Why is it okay to call out African American musicians, but not white ones?

I was searching around a while ago for articles about misogyny and racism in music. I found a few of them and noticed a pattern. If you google "Misogyny in music" you will find a lot of links to rap and hip hop music.

Misogyny Set To Music calls out R Kelly.

Here's the Top 10 Misogynistic Rap Songs That Women Love, which calls out Lil Jon, Snoop, Yin Yang Twinz.

Chris Brown, Tyler the Creator and mostly other African American musicians are always, always getting called out.

Then, google "mindless self indulgence misogyny" and "mindless self indulgence racism" and what will you find? Nothing more than a bunch of white people defending the sexism and racism by saying it's "clearly ironic," "tongue in cheek," "Jimmy Urine says he's not a racist so obviously he's not" and "how can they be sexist with women in the band?" And my favorite, "MSI is reclaiming those social slurs."

So my question is, why is it acceptable for these white people to "reclaim slurs" and use slurs "in irony" but when an African American musician does it, there is a huge outcry?

I also notice that the people who post here are the only ones really calling out privileged white men like Frank Iero and Gerard Way on saying horribly racist and misogynistic things on Twitter. If an African American spoke like that on Twitter, what would the reaction be?

If SS was really Frank, he was probably just coming around to fuck with the person pretending to be Gerard. I think he might get off on playing mind games with people. It's pretty clear that Frank Iero is not a nice person.

I think it's pretty rich of Gerard to call fanfiction 'vile' when he has a notorious fic writer in his inner circle of friends. The fact that in that interview Mikey goes on explaining what fanfiction is about shows they've probably heard far more than they should have about it.

And that creepy stalker picture of the Ways in a supermarket did annoy me (let's face it, he's been no Pete Wentz about his progeny) but what weirded me out the most was how pale and sickly their child looks.

Against my better judgment, I went to Mayo's to see what the fuss was. It looks like the "regs" are flooding it, in an effort to get Mayo to post more often to give them room to talk.

WOW.

Yeah, I think the logic is that if they fill up all the comments, Mayo will be more likely to hang around the blog more.

Okay at first that made no sense to me. I thought the person spamming Mayo's was probably trying to shut it down. But after thinking about it, that makes no sense because doesn't Mayo usually only show up after the comments have been closed by spammers?

The regs probably think they can force him/her (Gerard in their minds) to hang around and monitor the comments, therefore paying them more attention and maybe conversing with them again. It's really the only thing that makes sense.

SHE MARY SUE'D HER WAY INTO THE FIC!

Willow shoved the last of the French fries into her mouth then suddenly realized she was no longer alone in the car. Glancing over at the passenger seat it was apparent the woman was frantic. Willow sighed knowing that the dead can throw a normal uneventful evening into turmoil. While the woman spoke no words Willow could sense through images what she was telling her. Knowing what the dead wanted was second nature to her. This woman wanted her to turn on the next road. Someone was in trouble.
Willow saw the turn up ahead and tried to slow the car as much as possible, hoping that the driver behind her was paying attention. As soon as the turn was completed her eyes scanned both sides of the two-lane road. Damn this would be so much easier if she knew exactly where the person was and what she needed to do to help them. But the dead, while they could relay messages to her, couldn’t come right out and speak nor could the give exact details. Willow accepted this as a “dead rule”. She sighed again thinking that being a psychic was such a pain at times.
Driving slowly Willow realized she knew this area. It led to a back entrance for the Sand Amphitheater. There had been a concert hours earlier she had really wanted to attend but her glamorous job at McDonalds has prevented that. Yes, My Chemical Romance had performed without her. Now as she drove closer to the amphitheater the woman next to her was getting more agitated. The images she was projecting to Willow were coming in a flurry.
Suddenly out of the corner of her eye she saw something and pulled the car off on the shoulder. A few yards away, just off the road, was a man who appeared to be staggering. He was dangerously close to the edge of an embankment that led into a very deep ravine. Willow turned off the engine and jumped out of the car.
“Hello?” she yelled hoping to get his attention and lure him away from the edge. He didn’t seem to hear her. She quickly closed the distance between them but pulled up short. Fear filled her as she realized he was standing on a narrow cement ledge. If he fell he would plummet into the ravine. Her heart began to beat faster as she realized the true danger he was facing.

