Anti white comments by mainstream rap artists? Where?

I mean country isn’t really my genre, but is society really about to “cancel” someone because of a single word they said in private to a “close friend,” clearly not meaning anything by it, while they were drunk out of their mind? Fucking hell. We’re really going down hill. Look at all of the rappers, they use this slur, and worse, three times in a single goddamn sentence. But that’s not racist. However, the second a white kid says it, he gets dropped from his record label immediately, and shunned in public view because he’s racist. As far as I know, he’s never been musically affiliated with this language. Sorry if I seem like I’m bitchin, but the whole thing is a load of shit if you ask me.

[@ashandblake]

The reason the black female artist’s country hit “black like me” isn’t selling is because most country music fans are white and won’t relate to “black like me”, just as black people wouldn’t relate to a song, “white like me”. Common sense would allow you to see that, Michael. But you’re so caught up in everyone’s skin color that your mind immediately goes to race issues. Darius Rucker- Charley Pride HUGE names in country and they sang Country-not music with an agenda- and are loved by country music fans. Morgan Wallen is a simple country boy who is probably afraid of what to say/not to say when you push for an answer. But there is no race issue in country. “Black like me” is probably not going to sell a lot. If the word is so highly offensive, black rappers should stop using it in every lyrical line because there are a lot of young, white people that listen to their music. The constant use of the word seems to numb people towards the horrible ugliness of the word. Lastly, fans flocked to his music following the incident because his music was good and because people are sick of the media and elite canceling people and dictating who we can and cannot like. He used a word that is trashy for ANYONE to say. But his career and livelihood should not be destroyed because of it. Why don’t you have nick cannon on?? Ask him about his outspoken hate and racism towards whites. He was canceled for like a minute (by very few people though)and then allowed back in. Don’t recall you having a sit down with him.

You clearly know the difference between the word being used by someone black versus the history of white people using it to dehumanize black people. Don’t play stupid. If black rappers want to reappropriate a modified version of the word a vs er, they have every right. White people know that it’s a no go and should just accept that or face the consequences due to their ancestors disgusting discrimination practices. Omit it from your vocabulary and go on with your life or continue to get cancelled. Simple enough.
