It's possible to post while removing all handles from the "To" field. That way, I don't get the idea that you are addressing me by using personal pronouns.
Let me fill you in on a little something: people tend to post a lot to the original poster. I do so whenever responding directly to the article
Given the manner of your addressing, that characterization might be accurate in the first respect. The comments of the two young ladies had nothing to do with the buyers, but the sellers. Also, nowhere was all rap or hip-hop music so characterized by these young ladies; it'd certainly be folly to accuse "Rapper's Delight" or even "The Message" of "dumbing down" a whole community of people or promoting misogyny.
Or is it that I’m not allowed to address myself to black females ever without being misogynistic and racist
“It’s possible to post while removing all handles from the ‘To’ field.”
Possible, yes, but I post to the OP. That’s just how I do it.
“That way, I don’t get the idea that you are addressing me by using personal pronouns.”
Maybe you could not get that idea by noticing you didn’t write the quote which I took the time to cut and paste and to which I was addressing myself.
“Given the manner of your addressing”
Huh? What “manner”? Earlier you used “railing,” but I assure you it was typed in a calm and rational manner. I would accept droll or flippant, but nothing that young female black ears can’t hear.
Isn’t it funny, the many shades of interpretation of the tone of written words. But not that many. If you think the manner in which I wrote is inherently misogynistic/racist/other bad words, you know as much about interpreting manner as I know about quantum mechanics (I don’t know very much about quantum mechanics).
“The comments of the two young ladies had nothing to do with the buyers, but the sellers.”
In order to sell you have to have buyers, and I don’t think who’s buying is irrelevant. She was talking about it creating negative stereotypes in “our communities,” meaning black communities. But since white people do most of the buying—as is only natural for the dominant popular music genre in a majority white country—I’d worry more about the stereotypes it creates there.
Oh, and that has nothing to do with misogyny nor racism.
“Also, nowhere was all rap or hip-hop music so characterized by these young ladies”
Ugh, did I say it was? I wouldn’t even care if it was, by the way. That’s not something I’d bother to correct, exaggeration though it may be.
“it’d certainly be folly to accuse ‘Rapper’s Delight’ or even ‘The Message’ of ‘dumbing down’ a whole community of people or promoting misogyny.”
I’d have to check the lyrics, but let’s assume you’re right. Okay, but what does this do with what we were talking about? What phantom are you arguing with?
