Wow this is absolutely and utterly unacceptable

I'm very disappointed

[Grumpy Gills]

Was she trying to quote John Lennon's song and got confused

[Marla Singer]

What?

I never said that or even suggested that.

It was an amiable discussion on my part, just an exchange of different point of views. Let's just leave it at that then.

Oh ok, really I was trying to understand! I'm sorry if I sound passionate but of course I can't stand all the empty brains running here to throw shi* on her Of course the word cannot be stripped of its original meaning but the context changes everything and naturally she shouldn't have said it but giving it context it makes sense and doesn't make her racist but just awkward I guess? I get what she wanted to say but sometimes she chooses the wrong word I just hope the hate flow will stop in this thread

K very funny and stuff

[Thisisit]

What is she even trying to say?

[Brunette Ambition]

Someone who uses the N word is not racist. It's just a word which is subjective.
Don't think Björk is racist.

[Alberto]

The n word is at all costs prohibited. However, within the context of what she said and what she meant, I guess y'all should forgive her this time. People today complain about everything.. stop whining over stupid things.

Mess at this having over 5 pages now

of course. always getting mad for nothing.

a lot of people even think the n word is the correct way of saying it while "black person" is racist. stop it already with this and the stupid cultural "appropriation" BS. (okay, it happens, but those tumblr kids use it as an excuse to just hate on artists they don't like.)

the very few people who are racist make it clear. i remember when a particular fanbase started loving marine le pen a few years ago.

they have to spent energy on real issues. but of course you know they won't.

[Buyonce1814]

I still don't understand what she meant/said and I'm sure as hell not reading 13 pages of mess to find out so if someone would be kind enough to tell me?

First of all this is stale old news xD

Second of all she's just saying in her complicated way of putting out words that the SOUND (as in: sound structure and sound quality in music) is always relegated and treated in a reductive and offensive way - as in: the N-word, which conveys a lot of negative connotations directed towards a group of people who doesn't deserve this appellation and who are not represented by it.

Another way to put this: sound is CONSIDERED inferior without deserving it as when someone says N..... want to put black people in a inferior way.

Complicated way of putting it but there's nothing about it...people calling her washed up and has been tho it's not like she said this on public tv or a lyrics, this is a consideration on a journal interview,

ATRL you can go on for pages and pages but of course there's nothing here

Just to make sure you all comprehend language:

- if I say "that stinky N...." referred to every black people, giving it negative connotations which come from a historical background and stuff - then YES, I'm a racist

- if I reference a song in which the literal WORD (N...) is used as a way to convey an analogy between mistreated and undeservingly insulted group of people/things - then NO, i'm not in the smallest way racist but I just chose a strong word to express something

/endthread

Now close this mess before someone else actually believes in this incredibly stupid allegations. Cheers to this "Grimes" user for his/her hit thread, I hope you feel better about yourself now

if you americans lived in europe you'd hear so much "worse" (and I use that term loosely cuz people aren't even disrespectful most of the time. it's about having a dialog), and no one gives a ****. then if people said their thing and it was racist, sure, tell them they're racist ****s. you all just try to find something to get mad over. you hear one word and you attack like idiots as if you can't think anymore.

you wanna attack some racists? look at how they're treating the roma gypsies everywhere (& I mean EVERYWHERE.), look at the Front National and how they're trying to get elected& ruin the most welcoming & cultural place in the world. then you'd be doing something and using your voice for the good. leave the artists who bring you so much culture & diversity alone.

Their forefathers were the slaves of white people. Now they´re the slaves of ideology