Anonymous said...

“Please stop,” she cried out. He wasn’t facing her but even in the dim light afforded by the streetlight she could see he was looking down. Hopefully her words would make him step off the wall but seemed frozen in place. She slowly edged closer.
“Let me help you.” She kept her tone smooth and unthreatening. He glanced over at her then swayed. Willow knew she had to act quickly. Without thought for her own safety she ran and grabbed him around the waist. He started to fall foreword putting them both in danger. With all her strength she jerked them back but in the process her shoulder hit the cement wall and she felt an explosion of pain. Her actions worked but as his body fell back he slammed into her knocking them both to the hard ground.
Willow lay there a moment stunned, the breath knocked from her chest. The man moaned and rolled off her. He began retching and she realized he was going to be sick. Painfully she pulled herself up and gently put her hand on his shoulder while he vomited. When the retching stopped she rolled him over and tried to decide how to get him up off the ground and to her car. She couldn’t leave him here but what she was going to do with him was a problem she would have to face soon.
“I’m going to help you to my car, okay?” He seemed to understand and tried to push himself up. After several attempts she helped him to his feet. Almost immediately his weight fell on her and she stumbled but managed to stay standing. Slowly they made their way back towards the road. When they reached the car Willow threw open the passenger door and helped him slide in. The dome light illuminated the inside of the car and she got her first good look at his face.
“Mikey Way what the hell we’re you doing out here?” she asked in a stunned voice.
His eyes fluttered open, he seemed to recognize his name. “Please make them stop,” he whispered.
She was brushing twigs from his hair but stopped at his words. He was drunk that much she knew by the smell. What else he had put in his body she wasn’t sure. But his tone was so frightened she felt a chill pass over her. “Who Mikey? Make who stop?”
He leaned his head back and closed his eyes “The ghosts, the damn ghosts.”


AUTHORS NOTE: Hello everyone. First off let me say thank you all so much again for the reviews left for "We Like Movies". I'm glad that so many were happy with the ending. You know I had that ending in my head for so long. I knew it just had to tie in with the first chapter. Anyway, here is a story I've had in my head for over a year. I would work on it a bit then leave it alone for months but now I want to tell this story. I hope you all enjoy it. It's different from my other story but still not just an average romance. LOL. Please give it a chance. Love ya all. Elena XOXO




ARE YOU KIDDING ME?

Anonymous said...

Frank noticed Willow looking down at her plate. “He’s right. We should get that done tonight.” He believed he understood Gerard’s reluctance to leave early had to do with Willow.
Willow tried very hard to block out the thoughts around her but it wasn’t easy. She took another bite of her steak pretending it didn’t matter but it did. She wanted her last night with Gerard.



So basically Elena... a 50 something married woman with three daughters out on their own... writes real person fanfiction about herself getting with Gerard Way.

Holy... I have no words.

Anonymous said...

“Yeah, I know what you want.” She said with a throaty laugh. She took his hand and led him over to the sofa. Pushing him down she quickly straddled his lap.. Gerard watched with growing desire as she pulled her tee shirt over her had revealing perfect, bare breasts. She leaned forward towards his open mouth. Gerard took her right nipple into his mouth and began sucking in earnest.


It only gets worse from there...

I CAN'T. I JUST CAN'T.

"Like this" she looked into his eyes as she lowered herself onto his rock hard erection. "This is what I want inside me"
She began to raise and lower herself on him.
"That's it sugar, ride me" he crushed his mouth to hers and uttered the raw language she loved 'Fuck me baby."
The water that surrounded them had cooled but their passion burned. Soon the fire was out of control. They climaxed together and she fell to this chest, his arms encircled her. "I love you, Monica," he whispered.
"I love you, Gee," she answered still trying to catch her breath.

