Date: 2013-07-17 03:42 am (UTC)He retweeted someone saying 'Not about RACE..simply about justice my G!' about the Zimmerman case.
Like, who asked you? You're not black. You have no skin in the game. This colorblind bs

Date: 2013-07-17 02:47 pm (UTC)It's not white children and adults that are being murdered carelessly and to say otherwise ignores the real problem: how racism in the USA is responsible for black people being hunted down and killed and then convincing people, with the help of the media, that it was our fault.
- Being friends with POC (people of color, minorities) doesn't excuse you from being a racist.
- Yes, Jay is Asian himself, but being of East Asian descent, there is no stereotype (that I know of) that would make white people or cops afraid of Jay because he's Korean like they would someone Black. Men of East Asian descent are usually stereotyped as weak, funny (to laugh at), nerdy, having a small penis, can't drive, easy to bully, etc. And when you're emasculated, it's hard to be seen as a threat. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stereotypes_of_East_Asians_in_the_United_States#Emasculation_and_asexuality
- It's not like I can forbid him from giving his opinion, but that opinion can have consequences. Seeing people brush off racism and act like it's not a factor in this case pisses me off. As I mentioned earlier, murders like Trayvon happens frequently to black people, not to someone like Jay.

Date: 2013-07-17 06:17 pm (UTC)However, before we get to that conclussion I think that we have to consider that he retweeted @Acehood, who being an Afroamerican rapper/producer himself has endured all the crap POC face everyday as I read in some of his interviews.
Reading Acehood's tweets you can see that he talks how differently things would have been if Trayvon was the killer, making clear the jury's own racism on their veredict. So when @Acehood tweeted "Not about RACE..simply about justice my G!" IMO, I don't think he's brusshing of racism as a factor in the crime. For the context of his tweets I think he refers to the jury's own racism and that the trial shouldn't being biased by the jury own racism but justice should come first.
Here are his tweets and thank you for taking your time to explain things.

Date: 2013-07-18 12:57 am (UTC)Being a Black person myself, you're not always in the know about racism and the different ways it can affect you. Every since we were enslaved by whites, we have been condemned for simply being Black. Our skin tone, our hair, the way we talk, our religions, our food, etc. Basically everything that makes us different from white people, we have been mocked for (this is why Black kpop fans don't like blackface or culture appropriation). In turn, some Black people have figured it's best to shun their own culture, mock their own race, make light of Black people's struggle. LL Cool J's recent country collaboration comes to mind. He was called out by Black people about what he said in the song.
But unfortunately, some Black people are like this and are in ~*~ colorblind, post-racial, let's hold hand, la la land ~*~. But it's not going to solve the real problem of racism in the first place.

Date: 2013-07-18 06:34 pm (UTC)I know the polarization this have caused and smh if Jay actually believes that race had nothing to do in the case. Praying for his ignorant soul if that is the case tbh. I wonder why he or @Acehood werent called out the hell of them about this.
Well, this was long. Thank you for your patience.

Date: 2013-07-19 12:49 am (UTC)No problem. Thanks for being open about it. It's not like I think Jay should be stoned or anything, just ... stick to music haha

Date: 2013-07-18 04:15 am (UTC)However, in your posts it seems to me that you wanted people to see and understand the plight of black people.. How they are being targeted of constant abuse, racism, etc.
I find it hypocritical of you of wanting Jay, a non-black, to shut up about "black matters" yet you expect people to have a deeper understanding on the reality that black people still experience today.

Date: 2013-07-18 04:54 am (UTC)Get some reading comprehension, child
How is that hypocritical? So I said that someone who is NOT black to not go around saying that a black teenager being hunted down and murdered wasn't about race. Imagine that. /sarcasm
Go away
no subject
Date: 2013-07-18 05:50 am (UTC)It's hypocritical because you seemed to be so passionate about this issue, yet, when someone takes a stand, forms an opinion, or show an agreement to another person's opinion on the matter, you tell them to shut up just because he is not black. It seems to me you don't want to hear non-black people's opinion just because of their color yet here you are harping about the unfair treatment of black people in the society.
You take this whole thing so seriously without even looking into the whole context. Jay retweeted one tweet of Acehood but that tweet was in context with all of Acehood's previous tweet.
