View Full Version : Do you think Eminem is Racist ???
I dont think he is....but people say "once a racist, always a racist"
If you dont know what im talking about HERE (http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/entertainment/3342979.stm) it is...
Its not like im going to stop listning to his music, i am not offended by what he said...
I have heard the track, he also says "some of my friends are niggas and black bitches" and there are more bits too.
The Source Magazine was only trying to get at Eminem, because he and the co-owner Ray Benzino (His a rapper to) had Beef, they didnt have to do this...
I know its quite old news now (about 3-4 Months old)
Wasnt sure if somone already made a thread like this, but if there is just close it ;)
lol im glad you wrote that last sentance because i was getting worried up until then - this is very, VERY old news
how can he be racist when everyone he hangs around with is black, once a racist always a racist my arse i dont even think he meant anything racist by what he said in that song anyway
have you seen 8 mile? the only white people in that film are cheddar bob, his bird (corr) his mum and his sister, so how can he be racist??
Thats what im saying, he aint gonna lose any fans anywayz
i doubt it too.
8 mile is great by the way :)

I don't think Eminem is racist.
But Keenan and Kel is.
As is Fresh Prince.
Sister Sisiter.
Moesha.
You get the picture.
Nope, im a bit slooooooooow :o
Black shows... :confused:
am i right
i dont think kenan and kel is :confused:
some other black shows are mighty racist though, as is the same for some white shows
it still exists - deal with it :)
only problem being some people dont realise it goes two ways and not just in one direction, still come a long way since even 50 years ago never mind more then that
it is a good point, 8 mile is a good example, how many times does eminem get called white trash? or white ass...
if he said black hed get the shit kicked out of him. you could say 8mile was racist in reverse to what society expects. [/political mode]
you really need to see 8mile more than once to understand it. ive seen it about 10 times cos i have it on dvd, and every time i see different things about it that i hadnt noticed before.
buy it! :D

Yeah, thats T.R.U
anyone got the dvd version? theres an extras bit with rap battles and eminem rips the shit out of some bird. says she has no tits and everything. quite funny.
Na, my mate waz tellin' me bout dat
they were filming some battles as spares incase the ones with lykedy splyt, lotto and papa doc couldnt be filmed for some reason.
it was really funny cos eminem wasnt allowed to talk cos he was losing his voice, but the crowd were taunting him so he turned the mic on and started ripping this guy really bad, and he wasnt really rapping he was just talking it was class :D
it would be like a football team running as fast and as hard as they could for 45 mins and scoring 1 or 2 goals and then the other team coming out in the second half and steamrolling them with about 10 goals without even trying :D

:D ive got it, the bit where they hold a competition during lunch breaks
em wasnt meant to rap properly coz he had a sore throat and it was alright him mimin in the first one coz he didnt get dissed but in the next one he went second and all the heds started booing him so he turned on the mic and did it for real
ripped the shit out of some people too :D
oh and the superman video on theres funny too

i dont think kenan and kel is :confused:
Who is the only regular white character in Keenan and Kel?
Chris, the owner of the shop
not having white characters doesnt make something racist u dozy twat :mad:
do you not understand how many shows and programs there are that just happen not to have black characters in - you mean every single person and member of the cast in these is racist? nice

No, but it's all to do with stereotypes:
The token "cool" black man, who bench-presses 350lbs, or
The token black businessman, who's an entrepreuner in whatever field he's an entrepreuner in.
Now, when it comes to predominantly black shows, the token white guy is always a scrawny little fucker, incapable of doing anything for himself, who always ends up turning to above-described black people for help. It's not racist, it's just how film and TV is.
Eminem isn't racist, either. He laid down some rhymes on a track called "Suckerin' Rhymes" which was meant to be really shit, with shit lyrics, shit flow, shit rhyme. Basically, shit. The Source has had an axe to grind with Eminem for ages, and they're just twisting what he said. Even if he used "the N-word," or called someone a "black monkey-zebra" or whatever, that doesn't make him racist.
When someone writes lyrics they don't necessarily stand beside them as their political view.

That is what I meant.
Chris, the owner of the shop, is a hole. He is middle-aged, still lives with his mum, has no social life, and always comes running for help to Keenan.
Also, the closest thing to a regular white character in the Fresh Prince is Cornflake.
Who is a spoilt geek to tries to mimic the 'ghetto fab' style of Will. But of course, when he does it, he has no style and sounds contrived. But when Will does it, well oh yeah, he's the man(!)
Have you seen the episode where they enrole in fraternity groups at college?
When Carlton hints to joining the group promoted by bespectacled losers, (white, of course), Will has a go at him, and says, "Wouldn't you rather join a group of people that look like you?" and points towards the ice-cool, muscly black guys in the corner.
