No, it’s not racist at all.You are the problem if you can’t watch a show without prejudice and pointing out…
What? Double standards, where? These were questions for you, not statements. You just took everything i wrote out of context. I’m sorry but most of what you wrote doesn’t make any sense. You are ignoring truth and abandoning fact and reason just to prove your narrative. I NEVER told anyone in the comments that they are uneducated or ignorant, why are you lying tho? I told them to stop insulting people as racists, uneducated and ignorant merely because they have another opinion. I won’t get on their level and insult others, one of them actually wrote me a private message with insults. I never attacked anyone, I just explained some things from a factual perspective, because unlike them I actually researched the subject on my own while they blindly believe everything MSM tells them. Also they are not MY racism definitions, you can look it up on your own. You’re being unwilling to admit that you’re expressing just a personal preference, and you’re not realising that you’r attacking the supposed racism with racism of your own.
No, it’s not racist at all.You are the problem if you can’t watch a show without prejudice and pointing out…
„The way this CA was shown is what's problematic.“ You implied that there was CA, even though I showed you there wasn’t. I never stated that I found it cool how he acted, why are you making stuff up ? Also by your logic shouting, cursing and having tattoos is related somehow to a culture? This has nothing to do with it. If one race is permitted to do something, other races should have the same freedom. Who said their intend was to portray any culture? So you want to censor fashion and individual expression? Besides I never stated they portrayed Rastafarian, you are taking things out of context trying to prove something. The way he came off was wrong you say? It was uncomfortable to YOU that doesn’t mean he mocked a culture or was trying to be racist. Furthermore I never wrote that every rapper from America should be like Alex, I stated the first thing that came to my mind was that he looked like an American rapper NOT a thug. You are taking things out of context and trying to distort what I wrote. You have every right to express your opinion so have I. I just explained to you that if you think people should only get to talk, think and do certain things in a certain way sorely based off of how they look thats racism.

I merely explained to you why it's not racist, how was I twisting your words? The first thing you got wrong (one of many) is, that it was not CA in the first place, they adapted those things from another culture too. You are ignoring FACTS trying to prove your point. But how is embracing and learning other cultures wrong ? As humans we learn to share everything in common, we learn to embrace other cultures. If you have a pre-described notion of how someone based on their looks should act, think, say, do you are being racist! If you think people should only get to talk, think and do certain things in a certain way sorely based off of how they look thats racism. And NO, the first thing that came to my mind was that he looked like an american rapper not a thug. My problem is that you're stating, something is racist based on how YOU feel or think about it and not on facts. A world primed to think only about race will only think about race and I don't think this will solve REAL racism. I was not trying to insult you I merely tried to explain some things from a factual perspective.
Okey Penthouse without Logan was like an empty shell to me but Why the HECK did the writter introduce Alex Lee???…
No, it’s not racist at all. You are the problem if you can’t watch a show without prejudice and pointing out race. As history has shown, cultures evolve over time and influence one another. Stated another way, there is no such thing as cultural appropriation because there is no such thing as an original culture. The entirety of human history was based on cultures mashing together, trading beliefs, ideas, and more. You are actually insulting Black Americans as thugs.
Using a certain culture isn't the problem but how the writer uses that culture or how he or she depicts a race…
But they appropriated this style from another culture too, they didn’t invent that style. Just because you associate it with a negative view doesn’t mean everyone does, the show did not have a bad intend (as the actor stated himself). Not everyone has the same view as you, I saw just a style, he looks like every other rapper in America. By pointing out your negative view YOU are the one portraying African-Americans as thugs.
The level of ignorance in this comment section is appalling. Things like this rarely bother me, and as someone…
You bring race into the matter, and imply that blacks are unequal because to YOU Alex’s physical appearance opressess blacks. You are implying that blacks are a lesser race because blacks can be offended by how someone dresses in a non insulting context, implying blacks are more sensitive and weak. Now, nobody really cares about race anyway, right? Only racists. Nobody cares about race except you who imply that some races are unequal and weaker than others. You are being moral crusaders who have a narrative of how the world works and you're intolerant of any challenges to that narrative. The truth is, you should educate yourself more on the topic and stop calling people ignorant merely because they have different opinions.
