It couldn't be going worse, Keith.

You're talking about a black art form, with DJ Khaled doing what every hypeman in the history of the genre has done since its inception; there is no context where saying he's being inappropriate in what he's doing is not racial.

I promise you, your appeals to "race-baiting" (of all things) as a justification of what's going on are not putting you on the political side of the spectrum you usually associate yourself with.

I doubt this will be sufficient to not sound like anything I've said before but I sincerely and genuinely believe you lack context which you aren't willing to hear.

For real; I hope it's mostly just one instance. I haven't been paying attention to instances but it feels shockingly widespread on Lemmy (but, given lemmy.world's size, it could just be that).

Thanks for backing me up and keeping me from feeling crazy.

Ah; I thought you were approaching and conversing in good faith. My mistake.

If you're unfamiliar with the tone policing of "not following proper decorum" (and that's exactly what "he doesn't need to be shouting his name on every song" is; it's not a debate about whether he can: it's an assertion that that's not an appropriate way to behave for the setting), then you should probably familiarize yourself.

But, as a person with lived racial experience, I am very much not reaching.

I mean, I'd find it hard to say he's not, at all, an entertainer?

Like, I feel most people know him from seeing performances of him. He, essentially, performs the role of hypeman, a lot of times.

I certainly wouldn't disagree he also acts as a business man but I think he does a lot of entertainment-related work, as well.

I mean, that's always been the refrain around colored entertainers.

To save you what turned into a whole year for me, – if you have anyone else who can help you – tag team applying. I only started to see consistent interviews once my husband started helping and we started not only flooding every listing we could but, also, routinely applying before a lot of people got to them.

Good luck; one of the worst years of my life.

Roughly translated, it means, "We are men." It's a French term (as the French were the first to colonize the area) derived from the term "Illiniwek" which was used by the natives there to refer to (in English) the Illinois Confederation, a loosely organized group of 12 to 13 tribes who lived in the Mississippi River Valley.

I probably wouldn't engage in puppy play with Kristi Noem.

100% this.

Considering I never said that one doesn't have the right to not vote, I don't believe I am; but you are correct that I consider it a responsibility.

You're right but it seems like most people still missed that as the majority of comments think the joke is that it isn't blackface (rather than very clearly too close to blackface and Chang, somehow, not registering that).
