Yeah, everyone called McVeigh a terrorist at the time. We didn't call him an "enemy combatant" because the Neo-Cons hadn't pushed that term into our vocabulary yet.

Shariq isn't a racist, he's an asshole. Andrew Ti also is not a racist, but he's incurious and ignorant.

That DMX clip got me thinking you guys should do a best of Hip Hop in the mainstream media--with things like Mos Def getting ethered by Christopher Hitchens on Real Time, or Camron on the O'Reilly Factor ad 60 Minutes.

There are easy fixes-- give the guest a proper intro on Monday and then edit it down to the essentials (name, what they do) for the rest of the week. We don't need to hear the same 3-5 minutes of banter 5 times a week. The intro is about a third of the show. Also, that PFT episode was in like the third week of the show, who knows what the numbers would be if they tried it now. Would CBB get more downloads if they broke it into 5 mini-episodes a week? Maybe, but that would suck.

Don't worry your pretty little head about that.

It is likely the worst, but not for the reasons you probably think it is. The 5 day a week format is lame--you have to hear the same intros and outros over and over again, and sometimes they're around 5 minutes long (I'm thinking of that one where the guest spent forever explaining how he got his Twitter name.) Ti is a lackluster and underprepared host. If he had a personality or was at all funny it would be easier to take some of his dumber comments. The guests are usually just whatever.

Thanks for batshitsplaining that to me. Summaries don't usually reverse meanings. Only the disingenuous ones do. You are a disingenuous person and I say good day to you forever.

I think you could have an interesting discussion about some of the Earwolf regulars (Kroll, John Daly, Gelman, Besser, Tompkins) and what they're doing when they impersonate people of color or do racially themed comedy, but this episode was not that discussion.

This is exactly what I'm talking about. You cannot read. I NEVER said that it was "way worse" for a black rapper to say something bigoted. I was responding to the idea that it was always more harmful for any white person to say something bigoted than a rapper who had legions of fans and much more influence. The "way worse" thing came from Ti. Can't wait for your bullshit response.

This is a podcast with a host who regularly says stuff like "White people are the worst" and downplays bigotry, misogyny and homophobia is it comes from any other than white people. When this is pointed out or argued against on this forum, Shariq interprets the poster as someone who wants POC to shut up and "get over it," which is either some kind zealotry-induced dislexia or straight up trolling.

I've become one of Shariq's strawmen. o no

Okay. I'm going to go check out all the Heavy Metal songs on the current Billboard Hot 100 chart for misogynistic lyrics. Hmm. Maybe if I time travel back to 1988...

So you're okay with all groups of people being generalized about because of the actions of a few or of one, or you're just happy when it happens to white people? You have two arguments running here that contradict one another.

If you are incensed about misogyny in Hip Hop then you are a racist.

Why do we need to track southern rednecks when we can see massive ignorance on display on the Earwolf Network by Andrew Ti and Jen Wang? This episode was wack as fuck.

Ha ha sure Andrew

There is a Robert E. Lee park right outside of Baltimore.

Yeah, when I said it's meant to revoke "whiteness" I mean the user of the term is saying "Even though you appear to be a white person, like me, you're actually more like a non-white person, by which I mean you're trash." That's both class-ist, and racist.

They were weirdly hemming and hawing over this one. Its obviously a racist term, meant to revoke 'whiteness' from white people who don't live up to the values of the middle and upper classes.

They probably took from Jimmy from Boardwalk Empire

Racist.

How does the existence of one thing negate the existence of something else? Can't there simultaneously be racist white people and non-racist white people?

The vocal agitators are also exercising their free speech though.

shariq knows what's in all of our minds

when i said i hadn't heard of the Michael Vick thing, I meant I had never heard that white people think all black people fight dogs because Michael Vick did, as Mr. Torres asserted above. In fact, I doubt very many people think that.
