while we're on this subject, jay-z said that if you weren't black, to call his song w/ kaney just paris.
the level of white entitlement in ontd when gwyneth paltrow tweeted 'n*****s in paris for real' when the dream and another black guy was on stage was ridiculous. like, their song is about the fact that they can be rich and posh but they'll still be seen as n******s by people and there'll still be white ppl saying 'it's just a word! you can't stop people from using a word and claim it as yours! what do we call it then?? why did he name it like that, it's his fault'.
it should be fucking obvious not to use the n word if you're not black and there were all those ppl whining about "it's the name of the song, what else am i supposed to call it" and jayz having to explicitly spell out what to call the song if you're not black is just embarrassing
newflash white ppl don't get to lay claim to everything including the n word
