Uh. I'm not sure I'd put Lil Boosie and Talib Kweli on the same moral level here.

Lil Boosie didn't think black lives mattered when he murdered Terry Boyd in 2010. And the fact is in that in Baton Rouge he is long been rumored to be connected to at least five other murders. Of black people.

Was that written in English? Most of the words seemed to be but I'm guessing the various names to be misspelled and frequently made up words or odd grammatical usage made the sentences incomprehensible. I did get a sense of racist hatred for non black people, but other than that the thing made no sense at all.

@2 Oh good. I was afraid that there wouldn't be any racism in this thread.

@4 Jinx? Say, can you think of anybody white who made up words, played around with spelling and grammar, experimented with different modes of rhyme and meter? I mean besides Shakespeare. Or ee cummings. Or Dr. Seuss.

@5: Maira Kalman comes to mind, sort of.

Wow. Even on SLOG, the first two comments to this were classic "black on black crime" and "blacks are the real racists" bullshit.

Please wait...
