Ignorance has a name

I’ve tried as much as possible to ignore that site which shall not be named and its asinine attributes ever since I stumbled upon it 2 weeks ago. Listening to the founder of said site defend his odious intentions on radio was the last straw that broke the camel.

A few things to consider:
-The site is named after a famous 5-word racial epithet (or “term of endearment” depending on where you stand on the debate.)
-The founder is an 18-year old high school kid
-Goes by a fake name, Tyrone–a stereotypical African-American name
-He’s obviously white but uses the N-bomb freely
-Cites hip-hop as the inspiration for the site’s name
-And as you can tell from the site’s logo, black folks are nothing but a bunch of faceless, headband-rocking people, with chains dangling around their necks to this ill-informed white kid, who’s probably still running around in underoos.

Someone needs to check that hideous imbecile and shut the site down before this stuff gets completely out of hand. Shame on anyone who has the audacity to sign up for an account on a site that’s clearly degrading to the black community. It’s like you’re saying “Thanks for giving me this site so I can shit on niggas.”

    Wow, it’s truly cats like him that give other white guys in the hip hop family a bad rep. A bad first impression. Ignorance far precedes the double-standard and this kid fully implements that. Consider me filing mad emails on ya behalf!

    I’m agreement with you Rizoh. This dude is just ignorant. It’s a damn shame. I’m even more shocked by the people who signed up on the website. What are they thinking.

    I also don’t like the other social networking websites like minorityspace.com and crackspace.com(??). While those websites may not be offensive to some, they do play on racial themes and stereotypes — particularly towards African-Americans and other people of color.

    It’s a damn shame.

    Trent,
    I’m not a fan of those ‘labels’ either. But at least those sites are not as degrading as this other one. MinoritySpace has a partnership with NAACP, and Crackspace is leaning more towards hiphopcrack.com.

    That other site is a big no-no.

    Can’t really lay all the blame on the white kid. I mean, black people are signin’ up to the site so they’re at just as much fault. Just another facet of the minstrel show BS.

    Why do niggaz get all upset when non-niggaz use the term ‘nigga’? Damn niggaz, it’s just a word; if it’s such a problem niggaz need to stop sprinkling it on every other sentence in a rap song. And quit saying, “only niggaz can use the word “nigga”. Shit doesn’t make sense; if that’s the case, and niggaz own that word, then niggaz shouldn’t be allowed to eat Chinese food.

    1, for the facial expression.
    2, Tyrone made a reference to hip-hop in his argument, and I heard somewhere that Jay-Z is the “CEO of Hip-Hop.”

    State your name or fuck off. The kid doesn’t even understand the implication of that word, so what’s your argument?

    Damn! I went to that site and also listened to the interview. That is the most ignorant shit I have ever seen and heard! The only thing I have to say is that Hip-Hop is not responsible, nor the music it produces, for this or his way of thinking. Lack of knowledge and ignorance is responsible for this.
