Horrible is an understatement. She's one of the most fucked up, evil, deranged public figures active in social media right now. Not exaggerating.

burn your bridges, spend like 7 figures getting your album out to maybe receive 5, and keep banging the reparations drum in 2015 brehs
 
Besides Gaf, does any one care what this woman has to say? I had never heard of her until I saw a thread about her on Gaf a month or two ago and I've seen 3 or 4 threads about her since then.

Is she even relevant ? Do people actually listen to what she has to say ?

Well, her 3-year-delayed, anticipated debut album sold 9,000 entire copies first week.

That's a high school football game's worth of people who care about her.
 
I would have never known who she was if it wasn't for GAF or charlamagne making fun of her on twitter. I guess being known as being somebody who will say anything for attention is better than being completely irrelevant.

No, bro. As in, at any point in your Naval career (whether you do four years or twenty), I dare you to say nigga.

Just once. With anyone. Anywhere. I dare you.

I've been an officer for eleven years. If I hear you dropping racist terms once, your ass is done. I can't wait to hear about you standing in front of your MCPO explaining to them that you don't mean it the same way as racists do.

Test it out, bro. One time is all it will take for you to realize you've been in the wrong all along. Nobody gives a shit that you're from Miami or that it's cool with your friends to say slurs. Say it once in the Navy. Once.

Are you being dense? Nigga is a colloquial term used as either an expression of endearment or playful (sometimes) derision.

Ex 1.) "Ay, that's my nigga Marvin right there!"

Ex. 2) "Nigga, shut the fuck up. Blac Chyna's ass don't look natural."

Nigger is a completely different word.

"Nigga" is definitely used in a negative way more often than not.

Ex 1.) "that nigga ain't shit"

Ex. 2) "That nigga Malik is always in the studio talkin' bout he gonna blow up soon"

I just have a hard time accepting a word with such ugly roots as being anything other than. I can kind of see where the "difference" is, though.

Ex 1.) "My nigga, we eatin'"

Ex. 2) "My nigga get a plate"

I don't get it. Are the typos intentional? Is this an art piece?

For context: John Campbell sent that to their friend KC Green after they, instead of sending owed PFSC books to Kickstarter backers, burned the product instead.*

The point being mainly that "separating the art from the artist" is a foolish act when art is a statement by the artist itself. All art is inherently political, whether those politics be personal or on a grander scale. Broke With Expensive Taste doesn't contain any songs about whether or not white people should be allowed to say the n word and I'm pretty sure it doesn't say anything about Bill Cosby, but it does give us insight on the kinds of emotions that someone who makes those statements might have. Long story short: I listened to BWET before I knew about how bonkers Banks is, and I already knew I was listening to someone who was pret-ty damaged.

Kanye albums would not be nearly as fascinating as they are if they weren't by Kanye.

*Please note that I am not condoning Campbell's actions.

Tell em! So good..lol.
 
I wonder how one acquires the job of writing for her. Her character is a wonderful tapestry of conflicting ideals. I have trouble believing she put this shit together herself.

Really? That's what you took from that? Read what I wrote again and find one instance of bragging about, well, anything in my post. I'll be waiting. Talk about missing the point.

No need to. If you say the word one time, all the trouble in the world will seek you out on its own. You seem so confident that it's cool for you to drop that word, it should be a nice wake up call.
 
This shows that people have all sorts of opinions on race. Lots of white people get upset that "why can't we use the word, too?". And that black people are policing them and their language.

And yet, not all black people feel that way. And black people probably police other black people more than they do white people.

Personally, I just don't like the word. And I don't like the idea of taking back most words. The word is icky.
