@CCKsoldier Im not being sarcastic, but I have to ask. Do you equate 'wetback' with 'nigger' or nappyheaded hoes? It is the systemic & historical hate that is deeply ingrained into ppl's minds & hearts that make these comments hurtful. Perhaps you dont care about ppl's feelings, but as an artist in a black genre, he definitely should. I can guarantee that you have never experience anything close to the level of racism that ppl of African descent do.
This is the point that bugs me-most people are probably upset that he called them "nappy headed" and not "hoes". The calling women "hoes" part is equally offensive.
I think you should rant like this in Holland: everyone here seems to be pretty proud of their complete lack of tact and sensitivity and even seems comfortable demanding that same insensitivity from immigrants as a criterion of their integration.
Although you point out that strong relationships require great consideration of one's own action, which will impact the other; I think its fine, on a personal level, to use satirical words (e.g. racist, homophobic), for comedic purposes, on a person that you're really secure with. It just shows that those words are too and should be ridiculous that we can just laugh it off.
So the promise lands going to look like South Africa where white are rape and killed until we cease to exist. I'm tired of living around non white and I'm tired of caring what they have to think, why can't us whites live without them?
@lastwhiteman25 if you are tired of living around "non white" go off yourself.
the "non white" people in this world are the reason you are alive. no offense to whites, but whites are nowhere near as resilient as "non white" in all facets of life.
"non whites" are the very people needed for everyone's survival and are the ones who will survive past everything. its how we are built. also whites come from non whites. look up migration and natural selection

I say this as a Black man , but Black make racist jokes all the time about all other races including White people so Black people need to get off their high horse. And besides all Black do is claim Asher acts to White(which is a racist comment by the way). He's a damn good rapper and very intelligent. If people would let Asher Roth be Asher Roth ,we wouldnt even have this problem. And people need to stop comparing him to Eminem and The damn Beastie Boys(Again which is racist) . Let Asher be man
you missed the point of the video. your comment misses the forest for the trees dude. It wasn't a big deal screw up, but it was as Ill says "an interesting screw up."
yes, Jay has said EXACTLY what I've been thinking.
all those "too cool to be human enough to care about your words & actions" people who think they're entitled to being offensive just because they're too lazy to have actually REALLY done the work of checking their own ignorances & prejudgments.
Hip hop is a chess pool of disrespect, arrogance, cynicism, thats for starters.. On one side you have the red cross, teachers, firemen, soldiers, people that are capable of holding doors for a mexican, Oprah, etc.etc. on the other side you have raspiest, drug dealers, the kkk, rappers and rap industry and fans of hip hop, charles mansion, the worst chicken chasers, etc.etc.
The real problem of racism, is referring to each other as Blacks or Whites - which is a racial overtone. As what we really are is human - the human race.
i could never ever hate someone for their color that is so wrong BUT* its difficult to like a certain race in my city who ONLY depends on government welfare and food stamps to live and not get jobs... while the people of my race work hard for their earnings to keep our economy alive... its sad to say but the statistics of my city detroit makes it hard for people in my city to not dislike a certain race---

