Thank you, Jay-Z! I stand and applaud. Raster Oct 2012 #3

That's right, J-Z & discriminating against women is no different than discriminating against EITHER. whathehell Oct 2012 #4

It's not as if he discriminates against women. harmonicon Oct 2012 #5

Why would you have to be a professional musician or music critic to recognise sexism? wickerwoman Oct 2012 #7

There's an important distinction you're missing here. harmonicon Oct 2012 #11

Uh, no. It's you who are "missing" something. whathehell Oct 2012 #14

What am I missing? harmonicon Oct 2012 #20

First, you're "missing" an answer to my question: Should a white man say "nigger" in his "artistic" whathehell Oct 2012 #23

You've missed the distinction again. harmonicon Oct 2012 #30

The point in Huck Finn is that the audience is supposed to know he's an unreliable narrator. wickerwoman Oct 2012 #39

As you surely know, there is this big "double standard" on DU when it comes to women. whathehell Oct 2012 #27

If he addresses women as "bitches" or uses that word as a synonym for "woman", whathehell Oct 2012 #12

So... harmonicon Oct 2012 #13

Should whites eliminate "nigger" from their artistic practice? Should straights eliminate "fag"? whathehell Oct 2012 #15

My answer is an unequivocal, loud, proud NO!!!! harmonicon Oct 2012 #19

One person's "art" is another person's "trash". As for your "loud proud" bs, when someone here whathehell Oct 2012 #24

Yep. One person's art is another's trash. harmonicon Oct 2012 #31

Freedom of speech or Hate Speech?...Again, you're in a privileged group, so it's all the same to you whathehell Oct 2012 #36

LOL...Try your "artistic practice" on gays & racial minorities on DU sometime, whathehell Oct 2012 #26

he is as much responsible for all of rap music as La Lioness Priyanka Oct 2012 #18

Who's holding him responsible for all of rap?...According to JoeyBee12, he degrades women himself. . whathehell Oct 2012 #25

you are :So could rap music stop with the B-Word now? La Lioness Priyanka Oct 2012 #29

Are you saying Jay-Z does NOT use the B-word? whathehell Oct 2012 #37

i am saying that you didn't know that and you held him accountable for a group of people La Lioness Priyanka Oct 2012 #40

I didn't state it as fact, but I did make a very reasonable assumption, considering his genre whathehell Oct 2012 #41

that's the problem. you hold him responsible for his "genre", in a way that people dont hold La Lioness Priyanka Oct 2012 #42

No. I don't hold him "responsible" for his genre, I questioned his participation whathehell Oct 2012 #43

my issue is much more than this celebrity. its the way minorities are expected to take La Lioness Priyanka Oct 2012 #44

My issue is the way women are expected to take being demeaned whathehell Oct 2012 #45
