Eminem being racist!?

[Movie mogul]

"Now, to get at the heart of the subject, here we have a white boy, Eminem, who has benefitted so much from us black people, economically and culturally to be specific. Saying things that are out right racist and offensive to us as black people and specifically to our wonderful African Black
Women. In an article by Shaheem Reid of MTV News it states that ten years ago Eminem recorded tracks that were of a racist nature. In one of the songs Eminem says “All the girls I like to bone have big butts/ No they don't, 'cause I don't like that ****** sh--/ I'm just here to make a bigger hit.” As Em says, he’s just here to make a bigger hit; he “don’t like that ****** sh--” but we must remember that he continues to pimp and to love the ****** sh-- of his million-dollar slave 50 cent as long as he keeps producing those green backs. He is even executive producer of the Tupac film Resurrection's Soundtrack, continuing with the Eminem philosophy “I'm just here to make a bigger hit.”

What do you think about this?

[mentiroso]

More power to him. He is making millions of dollars and it isnt all white people buying his stuff. Get over yourself.

[IdahoMR2man]

There's a point in there someplace...just not sure where....

[AnGeL's_BaBe03]

Leave him alone

[Rogue]

Eminem being racist and offensive..who would have thought? :rolleyes:

[Warren]

Well not that I agree with what Movie Mogul said but, slave drivers were around blacks all day too.

[Rabbit]

technically, the black could be considered being racist toward themselves...
Eminem says he likes "big butts", but doesnt say BLACK butts. White chicks can have big butts too, right?

Any race of people can have big butts.Who cares:rolleyes:

Let me clarify something to Mentiroso, firstly i did not write this. It is purely and simply copy/pasted of a site.
I don't have much of an opinion on this really, i just find it strange that someone coming from an african american area in detroit could say things like that on tape.

[mentiroso]

It has been clarified!

[Diablo]

Em later on apologized if i can remember correctly, he said he was young and dumb..

[Spawn]

Eminem is pretty gay

[Pointy Shrub]

eminem = gaybo.

[Knerys]

What esle is new heh. At least he's being honest, and at least he's got something to say.

[Movie mogul]

What i'm really curious to know is what his group D12 think about all this? I mean, they are black and therefore they must have something to say about it!

[Warren]

I heard somewhere that he apologised for it, saying that he said that when he was a kid, and didn't know better.

yea thats what he said.. and i said that already :p

[emmortalthug]

i dont care for eminem as much as i used to but

come on he's not racists look at all the black friends he had before he became popular, D12 he grew up with them,snoop dogg dr dre brought him into the rap game,

just because 1 song that leaked from some guys that want to destroy eminems carear, doesnt meen you should believe it, Look at all the black rappers that dis eachother and call them selfs ***** isnt that Racist? plus that song was made 10 Years ago, im sure there are Millions upon millions of songs that rappers have made that are in archives that havent been released because they fear the same bad publicity,

[Movie mogul]

I agree with you totally emmortal thug. What matters is that he's probably not racist now, and thats what counts eh? He brings money to the rap industry. He has praised black people such as Tupac Shakur and Biggie Smalls in his songs.

[pixiness]

eminem said something offensive? I am Andi's complete lack of surprise. ;)

[iice]

D12...i ddnt even think about them, Dr Dre came to my mind when i first heard abt this...i wonder what he has to say abt all this. anyways am not a big fan of Em but i do like his songs coz he's totally crazy and well as to the lyrics he wrote...i cud say its not all abt the lyrics afterall he got beef with Benzino...

[Movie mogul]

Benzino is lame as well as a crap rapper. In terms lyrically, eminem is the better rapper and there's no doubt about it.
Its all because of Benzino that this tape came to surface! In his desperate journey to ridicule and spoil eminem's carreer, he found this tape with racist lyrics!
BLAME BENZINO! lol.

[EonBlueÆnima]

i dont like eminem anyways...

[Movie mogul]

Its true that Eminem is not very likeable.

[REDKISH 4X4]

EMINEM RACIST? That's it! ''Well, gotta go, i'm almost at the bridge now, ooh, *****, I forgot, I forgot to send this ***** out!''
The man who invented this IS racist!

[Movie mogul]

Yeah, but what has that got to do with anything Redkish?

[Switzer]

But aren't we all kinda racist?

[zamphir66]

I have big butts.

To be absoulootly honest, I was once. But I didn't understand what was the seriousness of that word meant. I'll never say that word again. I swear to my relegion and my family I'll never repeat it again.

[Madness]

Anyone ever consider that Em's also just adhering to a medium that's already rampant with that type of talk?? I mean, black peoplwe use that word all teh time ESPECIALLY in rap music, but if a white guy comes along and tries the same thing he gets torn apart by the seams for doing the exact same thing?!?!? Why, cuz he's white?? I mean, isn't that racist??? It's complete bull!!! If black people don't like that word, then they shouldn't use it and therefore perpetuate it's use!!

Godammit, is everyone stupid except for me???

[Movie mogul]

First of all madness when black people say nigga they don't mean it in the same way a white person would . Eminem was actually saying black girls were stupid and being racist. White people are not suppose to call black people ******s, it only "applies" when blacks talk to each other.

[LaneO]

i like eminem, hes just so mean.lol

[Garnet Spring]

Warning: There is no one set of rules for how black people speak to one another. All plack people do not act the same way.

[Movie mogul]

True but we are talking about the rappers, and they call each other that not out of racism.

So a black guy saying it is being a hating gangsta, but a white guy saying is being racist?? It's still segregation. If they're really so offended by the word, then lead by example and stop using it. Don't gimme this whole, "Oh, only WE can say it." No, there's no segregation any more, that's what we're working against. And whoever supports that is setting their movement back.

It's unfortunate this still needs to be EXPLAINED to people, especially nowadays...

[Movie mogul]

They are being hating gangsta's in one sense but in another they are not. I can't be bothered to look up about it but i'm sure there is something behined the word n-i-g-g-e-r being used between african americans??
