that's all it's aboutNeurotik wrote:2bf i do think political correctness has got to a certain ridiculous level as of late, things are taken out of context to discredit and throw accusations at opponents, people over analysing and picking holes in any irrelivant thing and if anything i think most of it is a base of insecurity for people don't (but should) know any better. Yet i really cannot stand racism; to me it's just plain ignorance to generalise individual people under a certain banner based on skin colour. It reflects on the most primitive form of fear in humans to attack what they see as something different (regarding religion, culture, ect not only race). I get offended and pissed off whenever i hear a jobless chav sit and moan about how "asians are taking all the jobs", and i fucking hate the fact that the bnp is at all acceptable to anyone with a passion.
I didn't at all take alien pimp referring to obama as "homie" as racist, i just thought he was talking about the whole "obama is my homie" thing, which i can see that as racial steriotyping. I mean yeah, if someones out there dressed in ridiculous baggy clothing, talking and behaving like a prick for no real reason, i could see using "homie" in that way as just mocking the ridiculous image their trying to live upto because that's something that's not designated to a certain race ect, its a conscious choice idiots make to waste their life. There's a difference between someone who chooses to waste his mind and life on drugs, violence and gang culture and someone who works hard to become a successful politician, and there are people of every race that can fall into any one of these.
I enjoy things that challenge people to think more openly about the way things are in society, even certain comedies that may use that use racism in a way that mocks racism itself. I'd rather live in a world where people actually have genuine morals and believe that racism is a discustingly stupid arrogance rather than living in a world where people think "ooo, i wanna say this but i shouldn't because i want to be politically correct".
plus some people talking about things they don't even bother to understand, explained or obvious
so yeah, the people who see the term homie as diminishing are the actual victims of media stereotypes, because a homie's not necessarily a g, as they think of because their knowledge is mainly cheap tv and cinema originated
this is the definition i stick to, same as most of the black folks, so cut the crap and mind the prolonged detention:
http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=homie
1. homie
Shortened version of homeboy, homeboy being your close friend
"Whassup homie"
2. homie
Someone you grew up with, friend or not, and someone with whom you have shared any number of bonding experiences at home, in school, at work, or in any close-knit atmosphere. Homie means you have lived in the same area as this person for a significant amount of time in your life, but the term is appropriately used by those friends who truly feel comfortable referring to each other with such respect. It isn't a word that should be taken advantage of, because a person recognizes who is a friend and who isn't. Therefore, a true homie is always down, while lesser friends will just be out to use you, borrow money from you, bum a ride in your car, etc.
Yo, homie, I'll be at my house incase you want to come kick it later.
