"Jeez, who does he think he is, Gert Frobe?"
Bwaaaa! "I have no Lord and Master but Dr. Mabuse!"

They used to call them Octaroons.

Isn't that his goal? Most rappers really don't make good money until they suffer an "assassination attempt", i.e. get shot.

[ichabod1]

I dunno, but I went there one Saturday night about 9:30 and decided I wasn't going to go there on Saturday night anymore. They wuz keepin' it real, yo.

"They are traitors to their own race and are without morals."

Thank you, Dr. Goebbels. Let's put 'em in burkhas!

[ichabod1]

Hah yaller n***as.

[LWalk18]

They used to call them Octaroons.

An octoroon was someone who was 1/8 black and 7/8 white. Not to be confused with a quadroon, who was 1/4 black and 3/4 white. Fortunately, those names are out of date as we don't feel the need to go into such detail over a person's racial makeup

In colonial Latin America, they had hundreds of names each describing a person's particular mix of African, Spanish, and Native American blood.

[ichabod1]

Well, Drudge just had a clip of some African "Studies" professor talking about exterminating the white people last night. Why would we not be concerned about something like that?

[popdonnelly]

Yeah, I think Kanye West and Hitler should stand up for racial purity.

[AnotherUnixGeek]

Kanye West has stirred up another controversy about race.

I won't say Kanye West is over-rated - I've listened to and liked some of his stuff. But he's better at getting attention through idiotic comments than through his music. Unlike a lot of rappers, West doesn't even appear to have grown up poor - apparently a nice middle-class upbringing. Maybe he feels the need to babble incessantly to establish some sort of outlaw credibility.

"An octoroon was someone who was 1/8 black and 7/8 white. Not to be confused with a quadroon, who was 1/4 black and 3/4 white."

And Kanye West is a maroon, per Bugs Bunny.

"He's absolutely right about white women!They are traitors to their own race and are without morals..."

Hard to imagine any woman (particularly a white woman) choosing any one (particularly a black man) over you when you have such an obviously wonderful disposition.

Peace On Earth... Purity Of Essence...

That's how your hard-core commie operates.

"some African "Studies" professor talking about exterminating the white people"

Of course, the prof is not a "hater". There must be some way to rationalize his racist drivel and paranoia.

[LWalk18]

And Kanye West is a maroon, per Bugs Bunny.

LOL!

[TrishaSC]

No there is not. Speaking as a black woman I find the professor's remarks offensive. Believe it or not he doesn't speak for all Black people. We're not all meeting at the local Applebee's coming up with the final solution to kill all white people.

[Enterprise]

Gee, the wonder of it all. A jackass calling other people mutts.

[Enterprise]

"It seems however that the black race still has little respect for them, but then it seems from the rap songs I have heard that they dont have much respect for black women either"

Aw c'mon. You don't think "bitches 'n hos" is a nice way to refer to females?

[ROTB]

What I "learned" in my Spring 1992 "Ethnic Studies 141" class taught by Carlos Munoz at Berkeley, is that it is not possible for "People of Color" to be racist, since "People of Color" don't have the power to oppress white people, the way white people do to "People of Color".

"Ted Danson? David Bowie?"

Leon Russell? Robert DeNiro? William Cohen?
