so you don't agree with racism.
But sometimes, poor quality music videos you happen to dislike make you racist? o_O?


no, i happened to find that comment funny. obviously (at least to me), enzo was joking. the idea that that video could make someone racist is humorous, considering the video's content.

anyway, i took your response as towards my comment, not my upvote for enzo. how my comment could be construed as racism, i do not know. you would have to make assumptions about my character to come to that conclusion. rap culture certainly isn't just a "black" thing. if you want to call me culturally biased or a bigot, that's fine, but you're going to have to join the club, because by your reasoning most people would be considered bigots. i wonder if you would be defending this position if i had made a similar comment about country music (and i absolutely do have similar feelings towards country music).

Not even one of your comments on that video stated:
"I dislike this genre of music. The end. Thank you. Goodbye."
You applauded Enzoblue's comment meaning you agree with racist ideology.
You immediately began to mock someone else's culture - again asserting that their culture is inferior to yours.
If you don't wanna be called a bigot. Don't say bigoted things.
If you're gonna argue with someone. Stick to factual statements. Avoid fallacies.
Byyyyyye now.
In reply to this comment by Enzoblue:
this stuff makes me racist.
In reply to this comment by solecist:
i hereby promise not to disrespect any culture differing from my own, regardless of the amount of misogyny, violence, or lechery that these cultures may promote. now please excuse me, i have to skeet skeet skeet.



what were you saying about straw man arguments? goodbyyyyyyeeee.

Again, you're the one who's claiming that you had some moral high-ground in judging that song was trash.
"Oh, I'm s'pposed approve of a song that contains 'misogynistic', "violent" or 'lecherous' lyrics?!"
Even tho your culture contain all those things just in a different style.
What would you should have a said was: "My prejudice & intolerance for subcultures is my only actual reason for judging this song to be inferior."
We can end this here tho, since you obviously didn't read that article on fallacies -
i.e. Ad Hominem: Me being a hypocrite doesn't justify you being a bigot.
Hope you'll learn something from this. Have a great day.


that is...the most ridiculous thing i have ever heard. how could i have claimed a higher moral ground than you? you are the one telling me what i can and cannot like. your basic point was that it's bigoted to dislike anything. so if it is bigoted to dislike something outside your own culture, then you're a bigot, too. and if you're a bigot and i'm a bigot, and my mom's a bigot and my dad's a bigot, if t-pain and bono and obama and jesus are bigots, then what the fuck? what's the point of telling me off? oh, right, it's because i don't like something you like. what a bigot.

i hope you and i can organize that bigot party. everyone's invited.

ps. when say a word so much, it starts to lose its meaning. weird.

GenjiKilpatrick says...

Alas, you would be wrong to assume that.

That would be entail - C. fallacy of refutation: straw person

Here, look on this nifty chart. You'll probably need it later on.

But again, what does any of this have to do with your bigotry?
[Which you clearly understand and accept.]

In reply to this comment by solecist:
says the guy who just called us thick-skulled knob-gobblers. what is a knob-gobbler, genji? am i right in assuming that you've just used a term referencing male homosexuality in a negative manner? sounds like ethnocentric bias to me. i would know, because some pretentious twat just told me all about it.
