right though white teenagers are gonna be shitty no matter what, as a Jew I got a ton of the Eric Cartman stuff growing up. though had South Park never existed I'm sure it just would've been something else.

Kinda on-topic - I walked into my son's preschool classroom recently and did a doubletake at one of their art projects.

That's what my first glance told me.

i don't understand why that NPR article is circulating like grumpy cat in 2014 when there was literally a top 10 song with that melody on the billboard singles chart 8 years ago
― grindie cindy (Whiney G. Weingarten), Wednesday, 14 May 2014 20:47 (ten years ago) link
It's almost like a hip-hop song isn't sufficient enough grounds to talk about something, but it is when the predominately white NPR gives it some shine, hmmmmm

that's why i called out the source, not the author
― grindie cindy (Whiney G. Weingarten), Wednesday, 14 May 2014 21:11 (ten years ago) link
And not even the source because, NPR is totally great for running it!
I'm mainly confused why everyone is picking up on it and reblogging it when there was a legitimate cultural artifact that people were making the exact same points about eight years ago
― grindie cindy (Whiney G. Weingarten), Wednesday, 14 May 2014 21:16 (ten years ago) link
8 years ago is a longtime on the internet whieny
― marcos, Wednesday, 14 May 2014 21:17 (ten years ago) link
because no one was that emotionally invested in it then and people have a pop culture memory of less than eight years?
probably the people invested in it then and npr listeners aren't that overlapping, either
― a strange man (mh), Wednesday, 14 May 2014 21:18 (ten years ago) link
it's almost like hip-hop hasn't really been relevant in the larger culture for nearly a decade now
― balls, Wednesday, 14 May 2014 21:18 (ten years ago) link
or that the means thru which ppl share stuff on the internet are different than they were eight years ago

it's almost like that times article deals w/ the issue as an aside in a brief blurb while the npr thing uses it to demonstrate how if you scratch beneath the surface of even the most anodyne thing in america you will find virulent racism lurking in its history
