So, if the song were by a Jewish artist, would it be okay if someone said "this song almost justifies Hitler?" NO!!! There are some things you can't joke about-- not that anything should be taboo, and we have freedom of speech. But there is always some truth to jokes, as far as what the person really feels, and there are jokes made in really bad taste. Yeah, it's a joke, but it's not funny. It's ignorant.

I like that Jimmy was willing to say that anyway. He obviously didn't state that he was actually racist, and people act like it's a lot worse than what it is: Just ignorance for a reason to hate. Many people have hated others for superficial reasons which is no different. I sometimes joke about things that I don't believe at all, although I don't think of how bad I might sound at times. Sorry, but seriously, most people who I've met personally who tend to point the finger at racism ARE racist, and I'm not saying that you are.
Also, I see why people would hate Lil' Jon as much as they do. But it's really not that unintelligent, while not that brilliant. There's no real depth, but not a whole lot of mainstream hip-hop these days has it in the first place. The music sounding the same has to do with his yell sounding the same, as well as the obviousness of his beats.

I apologize if I offended anyone by the joke. Although I know it was controversial to say that, no offense to Josh, Bob or any other black members of this board was meant. My friend made a joke that I thought was kinda funny about how bad Lil Jon is.
Also, I made the non-PC cdisclaimer because 15 years ago, that joke could be told in any comedy club in America and get laughs.

The reality show about the Beverly Hillbillies can't even be made because people claim its offensive. And "rural white folks" were the last group Americans can make fun of . Thats the problem with everyone having to be PC nowadays. The world needs to lighten up.

Yes, Josh was very offended. His african female status was greatly hurt.

Even though you're just quoting him, that's absolutely ignorant and sickening to even read.Β Only if you take it too seriously.

Because all black people do music like this?Β Because all black people have these viewpoints?Β Because all black people like music like this? Even though you're just quoting him, that's absolutely ignorant and sickening to even read.Β How in the hell one producer's music could make you hate an entire race, I can't even imagine. You are absolutely the most uptight person I've ever encountered.Β :o It was a joke, and it was meant to be taken that way. Sure, it might have been way politically incorrect, but MY GOD, IT WAS A JOKE!

That's the end of any comments that can even be perceived as slightly racist. Watch what you say or you will lose your account.
