If he really wanted to write about a "shit show of racists" he should've picked up any of several of those threads discussing immigration.

[–]beernerdFriendswood 24 ポイント25 ポイント

“Their culture legitimizes violence and ignorance, listen to 97.9 for a couple tracks and see why these guys think this shit is cool,” wrote user GeauxHouston22. “If you call it out, guess what: you’re a filthy awful racist.”

He probably didn't realize the scope of his prediction. But the author's argument hinges on the assumption that "their culture" means "black culture" when it could just as easily mean "gang culture". You don't have to be black to be a part of gang culture, and you would have a hard time arguing that gang culture is unfairly stereotyped as one that "legitimizes violence".

I also find it a bit ironic that the author is making generalizations about an entire subreddit based on the comments of a few members.

[–]HellsHalfAcre 6 ポイント7 ポイント

That is what I pulled away as well. He takes a comment clearly pointed at gang/hiphop culture and immediately makes is a "black culture" thing. I know tons of whites and hispanics and asians who glorify that culture and I think they're all equally stupid. Check out this guy. Born in Houston, raised in a nice white neighborhood. But he is all tatted up, sagging his pants and glorifying that culture. He's also white if you haven't noticed.

But Kyle Nazario, the "author" of this article makes a leap that just isn't there to try and write a click bait hit piece and get noticed. Pretty shithead thing to do.

[–]beernerdFriendswood 2 ポイント3 ポイント

And as a result, FPH readers think /r/houston is nothing more than a racist community.

[–]RootHoustonUniversity of Houston 3 ポイント4 ポイント

Yeah, for the record. That was what I was trying to get at by saying this wasn't a "black culture" issue. It's a "ghetto culture" (I guess you could say "gang culture") issue.

[–]beernerdFriendswood 1 ポイント2 ポイント

Ghetto Culture does sound more accurate.

[–]poptamalePearland -5 ポイント-4 ポイント

nope most of that thread specifically said "black culture" and not "hip hop" or 'gangster culture".

[–]beernerdFriendswood 7 ポイント8 ポイント

I just read the thread and most of the comments are not racist at all. And I was only referring to the comment I quoted. Stop trying to misrepresent the facts.

[–]poptamalePearland -3 ポイント-2 ポイント

Dude we must not be reading the same article, im reading things like "Because in general, white, American culture does NOT legitimize violence..." and "Something is very wrong within the black community..." oh and ""Savages, the whole lot of ‘em." and lets not forget "Can we send them back to New Orleans yet?"

What exactly am i misrepresenting cause those were all comments above the negative (hidden) threshold?

[–]beernerdFriendswood 5 ポイント6 ポイント

You're cherry picking a couple of racist comments in a thread with dozens of non-racist and even anti-racist comments. That's the very definition of misrepresentation.

[–]poptamalePearland -1 ポイント0 ポイント

look we obviously see that thread 2 different ways (glass half empty/full) so i'll agree to disagree...

[–]boshausFirst Ward -1 ポイント0 ポイント

did you read the responses to what he said?

[–]poptamalePearland -2 ポイント-1 ポイント

Yes i do, and while i see people arguing back and forth, my point was that the racist comments existed throughout this thread, and many were kept alive by other racist.

Why is Free Press doing half-baked social commentary? I thought they booked mediocre lineups.

[–]NuclearWookiee -2 ポイント-1 ポイント

SJW race and gender wars are guaranteed link-bait. It's proliferating there for the same reason it appears on web version of otherwise-reputable outfits like Time and the Guardian.

[–]CheapBeerBellaire -1 ポイント0 ポイント

Lol, did you finally get banned under your original name for making so many inflammatory comments, dumbass?

[–]NuclearWookiee -2 ポイント-1 ポイント

Not in /r/houston.

[–]garenzy 6 ポイント7 ポイント

This can be easily solved by replacing any instance of "black culture" with "mainstream rap culture".

e.g. "There will always be crazy people who do crazy shit regardless of race...but EVERYTHING about black mainstream rap culture in America glorifies violence and drugs and general savagery..."Look how cool it is to be a criminal!" is the general attitude."

[–]RootHoustonUniversity of Houston -1 ポイント0 ポイント

This culture is not really about black people after all. It's about a culture that is transcendent of color.

[–]RootHoustonUniversity of Houston 3 ポイント4 ポイント

It seems like FPH writer is pissed off about someone generalizing "black culture", yet turns around and does the same thing about both black and white cultures just in the opposite way. It's not that simple. Ghetto culture is not a color issue. It's an American issue.

I'm fully aware this is gonna be a shit post with shit comments, but the karma struggle is real, fellas.

