"White man's burden" is the realest fucking shit around. Every god damn white man needs to be aware of this phenomenon, and deal with it righteously and respectfully. You don't know certain shit.Comedy Quaddafi wrote:Yelawolf can speak his mind of course, but he puts himself in a very awkward position when he, as a white man, wants to correct something that historically is a black subculture (hiphop). Any pro-gay reform, or other attempts to streamline rap to mainstream politics, should come from within rather than from an outsider. There's stong connotations to Kipling's idea of white man's burden (the duty of whites to civilize the perceived savages) when a white, to use Yelawolf's house-metaphor, enters a predominantly black house and tells them how to rearrange their furniture.
Just like ALL FUCKING MEN ON THE PLANET DO NOT KNOW WHAT IT IS LIKE TO BE A WOMAN, and suffer shit like menstruation and childbirth. You can't fucking "empathize" and "feel for them" on a level that equates to their experience, and anyone pretending to is just being a fucking IDIOT. You can learn, and learn, and learn, and care, and care, and care. And then just keep learning and caring. Over and over.
White man often can't learn about the current status of Black people's CENTURIES-LONG STRUGGLE FROM TOTAL ENSLAVEMENT TO THIS CURRENT STATE OF PHYSICAL FREEDOM BUT TOTAL ECONOMIC AND PSYCHOLOGICAL ENSLAVEMENT without saying dumb shit like "lol @ people discussing this as a serious issue" and other obnoxiously ignorant, privleged and fucking idiotic displays of selfish, problematic behavior, ironically not far from what Lord Jamar is proposing. White men also don't often REALLY REALLY TRULY care about shit in life like equality and justice and redistribution of wealth and power, which are all issues that ALL people should CARE about... but white men observably care about it the LEAST, because it affects them the least. x
Every fucking thing Lord Jamar is saying and doing in this situation is making me lose mountains of respect for him, and Yelawolf has been pretty much the bigger, better man in the entire situation... except when he said "Lord Jamar can suck my cracker balls" or whatever. That's when you start playing the fucking macho violent rhetoric pissing competition bullshit that is far fucking beyond pathetic.
God doesn't behave like the Devil to exact righteous justice.