Nobody gives a flying fuck about any of this EXCEPT FOR the nappy headed hos there at Rutgers - most of which are black and far more racist than white people generally are.
Black people are the WORST racists because they think they're entitled to think and act like racists as long as its against white people.
Fuck em. Let em die and murder each other and die from drug abuse, gay sex, gangs, wasting money on rap and hip hop horseshit.
Don't get it twisted...just because you listen to some Murs & watch 30 Rock don't give you the freedom to making ignorant jokes. White kids say stupid stuff cuz they thank oh it's safe. When I grew up white kids hated hip hop & they parents was scared of it. Soccer moms now be bumping Lil Wayne in front of they kids. White kids be slaning "nigga" around like "Oh I didn't say n-ig-g- E-R ir was niggAH, there's a difference cuz I love Chappelle's show."
Look it, I am not going to go after Weezy, if you like him, whatever, but the type of people really into corporate rap and don't know any other music to the point they are saying that Lil' Wayne is their favorite musician, they have a lot of other problems causing that. Don't blame the symptom as the cause.
You know, there are a lot of places in this country that don't have a lot of computers or the internet. Top 40 radio is all they have, let's not forget that.
it's a reference and quite an obvious one too. Dunno why people would take it so seriously...other than being ill that yet another white rapper is getting a little popularity.
i agree with this. well said. there seems to be a lack of interest in really challenging ourselves on a personal level with regards to these issues. it's not seen as cool. or it's seen as necessary. i think it's very necessary. kudos
one question to my african american homies, im mexican right, all my life ive been friends with black dudes from the hood, so, the word "nigga", i use it constantly with em' since we were little, whatever so, one day i stayed @ homies house and homies mom heard me and slapped me worse than the white guy on "national security"(i love u mama taylor haha),so my question my important question is this, is ME usin "nigga" looked @ badly? much respect.
If your friends are okay with you calling them "nigga" then that's fine, but don't assume that all blacks are a monolith, and that just because your friends are okay with it doesn't mean every black person is.
As long as you realize this you should be alright. If I were you I would only use the word around the company of your friends; if there are any other blackfolks around I wouldn't say it.
well, most blacks (including myself) look at Latinos (Mexicans) as their brothers. so no I wouldn't be offended since I know you didn't intend to insult anyone. besides considering it's historical context it doesn't have the same effect coming from you. my question to you is, why not try to not use it at all? you should try doing just that.
I'm not African American, but I think I have some insight that might help you out, brother. People take things differently, and even though some of us might act alike, in the end we're all individuals. What might not be taken as offensive to one person might be totally out of line for another person, even though they;re both people who come from similar experiences. Also, keep in mind that "nigga" is still a very charged word and POC, older generation especially, still have problems with it.
Personally, I understand that because I'm white and American, that word just means something different coming from me than it does coming from a person of color, but many people, regardless of background, do see that word as totally unacceptable. While I just never use it, my advice to you is to just be careful about where you use it and who you use it with, and the context behind it.
I agree with everything jsmooth said, and I know he already let asher roth off the hook, but just to add a little more perspective to the screw up, I actually agree with internetchampion kind of, even though he's been thumbed down off the board.Comedy is a way to release tension in a healthy way.This is constantly a problem, where people go to release the tension, and the joke is bad, and then the problem gets worse. its important to recognize the ironically good intention behind the bad joke.
Your points were articulated beautifully. And my goodness your voice. If you could just record a wake-up alarm for me to download and put on my mp3, my life would be great.

there are borders but there also a part you didn't point out. people get more comfortable when someone is joked about, such as nappy headed hoes. when you leave such close boundaries it leaves a sense of tension where as in a more open atmosphere you can express yourself without fear of repercussions from oversensitive knuckle draggers (you).
he was making fun of a comically racist person. sarcasm ever heard of it? he didn't say HANGING OUT WITH NIGGERS LOL JK JK. grow up.
I appreciate this vlog, it presents the issue in a thoughtful and rational way...please keep in mind that it works both ways, and I really don't hear a lot of AA's chastising each other over anti-white statements and comments when they appear. Isn't it also fair to expect reciprocity of respect?
I'm black and when I hear negative comments about white people, or any other race for that matter, I try to say something. Not make it into a fight or anything, but just kind of point it out. It's mainly with friends that you hear this stuff, like he said that's when people feel comfortable. I just kind of say, "hey man, that's not right." or Ieave the convo. I think once people see that Its not cool with their peers, they might think twice. So I believe that it does go both ways.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
jokes are jokes....they are funny...and as a non-racist....i believe racist jokes are funny as fuck...let's all just laugh at each other... and everyone else!
@futuresoundofhiphop - u read my mind exactly...it's so refreshing! to see someone who really thinks before he speaks...with the dawn of social websites we have gotten so comfortable with the right to "say what's on our minds" without also embracing the responsbility to "mind what you say"...
he covers all counterobjections in such a slick/graceful way...that you end up going "aahhh i never thought about it that way"
@futuresoundofhiphop It really is in a manipulative way. Probably not intentionally, but he just keeps piling on words as if everything he has already said is accepted as truth.
He IS a smart dude, just doesn't really know how to look at race from a realistic point of view. Too PC.
Realistic in what sense? Too PC? By this I take it one should be allowed to say whatever they wish both to and about others without being held accountable for how those words my impact them. I think you would do well to review this video again for J Smooth is talking... to you.
When I first saw Asher Roth on a break between MTV shows, I thought it was a spot for Comedy Central. I looked up a couple of lyrics for his songs, because I didn't want to spank too soon. In a nutshell: Asher Roth will be gone in a few minutes. Ineloquent, crappy rhymes, silly subjects, I wouldn't be surprised if he lands the opening gig for Jonas Bros. or Britney.
maybe if we ALL didn't put such an emphasis on "race" in the first place, and worried more about viewing and treating each other as "humans" we wouldn't have to worry about this kind of crap in the first place.
i think seeing each other as simply humans is definately the long term goal, or at least should be. but there are always gonna be divisions in the world (racial, sexual, etc) and they are most probably always gonna get in the way of how we see each other. i think we are gonna have to figure out how stop those divisions from blocking us from that goal first. but all in all, to me, ur point is very relevant.
how many times have blacks and hispanics spoke about eachother or others in an extremely wrong way, even the BET awards attacked crackers.but thats ok but nappy headed hoes isnt and this is comin from a hispanic man himself.i dont get offended by none of this bullshit.i just dont think that ppl should be makin such a huge deal..if he apologized, aint no reason to shout him out, or label him as a racist.i know this video didnt but i know some do.
What was the purpose of you posting the link to that video here? To show that Black people can be racist as well? That's not exactly a ground-breaking new idea.
Racism is an affliction of the willfully small-minded and ignorant. You seem just as afflicted as that teacher.