That said, I think the article has some valid points, the most notable of which was that there's a lot more to "black culture" than radio hip-hop, and it's pretty reductive to characterize a culture by what Clear Channel is trying to sell them. Like calling MTV "American Culture" or 93Q Country "White Culture," it's not entirely incorrect, but it leaves a lot out. Most of the other points aren't really anything new.

Of course, the author isn't actually trying to understand anyone's point of view, nor is he really trying to convince anyone to change their thinking, but rather just pointing at people and calling names and preaching to the Tumblr choir about how ignorant random internet commenters are.

[–]beernerdFriendswood 24 ポイント25 ポイント

He also neglects to point out that the majority of those racist comments were eventually downvoted out of sight.

[–]phorkor 7 ポイント8 ポイント

Noting that would have defeated the point of the article. It's key to leave specific details out in order to make your point relevant.

[–]poptamalePearland 9 ポイント10 ポイント

The most racist comment that this article was made for was the most upvoted comment in that post.

[–]beernerdFriendswood 2 ポイント3 ポイント

That's tough to verify seeing as the top comment has been deleted, but I did say "majority" rather than "all".

[–]spikeyfreakKaty -1 ポイント0 ポイント

And the responses are all talking about car shows, not anything inherently racist.

[–]boshausFirst Ward 1 ポイント2 ポイント

Agreed, and there were tons of comments (with lots of upvotes) calling out the racism that he glossed over.

[–]Zaracen 1 ポイント2 ポイント

We're talking about one thread but I've read plenty of racist things in this sub before. I think it's part internet anonymity and part misunderstanding. The bottom line is we're all human beings and hating each other for being a different race is getting us no where.

FPH should do a bit about racists on chron.com comments section next. Really ground breaking news material here folks.

[–]bdo11 2 ポイント3 ポイント

[–]phorkor 2 ポイント3 ポイント

I kind of wanted to comment, "Welcome to the internet" and leave it at that. While I don't necessarily disagree with what he wrote, he's beating a dead horse here. It's the internet. It's a public forum where people can hide behind screen names and say whatever ignorant thing they fell the need to and not have to stand by their words. It's been like this since the late 80's/early 90's with BBS's, IRC, AOL and likes. But hey, lets point it out again, and again, and again, and again. Plus, who cares what 50 people out of nearly 22k who are subbed have to say. It doesn't mean it's the collective attitude towards whatever specific race is the subject at the moment. Someone pointed out that one of the comments he mentioned was the top post in the thread. Ok, so what? Did it get 10k+ upvotes? If not, it's still not even half of the sub agreeing with the comment so it still doesn't represent how the majority of /r/houston feels.

I get it, he wants to point out that racism is still alive and kicking in America and more specifically, in /r/houston. Cudos bud, you pointed out the obvious. Not saying it's right, just that it's silly to point it out every 30 seconds when half the time it's just people saying stupid shit to get a rise out of others.

[–]Reddit_Always_RightMidtown 12 ポイント13 ポイント

Look, I don't condone 99.99% of these comments a single bit. But there is a disconnect when he slams Bill Cosby for saying certain sub-cultures breed negativity.

The author is equating negative comments toward a culture with prejudice against a race. Isn't that actually racist? Whites, Hispanics, inuits, native Americans, can all be part of that culture, right? Aren't you making the racist assumption that this cultural space could only be occupied with black people?

I come from Wyoming where, frankly, almost everyone is white. It is interesting to see how the same cultures exist in the north, yet they have entirely different demographics. People still voice disapproval of the car-loitering, gangster rap listening, aftermarket, lowriders, etc... All the crap complained about in these comments. But in the North, you can't just default to saying "RACISTTTTTTTTTT" because... Well... They are all white.

If a culture glorifies violence and hate, then I believe it is OK to not be supportive.

Unless, of course, you think culture should also be a legally protected class?

[–]the_toaster_lied 3 ポイント4 ポイント

Because the comments about the different "culture" are generalizing about the entire race.

And when someone says "something is very wrong with the black community", that is a negative comment against a race.

Try reading it again.

[–]Reddit_Always_RightMidtown 3 ポイント4 ポイント

Reread his article or Bill Cosby's statements that he is blasting?

Edit: you can downvote me, but it's a fair question... I was challenged to "reread something" rather than given any actual thoughtful points directed anywhere. What should I reread? Where can I begin this wild goose chase?

[–]stogiethedog 2 ポイント3 ポイント

First of all, "I hate the culture, not the people" is the oldest trick in the racist book. You can pretend it's not racism, but when you call it black culture, and assume every black person practices it until proven white enough for you, and the majority of the members of the culture are black, guess what, it's still fucking racist.

