[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]did anyone ever answer this question?  I was being serious and would like a reply.  To white fans of rap songs that have the N word, when singing along, do you say the N word (even if just singing alone quietly to yourself), or do you literally skip that word as you sing along?  I jog every week to old Snoop/Dre (Chronic) and old Easy E, among others.  [/quote]

I'm a white guy and yes, I too will sing along to songs.  I also watch Tarantino movies with gratuitous use of the N-word.  So here's the catch- use of the word does not necessarily indicate hate, at least IMO.  FFS- if I'm singing along to House of Pain I'm not advocating for violence against women.  Right?

But in this video, these guys aren't just saying the N word.  They're singing- in unison- a well practiced song about how they'll never let any Ns into SAE and how they'll hang them from a tree.  This wasn't just the spontaneous use of the N word by some white guy on a bus, it was a group of white guys singing that song in a choreographed way that indicates it was sung many, many times.

Seriously- it goes so far beyond the simple use of the N word in modern culture and media.  Because use of the word HAS become more socially acceptable.  But if you can't see the difference between popular rap and the video in question, I don't know what to say.  [/quote]

I just wanted to make sure that a bunch of white liberals were not so riddled with guilt that they literally edit themselves in their own cars when singing along to awesome music.  That would make my head explode.

and yeah, I know the video is horrible.  but in some respects, it IS JUST A SONG.  A horrible archaic racist song that maybe they have been singing there for 50 years.  It has to stop sooner or later, and I guess not it has.  But just because a drunk 19 year old is singing a racist song does not mean, in my opinion, that (1) they are truly racist in their heart and actions and (2) if they are, that they will not grow up and change as they move out of Oklahoma and see the real world.

And here my friends is a perfect example of how racism is allowed to breed and continue. [/quote]

ok.  in your world expel everyone who sings a shocking song.  Christ, I used to sing Luke Skywalker 2Live Crew when I was a freshman, that is about as X Rated as you can get ....[/quote]

When the song is about excluding minorities from a campus organization, it is not exactly the same thing.[/quote]