The words Nappy and Ho's were INVENTED by black people. They doesn't mean they OWN them. Fuck anybody who thinks THEY get to use certain words of the english language exclusively. Where's your video villifying blacks who call white people crackers? How about the black comedians still using the "nigger" term? Oh, I get it. If you're a minority, you have preferential ownership on some phrases. There's the modern black equity. The majority of "racists" today are black.
mensameme1...It seems incredibly acceptable for black people to use words that they'd be offended by if a white person were to say them, & that is completely unfair. Most people these days advocate for black people & how their affected by words like these, yet these people say nothing about black racism towards whites, which these days is actually much more common.
I'd like to hear illdoc1 talk about racism against whites, or do only white people talk about it?
Youre speaking and cussing as if youre a 16 year old girl. Calm down. Personally, the ratio of white people calling black people niggers to black people calling white people cracks is like 100 to 1. As far as COMEDIANS. Understand the word COMEDIAN. Their job is to make people laugh, not to give a shit about someones feelings. Were a little too grown up for that. Its funny that you say the majority of racists today are black. You clearly dont live anywhere near me.

LOL. The empirical evidence stands as immutable evidence.

A white equivalent org would be "racist" & condemned.

No, the FACT that there exists a vernacular that blacks assume they have the right to use, demeaning their own women is racist. The FACT that the NAACP exists to the exculsion of whites as benefactors and is not considered racist by the very people that make it up, yet an equivalent organization that excludes colored people would be publicly condemned as racist is proof. That the Unite Negro College fund existws is PROOF in kind. Hundreds of organizations exist that are exclusively black.

Thanks for "allowing" me an opinion. They are racist, and I've had enough. I'm leaving for another continent as soon as I can, and I'll watch you recreate history; destroy a country from within.
BEWARE: without "Negro-love" we would not have traffic lights, pencil sharpeners, air-conditioning, water heaters, clothes dryers, and we would also, not be able to use many other appliances without injuring ourselves, because improvements were made to these appliances by black people.
Stick to watching videos about how gay you are for John McCain, rather than polluting videos made my people much smarter and more educated than your dumb ass.
illdoc, why do you act this fake outrage over what people say?...... there is no way you are this much of a pussy....i just don't believe youre THAT sensitive....... youre pandering....... spit a freestyle and cut the shit.....
My fellow lightskinneded brother, you are on point regarding these Vice magazine methhead looking folks. Remember the Asian hipster grifter girl? Karma is a female dog. Gentrification never looked so clueless. Subscribed!
To call him a Homo is doing exactly what he was talking about. He was just saying how its NOT cool to do stuff like that, and how its taking everything back a step,
Sheesh. For the record, I'm black. I like Asher Roth's music. It was a little joke nudging and trying to make light of a situation that was actually offensive. People are too damn sensitive nowadays. It wasn't hurtful to anybody with a functioning brain. Racism isn't going anywhere and if we all turn gray, there will be some sort of separation it's the way of people, and the way of the world. People keep trying to oppress nonsense like the word, "nigger", only giving it more of a stinging power.

