Snoop Dogg...


OK. I am offended by the term "old-ass white men." Anyone else with me on this?

Well not yet; give me 20 or 30 years. You should hold a press conference. See if you can get snoop dropped from his label.
 
Sharpton and Jackson will never pull out all stops against Snoop like they did Against Imus.

Why? Snoop is black. Imus is white.

Misconception. Stern went to satellite radio because a) he was tired of the FCC-imposed limitations on his speech and b) Sirius offered him a trainload of cash (apparently, $600 million with bonuses and counting for the term of his contract). Nobody fired him and he would have been - probably was - offered millions of dollars to stay on terrestrial radio.

Here's the Imus take of Phil Hendrie, a radio comedy genius if ever there was one.

He wasn't fired, but if satellite was not available to him as an option, he would of had to make serious changes or be fined out of existence. No one can say anything if you have the support. Man Cow has been under attack recently and losing some stations because he's extremely offensive. Imus was on a network station. Maybe he can find a niche in satellite radio too. He wasn't banned from the airwaves, just fired by MSNBC. Big difference.

Why should that matter since it wasn't a racist comment? He's talking about "hos" man. You know, people who prostitute from a non-specific gender or some bs dictionary defenition.

I personally don't take what he says makes any difference. However if the people out against Imus are going to be consistent then they need to go after Snoop Dogg and nearly all of the other rappers as well for objectifying women and being overall misogynousts.

Don't know how those definitions you've posted proves anything. Your grammar in the post in question was perfect. However you used the wrong word at one point. That is a diction error. I taught you something today. You could show me more appreciation than an already overused eye-rolling smiley. Jeez. Did you look up "euphemism" yet?

Wrong. Using one word in replace of another would be faulty grammar (according to definition). "Diction" is defined as dictating words to be transcribed. Totally different.


Have I "looked up" euphemism? No. I don't need to. I know what it means.

Slapping you around is like taking candy from a baby, except not evil.

From Merriam-Webster

Def. 2 is the operative one here. Please show me a definition of grammar that's about using one word in place of another.

In a previous post you said...

Because both "hook nose" AND "Zionist" almost always mean Jewish while neither "nappy headed" or "hos" means black. "Hooked nosed Zionist" clearly is implying Jewish because Jews are stereotyped as having hookednoses while "Zionist" is also a euphemism for Jewish. However "Ho" isn't a euphemism for "black" and "nappy haired" isn't racist.

but...

Main Entry: eu·phe·mism
Pronunciation: 'yü-f&-"mi-z&m
Function: noun
Etymology: Greek euphEmismos, from euphEmos auspicious, sounding good, from eu- + phEmE speech, from phanai to speak -- more at BAN : the substitution of an agreeable or inoffensive expression for one that may offend or suggest something unpleasant; also : the expression so substituted

So is "Zionist" in place of "Jewish" the substitution of an inoffensive expression for one that may offend?

Please do remain steadfast in light of obvious facts. It's funny.

Maybe it is evil. I was totally hands-off until he said that perm was nappy hair. Since then it's been like an avalanche. Can I stop? He's so precocious at his age -- imagine what a schmuck he'll be in 10 years. And hey, he doesn't look 14 in the picture. Gotta hand it to him too, he's got pretty thick skin for an adolescent.

I have already.
Grammar is more correct terminology.
