That's some fucking stupid slang right there. Its like a meme version of schooled, even saying it out loud in a sentence is cringe.
Damn I thought this was about John Walsh from America's Most Wanted lol
privileged, living in a bubble etc. I couldn't tell if she was playing the straight or genuinely lost but regardless as a host she should know better about her slate.After watching that, I was angry with the middle lady. What the heck woman? Respect this guys ideas and feelings? How about no, Angela was correct, why bring that guy to talk with her?
You guys who never heard of Son as a verb need more black friends lol
Is "owned" no longer good enough for you hipsters?
It's used here to demean others.
You've probably seen "Nah, son." It's a subtle way to put someone down and passes because it's not commonly known slang.
"The b word" lol
Are they really putting "bigot" on the same level as "nigger" these days on US TV? I'll just go ahead and hope that's just CNN. The host's pandering to Walsh in general is so weird.
That "journalist" moderating is an embarrassment
As are the multiple people in this thread denigrating AAVE
Can you please not make this about race???????!!?
"The b word" lol

The only thing worse than calling a white person the b-word is using slang they didn't approve.
See below:
Edit:Yeah, figured that was a possibly but poe's law has been swinging into overdrive since the election. Hard to tell anymore. Also, figured there might be a youngun' who generally didn't know about boujee and wouldn't ask anyway.
I remember hearing bougie/boujee a lot back in the seventies and very early eighties, and then it just vanished for awhile. Lots of words do that. I was dying laughing when someone suggested "swank" was a modern term the other day.
"Sonned" predated "owned" by a decade or more. The hell are you all talking about? Pretending its some new thing because you just now found out about it?![]()
I also have never heard it until this thread and I've been alive 30 years. Maybe it's a regional thing?

They came around the same time. Different demographics, though.
Lol I had the same thoughts about the Americas Most Wanted host. Was like damn I thought he was one of the good guys.I read the OP and thought "Oh man, Joe Walsh is a racist? He always seemed so cool in interviews" and then I watched the video and realized it's not the dude from the Eagles and oh yeah I'm really fucking old.
She's never going back to The Brilliant idiot thanks to that idiot, Andrew.
Joe Walsh is a mess.
lmao at the people offended at "sons" in this thread, get out of your ignorant bubble.
The host going all "why use the B word" and respectability politics was some self-righteous bull.
Brooke dropped the ball massively. Even Don fucking Lemon, the King of bothsides-ism had learned not to do that shit as much. It was so unnecessary to do that at the end.
This video shows some of what did on the second BI show featuring AngelaWhat did he do?
Nah... let the bigot own their bigot ass remarks. In no way should their actions/ words be disconnected from the person.
Call a spade a spade
Coddling racists accomplishes nothing.
Uh, no one is coddling racists here. Fuck outta here with that. I'm saying that in order to rob them of their weak ass "don't call me a racist" defense, which is used to influence and distract viewers from the fact it was indeed a racist statement, single out the comment as racist. The audience who's watching probably doesn't know shit about Joe and what all he has said and done. She was accurate in calling him a bigot, but the viewer doesn't have enough receipts to agree wholeheartedly with the accusation and thus become sympathetic to him.
Having dealt with my fair share of bullshit, I've gone from doing the former to the latter, and it's been very effective. I wasn't calling "them" a racist, but what they said. With that defense no longer being in play, they had to confront it and answer for what they said. I knew from the moment she called him a bigot it that he was going to take that and use it to distract and it's exactly what he did. It's pathetic and embarrassing that they have to be treated like children, but in my experience, it's been effective.
The fact is, until White America can collectively pull their heads outta their ass and actually discuss the issue of race openly and honestly, we as POC have to be calculated in our approach if we're going to engage. It ridiculous and it shouldn't be that way, but here we are.
And for the record, I absolutely love Angela Rye and she had an amazing presence of mind here.
*Think of a happy place*

Agree with what you're saying here. Once a person is called a racist, they're going to get defensive. Nobody is going to be like "okay, yeah I see what you're saying and I'm cool with being labeled a racist." It's something that, while probably true, is going to take the conversation away from what they said into you attacking their character and next thing you know they'll bring up they got a black friend and here we go.Uh, no one is coddling racists here.

lmao @ the ppl in this thread hearing dated slang for the first time and getting all umad. Maybe listen to a rap album once a decade you old lames
Nah, fuck that bullshit. Dude is a racist.Gotta love how they always try to turn it around as if they weren't the ones to bring up race first. Disappointed that the host didn't call him out on it. I mean, she read the tweet herself, out loud. He brought it up, not her.
So frustrating to watch. I do think it would go a long way, in an effort to disarm people from these weak ass defenses, is to instead of calling him a bigot for that tweet, is to say that the tweet itself is bigoted.
"I didn't say YOU were a racist, I said you made a racist statement. Now defend it or rebuke it."

That said, I don't have a problem calling things or people racists but in conversations with people, that's going to distract from the content of what they're saying.
"Please be respectful."

Man I love our "allies."
Nah, fuck that bullshit. Dude is a racist.
Fuck this nonsense too. the man said that the bar was lowered for Obama because he was blac, you think he suddenly going to change his mind if we give him a warm blanket, and some tea and tell him "it is ok, we black folks are no angels but..."
