White male is once again the dufus in nasty Fed-Ex commercial

I have no doubt women are worse off then they were 50 years ago. Its easy for a woman to find a man to have sex with, but many men of this generation are too immature to ever make a commitment to one woman, and probably never will. This leaves the woman with bad options -- continue to have sex out of wedlock with no hope of ever getting married, or try to find a man who will step up and be a man. But real men are rare nowadays, and getting rarer.

 

Non-land owners got the right to vote 70 years before women. I would not consider their plight equivalent. Would you?

You need to find new freinds. I have had friends that were "youths." I have friends that listen to hip hop. I have never known a pimp. If you are surrounded by pimps that is not hip hops fault. If you think as a percentage of the population there are more pimps around today then you need to read some history.

That is not a hip hop song. It is a song sung by a white person from England.

 

Since you've had enough, we won't be hearing from you anymore? Sounds good to me.

 

You're changing the question. Were they being disrespected when they couldn't vote? That's what I asked.

Are you blind and deaf to pop culture? You are not as dense as you are trying to play right now. Chris Brown beat the (*)(*)(*)(*) out of Rihanna and didn't even lose a step. People wagged a finger at him, but nobody really cared that much. Not only has his success not been hurt, but she even went back to him. This is our culture's present day definition of "respect for women" that you think is so much better than 50 years ago. We celebrate domestic abusers because they're just so darn cool.

Being way too literal here. Wasn't necessarily referring to Prodigy. I was referring to an attitude. Although, for the record, Maxim Reality is black. Keith Flint is not the only vocalist in that band. So you didn't even get that entirely right.

 

Insecurity at this level demands professional help.

 

If you have to ask whether it is disrespectful to deny the women the right to vote then you are beyond my help. At least your question explains the Republican war on women.

I am actually proud to say yes. Most people who are busy and have responsibilities don't have time to follow the lives of every celebrity and stay abreast of latest music trends. As an adolescent I used to wonder why my dad was so out of touch. Once I grew up and got some actual responsibilities I realized he was just to busy to be worried about what Rhianna was doing on a daily basis. That's what I find so amazing about Blackrook's threads. He claims to be substantially older than me with a wife and three children and financial problems and yet he can be found on this forum at any hour of the day complaining about a nut shot gag in a commercial. What adult man with responsibilities is not only sitting around watching TV commercials but also taking time out of their schedule to type rants about them on the internet because they are emotionally upset about a stupid gag? I and several of my friends don't even own TVs. Well actually I own a TV now. I bought one after many years of not having one.

Instead of using FBI crime statistics or high quality sources to make your case you are using Chris Brown's record sales. You know I never looked this Chris Brown charecter up but you forced me to google him just to verify your astonishing claim. What I found was he had two double platinum records prior to beating the crap out of Rhianna. Post fight he has had zero. I wouldn't characterize that as not missing a step.

It has been objectively demonstrated that his post beat up record sales are no where near the prefight highs. What on earth does Rhianna going back to her boyfriend have to do with anything? You honestly think women leave abusers at a lower rate in 2013 than during the 1800s?! Do you have any objective evidence to support that assertion?

What?! I've seen plenty of black and white movies that celebrate gangsterism where the likes of Humphrey Bogart slapped women around on a regular basis. Those movies were made in the good ol' days when men really knew how to treat a woman. Those films are considered "classics." Humphrey Bogart is considered a legend.

Going around and cherrypicking pop culture stories is not the way you analyze the plight of women in America. People magazine is not considered a scientific source.

I don't know all the names of all the people in these various groups. As has been established you have far more time to concern yourself with such things. The only person in my life who has ever told me they like that song was a Swwedish girlfriend I had years ago. She seemed to be able to listen to that song enjoy it and still live in a country where women are treated with far more respect than the United States during any decade. Post your crime statistics or reputable psychology or sociology studies and we will talk. I simply cannot analyze the sociological and psychological situation of the majority of Americas based on the discography of a random singer.

 

You are completely wrong in your assessment.

When the white man is raced upon, he does not need to stand idly by any more so than the black man needs to when he is raced upon.

There is racism in America. Bigotry. Female Fascism. Defamation.

Your assumption that the white man is excluded from such things is absurd.

White power!

 

Oh, wow. I honestly thought you were above this. Not only did you dodge the question a second time and attempt to deflect with the exact same deflection, but you even took it one step further and pulled out a straw man talking point.

Honestly, Junky, I can tell from the way you type that you're not one of those people. Why are you acting like one here? Just answer the (*)(*)(*)(*) question, will you? Were non-land owners being disrespected when they couldn't vote? Yes or no?

Then what's your argument here? By your own admission you have no idea what's even going on today. Do you not see how ridiculous your position is? "I don't know what I'm talking about, but I know that I'm right."

The guy is still a superstar. His career is far from over. And I only used him as one example to prove a point about our culture today. A point you seem content to avoid by sticking your head in the sand and bragging that you don't pay attention to it. Women are more disrespected and objectified today than ever before. And our culture celebrates it and makes money on it. And the worst part? Hypocritical feminists won't even go after the places where it's most rampant, like the entertainment industry, because they're too busy manufacturing phony political talking points like the one you parroted above - "the Republican war on women" - in order to win elections. It's not about women at all. It's not about respect. It's only about selfish agendas and partisan power grabs.

Ah, how convenient your examples. This same era also produced countless movies like Gone With the Wind featuring Scarlett O'Hara slapping Rhett Butler just for saying something that ruffled her feathers. Women slapped men all the time back then for "not being gentlemen" and no one thought anything of it.

Who's cherry picking now?

Backpedal, backpedal, backpedal.

 

Of course they were being disrespected. It is disrespectful to disenfranchise anyone for no reason other than they don't have testicles or they prefer to rent vs own. Do you need me to spell that out for you? You think denying people the right to vote is okay? Is that a conservative principle?

I'll take you word for it. I don't subscribe to People Magazine.

 

So context means nothing to you then. Fair enough.

PJ, just stop. Your projections are getting worse with each post. I think I've thumbed through a copy of People magazine maybe less than ten times in my entire life. You've run out of arguments and you're now resorting to ad hominem.

 

So I guess if I say I didn't like how they had slaves in the 1800s you are going to say context means nothing to me. That's sick.

"If all you got outta this was something racial, then get a life."?

 

This thread is still here?

Does the OP:

• Believe that this stereotype does not exist in the wild to the point most of us have seen similar behavior and can identify it when seen?

• Believe that it would be racist if blacks were shown in a commercial as you believe them to "really be"?

 

Word, son. Keep it 100.
