Uh...what are you debating me about?

I am biracial, half-white, etc.. but, I would look like a fool walking around claiming white. No matter what, I will be looked at as a black woman. (and PROUD of it, I might add...)

I'm aware that song and rap lyrics aren't literal and don't see how that applies here.

The lyrics being racist or not?

LOL...so you see how rap is a word play.

White lies = seemingly harmless lies with big ramifications
white lies = the lies that a white dominated structure/white POTUS have been feeding the people

Try some Nas.

Last Poets

Gil Scott Heron

then you may understand.

Why are you debating me about that? LOL. You have a completely different concept of "racism" than I do.

These are the complete lyrics to his verse. If you dont get it I can try to expain.

when you have to break down rap lyrics to someone.......hehe...

I cant complete that with a straight face...

Anyway, as catchy as that song is and as accurate as the sentiment is, all things are best in moderation.

The President is black. We get it.

I'm not counting on any sort of moderation.

That's our good ol Chaos! Welcome back!

Okay.

Now what? :)

Now, those who don't get it get over it and those of us who do get it and enjoy it get on with it.

Yay!

I don't fit in either category.

Yay!

^ Just had to be the outcast!
So, I guess that you just get busy (making crab alfredo to send to me). LOL!

pg...so...ummm are there any more rap lyrics you saw on Oreally that bother you that you want to discuss?

lolli lolli lolli lolli let me see you pop that body..

What does it mean????

wow

I thought DS said Rap lyrics?

exactly.

siigh....you know some people just say shit because they have to fit in too.

g'nite I.A.S.K.

Take care

wowwee indeed

No, I don't talk shit to fit in. I talk shit to talk shit.

ETA: You guys need to take some valium or something and relax

:D

at least you admit to your own short comings.
have a good one.

All this happened while I was watching Family Guy and Robot Chicken???

Re runs at that....glad he waited til Lost went off.

Is it nonparishable enough? :eek:

Is what NP enough? The crab alfredo? Yup. You can freeze it and ship it on dry ice or you can ship it the same day on blue ice. Either way is just fine. It wont spoil. I promise.

You're really going to ride someone's spelling? In the same post as "ur"? OK.

Also - it's clearly intended to be read as both "[little] white lies" and "lies from whites" and I can't imagine that's disputable. I don't think that is a particularly 'racist' thought - after all, a black guy thinking whites have lied to him isn't exactly ground-breaking, and is probably (from a perception standpoint) fairly true, even though a massive number of those lies have come from his side of the political aisle.

It's a hack reference to the Lil Wayne song, because pop music is a copycat sport right now.

Ironically, the Lil Wayne track (which is actually rap, unlike the one you're referring to) uses the lollipop metaphor to make a point about selling out to get a number one hit, although it also uses it to make, well, sex references. This isn't exactly Chaucer, but it's not that hard if you really try either.

Come back down...I am sure u know that the 'ur' was intentional.

You are not that stupid so let's not insult each other like that.

Also, why are you trying to explain Jay-Z's lyrics to me?

I know what he meant...and yes, I agree, it's nothing new. The metaphoric wordplay has been around since before Grandmaster Flash and the Furious Five....explain it to ur boy phigam, the original poster, who seems to be taken aback by 'racially charged' rap lyrics.

Seriously?

Um, you're not the only person who can read the post- it was intended for, y'know, everyone. Also I'm pretty sure my "explanation" contradicts at least one of your earlier posts (in inference at the least) so you really need to be sure that you're agreeing with me here.

You need to get off this "metaphoric" kick - I'm not sure you're explaining it in a way that helps your cause in the slightest.

You should have clarified that.

and I don't recall 'my cause' as you put it, requiring assistance.

I'm pretty sure that any time a 5-page thread springs up in minutes, that's a clear indicator one side isn't "winning" or converting anyone. In that regard, I'd say you need assistance. You should thank DrPhil for trying to help you and IASK in spite of all odds.

I didn't realize there was a 'contest' here.

What's the prize?

Yeah I know thanks a bunch. I used that line to express my displeasure at the recent posts on the news and politics forum. Well.. actually it was on the radio while I was typing but you get the drift. I know the difference between fake rap, three six mafia, and real rap, lady gaga.

Awesome

That sounds gross so don't sue me if it becomes infected with something.

Exactly.

The bolded is another reason why the lyric is dumb.

*dead*
