Kanye is trolling white people...peep game

[Poitier]

Liberal white people and northern white people might laugh but id bet those white people with their houses covered with confederate flags dont find it funny.

They don't find it funny because they don't even follow Kanye's existence.

we can front all we want. nikka IS ******. It's just a lazy form of the word that nikkas say.

Ye is removing the sting of that flag, just like nikka has been removed.

If you let these things still hurt you that's your own dispute.

You sound incredibly dumb. Go around and call another Black man "ni**er" and see what happens. I don't even defend people using the word nikka, even though I slip from habit here and there. You can't turn a racist symbol into something positive or neutralize it, you only warp it into some other form of ugly.

Punk rockers have been taking religious, war, racist and capitalistic symbols and warping them since the 70s

I ain't say it was a perfect concept, but it IS an interesting one nonetheless.

Where do you think Kanye and Tyler The Creator got the idea from?

I seriously don't think they GOT the idea from punk rockers.

Its not THAT groundbreaking of a concept.

Doing something first isn't the same as inspiring others to do something.

Even still, their brand of "revolt" doesn't speak to racism as much as it does imperialism.

This is stupid, some of the most racist people against African american in this country don't give a fukk or relate to the confederate flag or so called southern heritage. White Southerners been though the civil rights movement, so they some what know how to act. White people in different parts of the country or newly arrived immigrants, shyt on us way more. Look at new york, new england, mid west or south florida.

News flash YOURE the one still giving that word power. Which is why cacs use it on you every time they hate u.

Come on man, Tyler constantly talks about himself being punk and even has the biggest punk band "Trash Talk" signed to OF. Kanye constantly refers to himself as being a "rockstar."

All of this is an affect of postmodernism, Jean Baudrillard and all his symbols drivel and shyt like semantic change. It sounds good logically but humans are emotional creatures.

I do think their hearts are in the right place but nah.

Words have power. That's why we use them. Words are processed at the subconscious level, not the conscious level. You don't "give" them anything.

Liberal white people and northern white people might laugh but id bet those white people with their houses covered with confederate flags dont find it funny. Will Kanye change anything by doing this? Probably not but its keeps him relevant, look at all the people in this thread that have an opinion, good and bad.

But those liberal white people and northern white people/jews are the one with voices. No one gives a fukk about the Bill O'Reilly crowd. Is he really trying to reach Honey Boo Boo's clan in Louisiana? He's trying to make a statement in his lily white "art" world but this is one that they don't care about. It's been tried before and failed because it's not offensive to them. It might make them uncomfortable but that's about it. The only thing that's going to come out of this is if it actually makes some impact is white hipsters walking around with confederate flag inspired apparel in Williamsburg, Brooklyn, Manhattan.

Black dudes rocking symbols of previous oppression isn't a new concept...and I think youre overstating tylers "influence"

Artists list a bunch of shyt as "influences" and yet do nothing to even come close to imitating that influence. EVEN FURTHER, influence says nothing about what actually influenced them: behavior? Appearance? skill? etc.

All of this is an affect of postmodernism, Jean Baudrillard and all his symbols drivel and shyt like semantic change. It sounds good logically but humans are emotional creatures.

Yawn.

Do you really think these nikkas think that much about this? They're not liberal arts majors. Kanye, MAYBE...and thats a big "IF"

Tyler? Nah.

I do think their hearts are in the right place but nah.

huh?

 

[pickles]

So he wants nikkas to wear confederate flags now? Nikka is dumb as fukk. He looks crazy as fukk in that photo. Damn shame. The only people he is trolling is black people specifically his black ancestors. He best not troll white people, did you see how George W Bush clapped back at him? He was like call me anything but don't call me a "racist".

Bruh, confederate flags and what not have been getting sold at Heavy metal and Punk shows for decades.

There's many a write up on Kanye's love for philosophy. I'm sure he has come across Baudrillard, seeing as he is the most important philosopher of contemporary time.

I don't think Kanye and Tyler are c00ns but I think they are being a little idealistic.

Words have power according to the thoughts you assign it.

Speak to a regular youth full of curses and they won't bat an eye.

Speak it to a churchgoing saint and watch them cringe.

Say the word God to @Napoleon watch him . Speak it to one smarter watch him

The gripes you have with words is according to your own perception of it. If you want to let a slur flip your emotions upside down in 2013 be my guest