Furthermore, why are people acting like culture is some conscious choice? Could a random white American choose to be a member of the Chinese culture? Of course not, culture is dictated by your surroundings, your peers, your family, etc. This "ghetto culture" so many people pretend to be angry with also includes completely innocent and good people who just have to live in a poor neighborhood. The ghettos that exist in America are a result of the institutionalized racism that, while eroding as progress marches on, has controlled the destiny of many black Americans. To automatically decide that anyone who is a member of it is bad is inherently racist, besides, many people who dress like "thugs" and listen to rap music are completely lawful people.

At the very best, the "it's the hip hop culture" argument is extremely classist. At worst, it's classist and racist. But I think arguing the semantics of culture vs. the individual is just another tactic racists use to sidestep allegations of hate. Those weren't meaningful discussions of the differences in culture. They weren't debates on the differences in morality two groups of people can have. It wasn't a forum on the harm that a culture's worst aspects can do to a person. It was a hate-fest where bigots took a singular incident and decided to damn as many people they didn't like as possible, and no amount of post hoc rationalization will change that.

[–]Reddit_Always_RightMidtown 4 ポイント5 ポイント

Just to repeat myself:

I don't condone 99.99% of these comments a single bit

But if the author is really going to write an article pretending to shed the light on the most PC way we all out to strive to be, then I really think he ought to clean up his own remarks to get things set straight.

I agree that a lot of people use the "culture not race" thing as a way to make it ok to hate against a certain race. But I literally can name three people right now that are part of the Chinese and Korean cultures, that are white (red hair, freckles, bright as whiteout). They live it, breath it, and eat it (literally), day in all day every day. These people never want to hang out with me unless it is in China town.

Culture may not be a choice for everyone, but it certainly is a choice for a lot of people (maybe even most). Are you telling me I (7/8 white, 1/8 native american) can't join the "rap culture?" Why not? Can I join the "black culture?" If not, then it isn't a culture you're referring to, it's a race.

From the article:

“Their culture legitimizes violence and ignorance, listen to 97.9 for a couple tracks and see why these guys think this shit is cool,” wrote user GeauxHouston22. “If you call it out, guess what: you’re a filthy awful racist.”

You know why people call you a filthy awful racist? Because calling black culture synonymous with violence and ignorance is racist. You’re discriminating by race and making unfounded generalizations about an entire race of people.

I didn't read GeauxHouston's comments, so maybe elsewhere he directly referenced black people... but no where in the quote did he mention black people. He said "their culture," and he said if you listen to rap music, you'll see violence in that culture. I'd also like to reiterate that you can hear rap being played throughout that entire video.

Why jump to the conclusion that he is talking about "black culture," and why jump to the conclusion that he is referring to the race? Can't a person just dislike aggression, rap and tricked out cars? What's so wrong with that? Can't a person dislike loitering?

In my hometown in Wyoming, there was a grocery store called "Smiths." All the "Cowboys" would go there with their lift-kit trucks, loud deisel engines, smokestack exhaust systems, and they would loiter, drink, get in fist-fights, and then race their trucks up and down "CY Avenue." A lot of people hated that shit. They called them "those people." They began to hate the music those cowboys listened to, and started hating on lift-kits, and smokestack exhaust systems. People started to hate on "shit kickers" (boots), and Levi 501's. But no one called them racist. Why? Because it has nothing to do with race, and because they were all white so you couldn't pass the blame off onto race.

I'm literally just looking for some help here. PLEASE forget about the obvious racist people, becuase I dont' care about them and fully disagree with racism. But I dont' like loitering. I dont' like gangster rap (I need a melody). And I don't like violence. I don't like parking lot shoot outs. Does that make me racist, since apparently the author of this article has determined those elements are synonymous with "black culture," and can't seem to figure out if he thinks "black culture" is a race or a culture?

The author simultaneously refers to "black culture" as something that isn't unique to black people, and that not all black people are a part of, yet also makes the jump that all people that think there is a culture that supports those things must be racist bigots.

I just don't get it.

(edit: grammar) (edit: added a few more paragraphs)

[–]stogiethedog -2 ポイント-1 ポイント

The fact that you are confounding Chinese and Korean cultures tells me an actual Chinese or Korean person would probably disagree that your friends are a part of their respective cultures. But that's really a side issue.

People are assuming he meant black culture because the people in the video were black, and because popular "rap culture" isn't even predominantly "ghetto" anymore. Look at the Billboard hip hop charts. Number one is a white Australian woman. Number two toured with Lady Gaga. Number three is a jazz musician, and number four is Pharrell Williams. The biggest name in hip hop in general is Kanye West, who has never done the gangster rap thing.

