 pt 1 + 3 are the same. It bugged me when he addressed to gangsta rap as hardcore rap. I didn't know that Too Short thought like that though, that was pretty interesting to me. Also, if the pro-black activists were marching for having people stop racist slurs, then I'm against what they did. Verbal racism doesn't mean shit, but if it has any real consequences beside taking offense, then of course it's not okay. I'll call a nigger a jigaboo any day, I'll call a bitch a hoe too, and I'll call a spic a gringo, I'll call a honky a paleface, just like I'll call a person I don't like an asshole. It has nothing to do with colour or nationality or sex, it's the way I express my feelings towards them. People tend turn it around, the cause and effect. If the cause is that the person is a black woman, and the effect is that I kick her in the head - or I don't let her work in my company and spit in her face - then it's actually discrimination.
I thought they were marching for human rights, turns out they were against it, and seemingly just get back at those mean white men who used the n- or b-word.

I'm a little tipsy in case I'm blabbering. And needless to say, I tend to get into trouble when I'm out drinking.

fixed it, people should really watch this doc though coz this is really interesting to see how the mainstream were treating hip hop/rap when it had just made its way into mainstream, funny to see this black presenter seem totally clueless about hip hop too lol