Racism is a bias in opinion. When someone has a bias in opinion you take that into consideration while interpreting their ideas, you don't "correct" their opinion.
That is close-minded, which leads to ignorance which always leads to something bad. You are free to enter into a debate with someone over their views of racial stereotypes but simply demonizing someone for being a racist is wrong. Whether this guy knows it or not, he is perpetuating the thing that caused racism. Ignorance.
You are defending ignorance by stating that someones opinion (which is ignorant) is ok, and that it shouldn't be brought to their attention. An opinion becomes wrong when it has an adverse effect on someone, and when it doesn't respect their humanity.
How am I promoting ignorance by judging person's opinion based on its merits and not subjecting them to the prejudices of a racist label? By closing out certain ideas, you are closed minded by definition.
European Islamists defend the abuse of women by labeling objectionists racists. No matter that they defending the rights of women, you would have their opinions silenced based on a rhetorical label
Most things racist are wrong. So judge them as wrong for being wrong, not for being racist
1) God hasn't sent me because god doesn't exist and
2) When did I ever say he wasn't wrong?
And yeah, wrong is wrong so Asher Roth and Isaiah Washington have to suffer the consequences for saying fucked up things. Unless you feel it's OK to call your co-worker a faggot?
God doesnt exist? Wow that's 2 deep 4 me! & hey if the shoe fits then 1 must ware it!lol
But seriously that's all I'm saying.. He must stand accountable 4 his actions & or words! But every 1 is acting like that shit was ok or cool when it was not!
If he had of made a quote from Hitler that belittled the Jewish community or something like that then people would understand & want retribution but since his insult was only directed towards black women mofos just want 2 turn the other cheek!

When I grew up white kids hated hip hop & they parents was scared of it. Soccer moms now be bumping Lil Wayne in front of they kids. White kids be slaning "nigga" around like "Oh I didn't say n-ig-g- E-R ir was niggAH, there's a difference cuz I love Chappelle's show."

@PumaSweat Those are dumb ass parents. Decent parents don't play shitty rap music around their young kids. It harms their brains.
For evidence look at SAT scores and where those on the score list who say Lil Wayne is their fav music are at. Really really low!!

Look it, I am not going to go after Weezy, if you like him, whatever, but the type of people really into corporate rap and don't know any other music to the point they are saying that Lil' Wayne is their favorite musician, they have a lot of other problems causing that. Don't blame the symptom as the cause.
You know, there are a lot of places in this country that don't have a lot of computers or the internet. Top 40 radio is all they have, let's not forget that.

one question to my african american homies, im mexican right, all my life ive been friends with black dudes from the hood, so, the word "nigga", i use it constantly with em' since we were little, whatever so, one day i stayed @ homies house and homies mom heard me and slapped me worse than the white guy on "national security"(i love u mama taylor haha),so my question my important question is this, is ME usin "nigga" looked @ badly? much respect.

If your friends are okay with you calling them "nigga" then that's fine, but don't assume that all blacks are a monolith, and that just because your friends are okay with it doesn't mean every black person is.
As long as you realize this you should be alright. If I were you I would only use the word around the company of your friends; if there are any other blackfolks around I wouldn't say it.

adamsonxxfifteen 2 years ago 2
well, most blacks (including myself) look at Latinos (Mexicans) as their brothers. so no I wouldn't be offended since I know you didn't intend to insult anyone. besides considering it's historical context it doesn't have the same effect coming from you. my question to you is, why not try to not use it at all? you should try doing just that.
mike7743 2 years ago
I'm not African American, but I think I have some insight that might help you out, brother. People take things differently, and even though some of us might act alike, in the end we're all individuals. What might not be taken as offensive to one person might be totally out of line for another person, even though they;re both people who come from similar experiences. Also, keep in mind that "nigga" is still a very charged word and POC, older generation especially, still have problems with it.
Dipstikk 2 years ago 2
Personally, I understand that because I'm white and American, that word just means something different coming from me than it does coming from a person of color, but many people, regardless of background, do see that word as totally unacceptable. While I just never use it, my advice to you is to just be careful about where you use it and who you use it with, and the context behind it.

there are borders but there also a part you didn't point out. people get more comfortable when someone is joked about, such as nappy headed hoes. when you leave such close boundaries it leaves a sense of tension where as in a more open atmosphere you can express yourself without fear of repercussions from oversensitive knuckle draggers (you).