Hey, with all due respect, You have no idea what you are talking about
Stereotypes and empirical generalizations are neither good nor bad, desirable nor undesirable, moral nor immoral. They just are. Stereotypes do not tell us how to behave or treat other people (or groups of people). Stereotypes are observations about the empirical world, not behavioral prescriptions. So your argument is invalid, it's not racism, only you are seeing it as racism, so the problem is in you.
Again, people talking who have no idea what they are talking about. It has way more the do than the hairstyle.…
I'm just wondering why you are coming back to this comment section spreading hate and insulting people. You are trying to censor any opposing opinion and creating echo chambers instead of discussing it. You only believe sources that reaffirm your opinions.
1) egyptians was black2) So black people can't be rastafarian ?3) Maintly culture use dreadlocks4) We did invent…
You are wrong on so many levels, it's clearly you people don't know anything about the subject, you are merely pushing your own narrative, which you picked up from MSM, but you never researched the subject let alone try to think for yourself.
For the people who are calling anyone with different opinions racist, uneducated and ignorant, here is some clarification. Although this hairstyle is commonly associated with black people and, particularly, with the Rastafarian culture, it most likely originated in India, although some would say Egypt. Rastafarianism is more a religion than a culture and the adoption of dreadlocks is probably connected to religious tradition. That doesn’t alter the fact that blacks appropriated this style from another culture. Some white people also wear their hair in dreadlocks. Apparently, this is a terrible thing, but why? Does it demean black people? Why do black people have more right than white people to wear dreadlocks? After all, they didn’t invent that style, they appropriated it. How can this be racist or oppressive? Why does it have to be weighed down with a negative connotation? Normal people tend to have a positive, optimistic outlook and believe that good things are always possible, but you internet activists have a negative outlook. So you will routinely bully other opinions into silence with appeals to emotion and personal attacks rather than well-formed or well-articulated arguments pertaining the issue. At this point you are just being bullies and hypocrites attacking everything that doesn't conform to your view of the world.
Hey, with all due respect, You have no idea what you are talking about
You chose to see it as offensive, what are you not getting? You are telling people in the comments that they are being racist, even tho they haven't wrote anything that can be considered racist.
Hey, with all due respect, You have no idea what you are talking about
You are ignoring the truth and abandoning fact and reason in favor of personal attacks, as long as your opinion comes out ahead. So basically, if we don’t agree with you, we’re racist. That is an extremely narcissistic, and selfish way of interpreting reality, and you should be ashamed.
Just because people don't share the same viewpoint as you does not mean they are racists. Stop insulting and spreading…
You are ignoring any argument or fact that could tell a different story, it's always the same respond over and over again i.e. everyone is racist. You are attacking everything that doesn't conform to your ideology. (Btw, under 2 posts, stop lying)
Just because people don't share the same viewpoint as you does not mean they are racists. Stop insulting and spreading…
Why are you so obsessed with calling everyone racist? You literally have no arguments, except telling everyone with a different viewpoint than your's that they are being racist and ignorant, all you are doing is spreading hate.
You are just assuming that he is trying to imitate the stereotype of black people, although nearly every other…
I never stated that racism does not occur, but you are searching in the wrong place. There is nothing racist about the character you are just fabricating something to serve your viewpoint of the world i.e. that everything is racist.
since mostof you’all want to play blind I will explain to those who really want to understand why it is racist,First…
You are just assuming that he is trying to imitate the stereotype of black people, although nearly every other western show does the same, this stereotype exists and they did not make it up just now and surely did not want to insult or harm anyone, there are a lot of stereotypes in the world, but you chose to see it as negative and not as it is. Our natural state is not racist. Our natural state is that people are people, and they come in all shapes, colors, and sizes. There are pale white people and tan white people. There are light-skinned black people and dark-skinned black people. The list goes on. To notice race and consider people of a different race to have alternative universal characteristics is racist. It’s also generalization. It’s like assuming all women do this, all white men do that, all Asian people enjoy this, or all tall people are like that. When we continue to harp on race over and over and over again, we drive home the idea that those people are somehow different than the rest of us. Worse, when we go to lengths to assume that people of one race would have a different experience than people of another race in the same situation is also presumptuously racist.
