Kanye
Kanye saying, "Bush doesn't care about Black people" during a disaster where we SEE Bush not caring about Black people scores a lot of points with me.
Does he beat his wife?
Does he cheat on his wife?
Has he harmed or caused anyone to be physically harmed?
Has he threatened anyone's life?
Has he raped anyone or had sex with someone underaged (statutory rape)?
Kelsey Grammer did that and no-one calls him names.
Would you say he's NOT talented?
Has he ever been arrested for or convicted of any crime?
If he were white, would we be having this conversation?
Do you know that uppity was a common term used for prominent Black men?
It's use stopped in polite company once it was outed as a code for the n word.
Then thug was outed as code so that stopped being used. But before then, it was used plenty and often, even for men like Kanye who has no criminal record.
Now arrogant is the common word.
For example, some might call me arrogant. They called (and call) Obama arrogant (the Harvard Law Professor/Senator/President (8 years electoral and popular vote).
Whatever your view, I would suggest removing arrogant from your list of adjectives for Black men the way that you did 'thug' and 'uppity'.
We don't call Trudeau of Canada arrogant. Nor Bill Clinton. Reagan. Carter. Elvis. The Beatles. The Stones, etc.
The B word is exclusively used for women which is one of several reasons why I no longer use it.
We are so indoctrinated with malicious codes that we take offence when someone points it out. But point it out we must.
And by the way, I do hope you're past using the excuse that Black folk say it too or women say the b word to each other too.
We must do better.
Can't wait 'til we have our own media. Everything changes.