I appreciate this vlog, it presents the issue in a thoughtful and rational way...please keep in mind that it works both ways, and I really don't hear a lot of AA's chastising each other over anti-white statements and comments when they appear. Isn't it also fair to expect reciprocity of respect?
Plasticinium 2 years ago
I'm black and when I hear negative comments about white people, or any other race for that matter, I try to say something. Not make it into a fight or anything, but just kind of point it out. It's mainly with friends that you hear this stuff, like he said that's when people feel comfortable. I just kind of say, "hey man, that's not right." or Ieave the convo. I think once people see that Its not cool with their peers, they might think twice. So I believe that it does go both ways.

When I first saw Asher Roth on a break between MTV shows, I thought it was a spot for Comedy Central. I looked up a couple of lyrics for his songs, because I didn't want to spank too soon. In a nutshell: Asher Roth will be gone in a few minutes. Ineloquent, crappy rhymes, silly subjects, I wouldn't be surprised if he lands the opening gig for Jonas Bros. or Britney.

This is probably a good time to point out that

bigge525 2 years ago 3
i think seeing each other as simply humans is definately the long term goal, or at least should be. but there are always gonna be divisions in the world (racial, sexual, etc) and they are most probably always gonna get in the way of how we see each other. i think we are gonna have to figure out how stop those divisions from blocking us from that goal first. but all in all, to me, ur point is very relevant.

The words Nappy and Ho's were INVENTED by black people. They doesn't mean they OWN them. Fuck anybody who thinks THEY get to use certain words of the english language exclusively. Where's your video villifying blacks who call white people crackers? How about the black comedians still using the "nigger" term? Oh, I get it. If you're a minority, you have preferential ownership on some phrases. There's the modern black equity. The majority of "racists" today are black.
mensameme1 2 years ago
I understand what you're saying,
mensameme1...It seems incredibly acceptable for black people to use words that they'd be offended by if a white person were to say them, & that is completely unfair. Most people these days advocate for black people & how their affected by words like these, yet these people say nothing about black racism towards whites, which these days is actually much more common.
I'd like to hear illdoc1 talk about racism against whites, or do only white people talk about it?

Youre speaking and cussing as if youre a 16 year old girl. Calm down. Personally, the ratio of white people calling black people niggers to black people calling white people cracks is like 100 to 1. As far as COMEDIANS. Understand the word COMEDIAN. Their job is to make people laugh, not to give a shit about someones feelings. Were a little too grown up for that. Its funny that you say the majority of racists today are black. You clearly dont live anywhere near me.

No, the FACT that there exists a vernacular that blacks assume they have the right to use, demeaning their own women is racist. The FACT that the NAACP exists to the exculsion of whites as benefactors and is not considered racist by the very people that make it up, yet an equivalent organization that excludes colored people would be publicly condemned as racist is proof. That the Unite Negro College fund existws is PROOF in kind. Hundreds of organizations exist that are exclusively black.

Racism is a bias in opinion. When someone has a bias in opinion you take that into consideration while interpreting their ideas, you don't "correct" their opinion.
That is close-minded, which leads to ignorance which always leads to something bad. You are free to enter into a debate with someone over their views of racial stereotypes but simply demonizing someone for being a racist is wrong. Whether this guy knows it or not, he is perpetuating the thing that caused racism. Ignorance.
BigPurple121 2 years ago
You are defending ignorance by stating that someones opinion (which is ignorant) is ok, and that it shouldn't be brought to their attention. An opinion becomes wrong when it has an adverse effect on someone, and when it doesn't respect their humanity.
goodtimesagoogoo 2 years ago
How am I promoting ignorance by judging person's opinion based on its merits and not subjecting them to the prejudices of a racist label? By closing out certain ideas, you are closed minded by definition.
European Islamists defend the abuse of women by labeling objectionists racists. No matter that they defending the rights of women, you would have their opinions silenced based on a rhetorical label
Most things racist are wrong. So judge them as wrong for being wrong, not for being racist