But even that is largely beside the point. Are gamers and their culture inherently bad because of games like Call of Duty, where you kill people by the dozens? Should cinephiles be shunned because of Quentin Tarrinto and his violent films? Every culture has violent and non-violent media. The fact that they were listening to rap music is irrelevant, it's only brought up because it has an image of being "black music", so it provides a convenient path of criticism with an easy out.

I think a lot of this is just the usual offensive reddit jokes, that are only supposed to be taken in the context of the internet. We all know on reddit we make the most offensive joke we can think of because we can't get away with it in real life.

Meh, TL; DR, actually, stopped halfway. The writer's full of shit.

[–]Sleepy_One 15 ポイント16 ポイント

He has a good initial point:

You know why people call you a filthy awful racist? Because calling black culture synonymous with violence and ignorance is racist. You’re discriminating by race and making unfounded generalizations about an entire race of people.

But he has difficulty staying on a central point. He's angry, and you can see it in his writing. If he took some time to calm down, he could streamline his thoughts a bit more effectively. He also wildly takes something another person says out of context:

Furthermore, what people like this redditor call “black culture” is the shit that multi-national corporate record companies produce. It’s a bullshit image that sells a lifestyle, an idea, a theoretical paradise full of mocha-skinned women and fast cars and excessive profanity. (Not unlike the “72 virgins” touted by Al-Qaeda propaganda and mainstream beer commercials.)

when really that person was taking a moderate view, here is the full quote:

thug culture is just one facet of black culture that the media has popularized and that some, SOME in the black community have been brainwashed to believe is real black culture or what they should aspire to be. It benefits noone.

He's taking issue with the term Black Culture. Which is a fine position to take, but don't nitpick someone who is trying to argue that the majority of people in the Black community are not thugs.

Kind of shitty to leave the usernames visible so he can bring in a hate brigade from elsewhere to go after the people that left these comments. I realize they're posting under their usernames on here but publishing them in a separate article available to the outside world is a shitty thing to do. Kind of like going to another subreddit full of users that share your views and linking to a comment so users can go in and harass the person.

Woah there, tough guy. If you have an issue with what people are saying then speak up and speak your mind. Riling up a bunch of outsiders to come and fight your battle for you like a bunch of middle school kids "going to get their friends" when you piss them off is just sad.

[–]the_toaster_lied 1 ポイント2 ポイント

What if I speak my mind and then link to your comment so that others can see what an idiot you are?

(This is hypothetically speaking of course, I don't know that you're an idiot, and I've never linked to a comment for this purpose)

But just like you think it's shitty that someone would link to your idiotic comment, it's entirely possible for someone to think that your comment was shitty and that you deserve the anonymous berating that you get.

You may think it's sad, but it's entirely possible that someone else thinks it's sad that you take the anonymous forum as a place to spew your unsubstantiated mouth diarrhea.

That's the beautiful thing about an anonymous forum like Reddit. You may think it's shitty that someone else would do this, but that doesn't mean jack shit. I'll do whatever the fuck I want, including berating bigots and assholes, while regardless of what I say, bigots and assholes will continue to do whatever the fuck they want.

[–]miked1beMissouri City -1 ポイント0 ポイント

Sure, people will do what they want, doesn't make it any less of a dick move. I'm not saying this practice should be banned, just that there are better (and more professional) ways of doing things, especially for someone deciding to try to publish their work.

[–]the_toaster_lied 0 ポイント1 ポイント

I agree that maybe there's a better way.

But I have no problem with how this was done. If people don't want their username put somewhere else, they should stick to lurking.

We post on the internet with the understanding that something like this could happen. It's not like he's actually posting identifying information.

And if he is posting identifying information, that's on the original user. Not him. He has every right to use the information, and just because you think it's a "dick move" doesn't mean anything.

What about the magazines that post quotes from specific users? Even if they're in line with your views (or even the magazine's views), why is that better? It's leaving identifying information about an anonymous public account on a very well-known site, which has just as much possibility of drawing unwanted attention as something like this article does.

So I'll go back to my original statement.

If you don't want to get harassed for putting stupid shit on the internet, don't put stupid shit on the internet.

If you give me 5 minutes, I would be willing to bet I could find out who he is. The word you are looking for is "pseudonymous." A username is tied to a user, and therefore, by definition, is not anonymous. However, if he kept all links to his identity totally obscured then it could be functionally separate from his physical identity.... but still not anonymous.

Banksy is not anonymous... he has a name.
