Ignorance has a name

I’ve tried as much as possible to ignore that site which shall not be named and its asinine attributes ever since I stumbled upon it 2 weeks ago. Listening to the founder of said site defend his odious intentions on radio was the last straw that broke the camel.

A few things to consider:
-The site is named after a famous 5-word racial epithet (or “term of endearment” depending on where you stand on the debate.)
-The founder is an 18-year old high school kid
-Goes by a fake name, Tyrone–a stereotypical African-American name
-He’s obviously white but uses the N-bomb freely
-Cites hip-hop as the inspiration for the site’s name
-And as you can tell from the site’s logo, black folks are nothing but a bunch of faceless, headband-rocking people, with chains dangling around their necks to this ill-informed white kid, who’s probably still running around in underoos.

Someone needs to check that hideous imbecile and shut the site down before this stuff gets completely out of hand. Shame on anyone who has the audacity to sign up for an account on a site that’s clearly degrading to the black community. It’s like you’re saying “Thanks for giving me this site so I can shit on niggas.”

Listen: Tyrone defending his racist site

Wow, it’s truly cats like him that give other white guys in the hip hop family a bad rep. A bad first impression. Ignorance far precedes the double-standard and this kid fully implements that. Consider me filing mad emails on ya behalf!

2. Illmatic620 Says:

rofl 2Pac was right “everyone wants to have shit like this, everyone wants to be the have-nots”

Shouldnt that kid be listening to Coldplay or the Red Hot Chilli Peppers :P

Honestly, I kinda now see were Bill Cosby is coming from when he bashes hiphop

3. Trent Says:

I’m agreement with you Rizoh. This dude is just ignorant. It’s a damn shame. I’m even more shocked by the people who signed up on the website. What are they thinking.

I also don’t like the other social networking websites like minorityspace.com and crackspace.com(??). While those websites may not be offensive to some, they do play on racial themes and stereotypes — particularly towards African-Americans and other people of color.

It’s a damn shame.

4. DAYNE Says:

RIZOH WHATS GOOD MY NIZOH.

YOU KNOW WHATS THE SAD PART ABOUT THIS IS, THERE ARE IGNORANT BLACK PEOPLE WHO ARE GOING TO GO TO THAT SITE.

5. Rizoh Says:

Trent,
I’m not a fan of those ‘labels’ either. But at least those sites are not as degrading as this other one. MinoritySpace has a partnership with NAACP, and Crackspace is leaning more towards hiphopcrack.com.

That other site is a big no-no.

6. Say Says:

Co-sign, Dayne

Can’t really lay all the blame on the white kid. I mean, black people are signin’ up to the site so they’re at just as much fault. Just another facet of the minstrel show BS.

7. Rizoh Says:

RIZOH WHATS GOOD MY NIZOH.

What’s good. I’m chillaxin’, getting my shit together for the weekend trip.

lol at “i sit with black kids at the lunch table”

9. Lamont Says:

Why do niggaz get all upset when non-niggaz use the term ‘nigga’? Damn niggaz, it’s just a word; if it’s such a problem niggaz need to stop sprinkling it on every other sentence in a rap song. And quit saying, “only niggaz can use the word “nigga”. Shit doesn’t make sense; if that’s the case, and niggaz own that word, then niggaz shouldn’t be allowed to eat Chinese food.

10. esbee Says:

When the N-word gets out of hand and ends up biting us in the behind.

11. Trey Says:

Southpark H-Town all day

12. Dayne Says:

HEY RIZOH, WHATS GOOD I’M A DUDE MY NIZOH.

13. ian Says:

Yo! For real: F-CK THIS NIGGA (and I don’t mean that in the demeaning blacks way)! And “Tyrone,” THERE IS A TOM, you f-cking moron!!! BTW: f-ck Lamont too, your argument is asinine. If you don’t know the history of this word, don’t come out your mouth with stupid-ass comments like that.

14. Roc_Representa Says:

Why is the Jay-Z picture there?

1, for the facial expression.
2, Tyrone made a reference to hip-hop in his argument, and I heard somewhere that Jay-Z is the “CEO of Hip-Hop.”

18. Jattle Barz Says:

19. frankster04 Says:

Barack Obama + Pete Rock = classic.

Shout out to Obi. The blog world needs you dawg.

21. keisheloca Says:

People can be so ignorant and they’re actually giving this dumb little boy all this attention

22. Anonymous Says:

you are stupid for not recognizing what his real intention is. I mean who hasnt used the word nigga .. i mean common. The dude seems innocent. You people just wana find an excuse to shun him and jump on the hate bandwagon. Grow the fuck up. Its not like he said NIGGER… damn man.. you would expect hip hop lovers to understand where the dude is commin from. i pitty all of u who this this guy is lame.

23. Illmatic620 Says:

actually hes a dumb kid but hes gonna make some money off this, he isnt as ignorant as I thought

24. Illmatic620 Says:

Listened to the rest of the interview, I want to lynch this mofo (no pun intended)

25. Rizoh Says:

State your name or fuck off. The kid doesn’t even understand the implication of that word, so what’s your argument?

26. Silent D. Says:

Damn! I went to that site and also listened to the interview. That is the most ignorant shit I have ever seen and heard! The only thing I have to say is that Hip-Hop is not responsible, nor the music it produces, for this or his way of thinking. Lack of knowledge and ignorance is responsible for this.

27. Rizoh Says:

Ight TRU-bians I’m off to magic city in a few hours. Don’t turn T.R.U. into a warzone while I’m gone. See you guys in four days.

28. small Eyez Says:

their would never be no fuckin Keikspace.

29. Illmatic620 Says:

Have fun Rizoh, when you come back the place will be empty.. we’ll all be at Byron Crawford’s blog lol

30. Ya Dig?! Says:

That shit makes me sick. Suburban white kids with no parental guidance, no real education, and too much time on their hands. It’s a damn shame that people are willing to jeapordize what’s litle ammount of morality they may have for some money and showtime. And it’s even worse to think that most of these African-American stereotypes that are out here today have been created and glorified by a large majority of Black role models in the Urban communities. I’m half black/half white and I don’t even like using the word myself. And when a person that isn’t of color takes it upon themself to exercise the word “nigga” around me they definitely catch wreck for it. I just think it’s time that we (minorites in general) break the stereotypes in another way then trying to water them down or strip the entire meaning out of them through the means of exploitation.

Don’t support this clown by an means. He had a goal to “get some recognition” through controversy whether good or bad, and he has accomplished it. There is nothing wrong with having a good idea and pursuing it. But make sure the idea is actually a GOOD one (cause this isn’t).

And when people start to find out who that kid running “the site” is…Someone is going to take the liberty to kick the living sh!t out of him! I’d like to see a video of that here…ya dig?!
