying it or write it on social media or stuff like that, then you deserve the consecuences.

This sounds contradictory...how are you not gon let nobody call you a nigga when you know they will do it anyway?

This sounds like you will have some type of reaction but you also think you should focus on better things

what does any of this have to do with being a politician???

is not being racist a political issue brehs ?

Politicians are supposed to do things for the people. Not Em.

honestly that's the truth. of course i'd have some reaction, ion think any black person wouldn't. but i also wanna focus on better things and control my emotions about that word. it's contradictory ik but what can i say, i'm human. and I just want good for my people

he’s profiting off black culture
he’s a guest in hip hop he’s admitted it himself

i actually cut off those edgy white boy types, but go off

Why tf are you coming up with apples and oranges comparisons?

What does people being killed have to do with this?

Whataboutisms at its finest

i’m sure

anytime race comes up I remember this is still a niche forum filled with white people and black people who are around them

Honestly no excuse. I don’t believe the man is a racist though, so let’s just calm down on that

No, it means that he hasn't said it in decades in his music or performances.

This isn’t the first time Eminem did some stupid s*** like this

He disrespected MJ, literally a pioneer & the reason black artists even crossed over to white publications & radio stations

Steven wonder called Eminem out for being disrespectful to black culture whilst profiting off it

Ironic.

The people you are telling to not care about the word and focus on other things are also human and will also react.

Using disrespectful terms obviously.

Just ignore him

The point he was trying to make failed miserably

and like many other things it is what it is. maybe instead of "not care" i should've worded it as "care less" but the sentiment is all the same. all we can do is steady try n improve ourselves

Let me get this straight lol

So you are equating nigga and fgt?

And equating racism to homophobia and misogny

So? It's music. What do you want him to do? He already signed, produced and work with black artists. He put some on, gave bigger exposure to others, and worked with a lot of them.

What else do you expect from an artist?

news flash nobody gives a f*** bro, every Eminem thread inevitably ends up with us s***ting on him bc he hasn't dropped a great -top tier good album in a decade

I don't live in Detroit so I can't say what he has or hasn't done (I'm sure his heart is ij the right place like most people) doesn't change the fact that there is a sentiment of being neglected that Detroit rappers have (they speak of him like he's a ghost that doesn't do s*** for the city, where are the positive testimonies of his help, I've even seen some of Madonna private charity work )
Also as far as charities are concerned,Which celebrity doesn't have a charity, slapping your name on own doesn't a humanitarian make.

Take a look at this..
"The French Red Cross, founded in 1864, is an independent charity working alongside governments and public authorities. As a key player in society, we provide humanitarian, health, social, welfare and training services."
