RACISM: A double standard.

[Catharsis]

I don't know how many of you battle and cyph in real life off the head or whatever, I would hope that all or the majority do, but you know....

I go to community college, lots of aspiring emcees of all races. During free periods, at lunch, and after school... hella battles and just cyphs pop off. Shit used to be mad fun but this week there's been a problem.

For those who don't know, I'm mixed race....a few types of white, mexican, native american and even some black for good measure. I happen to have a latino last name though, so people assume I'm mexican or puerto rican. Honestly racist jokes don't really apply to me much less offend me... but if you're gonna spit 60 seconds of mexican jokes about my dad mowing lawns and my grandpa picking grapes.... why wouldn't it be cool that I call you on whatever stereotype your race has?

It goes down like this....Me and this kid that calls him self KenOB were both just spitting, he's black....I'm me.... like I said, for a solid 2 verses he just goes on some super simpleton racist shit, 90 percent was highly unoriginal and not even very funny. Mostly stuff about me landscaping and coming across the border.... then he outright called me a "fucking tijuana beaner"....

For my verse, I mostly called him on being a racist, but no one was feeling me, so I went for the jokes and said stuff like he looked like ken'TOBY'... and his real name was Kenta Kinte.... I rhymed "Fucking Queer" and "Chuck a Spear"... stuff like that.

I shit you not.... everyone was hella mad that I was going racist.... but no one was mad that he said way more derogatory shit...

What's the deal with that shit?

lol...damn...

its funny because in most live battle settings...you'd get mad props for going there with him.

example: i battle in this league here in Baltimore...a real gritty place where the crowd is tough and the competition is raw and aggressive...there are a few white cats...and when they battle black dudes...they DEFINATELY go there. to me...its a sign that you are confident in ya self and that you can go hard just like them.

i bet dude felt the sting more than you did too

I truly don't get it fam....I'm like... don't say shit that you wouldn't want said back to you. Don't cross a line.... if you have that same line. Double standards are bull shit.

I remember a while ago @Krhyme SAVES had a thread about punching a dyke bitch if she was size/strength proportionate to you..... to me it's the same shit. Equal rights, equal fights. If you're gonna call me a spic, I can call you a coon. I don't know whats with the sensitivity to people's feeling lately.

I like that you were responding just as I was referencing you.
Yea famz... like I said...the race jokes don't really offend me, so I was definitely missed by that bullshit. It was just surprising to see him so mad at some super light shit. Roots jokes? That's not even real offensive race joke material.

I guess thinking about it now, the audience was mostly white guys aside from the rappers and the few token black and mexican guys.... maybe they were just scared to laugh at my jokes. Either way....shit was gay. Everyone thinks I'm racist now hahahaha. I'm like yeah... I hate one eighth of myself.

Like I said to Fuel...EVERYONE is equally flawed. We draw our own lines. Just like the one between daily life and entertainment.
