Freestyle Battles
i just finished watching a bunch of freestyle battles and it kinda sucks that for an asian or white rapper have to limit themselves in saying verses that reflect on once race.
how is it ok for black folks to "diss" and target once culture and if the other person is either white or asian they cant use it.

because black people get upset when they are targeted by another race. white people don't give a shit.. at least I don't. Although I think mexicans can make fun of them and get away with it.

I think everyone is tired of hearing about the race card in general.
things that are stupid:
Black miss america...if there was a white miss america do you think it would go over well????
Nigga....I dont care who uses it or why Nigga is nigger and is a racial slur. Until the black race stops using it, the word will be perpetuated until the end of time. Dont like whites using the word stop using it yourselves.
anyone owing blacks/asians/hispanics anything: we are way past 40 acres and a mule here. there is not a sole on this planet living in america who has ever owned a slave or had a close relative own a slave. The equal rights movement was initiated almost 60 years ago. Whites have been persecuted too so dont think anyone is alone in this battle. Why do you think America was established in the first place. Work for a living, get an education and get what you deserve on your own merits...no one owes you ANYTHING!!
Ebonics: please???!! stop talking lazy, stop talking ignorantly. its not a new language or some cute urban form of communication. it is a defect in your ability to effectively communicate. it is not cool... it is not something to call your own... it is a sign that you are not educated or chose to not better yourself. It is looked on as ignorant by 99.9% of the worlds population. "Axe" yourself who you would rather have saving your life: a doctor able to communicate cogently and quickly or a doctor having to repeat themselves over and over because no one else can tell what "Get me the dat IV on the flipmode styley for shizzle, my nigga!!" means..
I for one am tired of having to deal with reverse racism, policies and institutions that perpetuate the needy class of minorities because too much is provided and handed to them.
I dont want you all to think I am some wonder bread, white boy, cracker either. I grew up in Miami in a prodominately black/latino neighboorhood. I have life-long black and latino, asian friends, I have dated and immersed myself in relationships with other cultures (black, latino, asian, indian) and consider myself educated. I even used to say my nigga all the time when I was shrouded in the fog of youth. Once everyone, who disagrees with me, grows up and sees more clearly what is important to them, they will undoubtedly see where I am coming from and most likely agree.
Sorry for the rant but the issue of being able to pick on class or race or not during a rap battle is about the dumbest thing I can think of to have issues over.