Y'all, talk about whatever you like, but I am starting to get queasy, reading that. RPF squicks the hell out of me to begin with, Mary Sues should be burned, and bad writing alone is enough to make my eyes water. JS.

What I really came here to say was something AWESOME. So okay, I crowed a bit before about my little film clip making it into the big screen at JGL's gala two nights ago, right? Well I wrote up this thing saying "Hey, how about a little love for NY? Maybe a Halloween masquerade sort of thing!"

AND HE'S GOING TO DO IT!

So that's what's going on on Halloween, folks! A HitRECord masquerade party, hosted by Joe. WOOOOO!

So I did! It is pretty sexciting. But, it's not about celebrity; I doubt I'll get to meet him, since it's more of a show. But I get to meet a lot of the folks I've "met" on that website. We've worked together, and creating so many fun things together, it's going to be awesome to see them face to face, in the same room.

ALSO, one of my best internet pals, whom I've "known" for about 11 years, might be able to come to NY for this event. I would actually get to spend a few days with her, which, if that would actually happen, would mean peeing in my pants for about a week. :D

I'm extremely happy. ^_^

I gotta disagree about T-Hard, I don't think he's doing himself any good being that bulked up, and I don't think it suits him either, as much as when he's just in normal shape. I think he looks good a little smaller.

And really, it's his nose that I find myself looking at a lot. It's elegant.

I don't think any man looks good too pumped up. Normal is good.

Both JGL and Tom Hardy have amazing talent, and they both seem pretty genuine to me.

I agree that Tom Hardy is not as attractive when he's mega bulked up for a role like Bane. I like him when he's thinner. But yeah, his nose and lips and eyes are amazing.

BTW, anybody seen 50/50 yet? I was surprised by how good it was. Seth Rogen usually bugs the hell out of me, but he didn't so much in this one. JGL was brilliant, IMO.

TH was absolutely gorgeous in The Take. His character was a piece of shit, but he was sooo good looking.

I think he looked his best in The Virgin Queen though. And has anybody seen him in Scenes of a Sexual Nature? He played such a loser, but he was adorable!

kapunua said...

I haven't seen The Take. LOVED Scenes of a Sexual Nature. Ewan McGregor was in that one, too. That entire movie was sweet, sad, and adorable.

I saw 50/50 about 2 weeks ago and it was heartbreaking. Everyone was great, but Angelica Houston stole the movie. She was incredible. I actually did laugh and cry during different parts of that film. :)

Umm the first one doesn't seem to show an announcement date and the second one shows only a few days ago. What are you talking about anon?

Anonymous said...

I haven't seen The Take.

Honestly, I almost wish I hadn't. Tom's character was such a sleazeball, and it was impossible not to hate him. Which is weird for me, because usually I can relate to his characters in some way. I felt some degree of sympathy even for Bronson, and I wanted to give poor little Shinzon some chicken soup and send him off to bed.

Freddie had no redeeming qualities, nor was he pitiable. You have to admire Tom's acting ability though.

kapunua said...

So I've heard; he was just awful, right? And wasn't Charlotte in that too?

Anonymous said...

She was, and his character was absolutely brutal towards hers. I won't spoil it for you, but at one point it was so awful I had to watch it through my hands. It rivals some of the stuff in Mysterious Skin.

I wonder if maybe their romance came out of that, because I can imagine him being so very sweet to her in between those scenes. IRL, he seems like such a teddy bear. :)

What's with the anons trying to figure out the date when the JGL thing was posted? Is it some way to rain on the parade that I'm not understanding or something? Is Kapunua just.... for some reason not allowed to have a fangirl moment over an actor she likes coming to her town?

There are certain factions who would love to rain on Kapunua all of the time. I don't understand it. I think it borders on (or maybe even crosses the line into pathological.

Excuse me, but do any of you see how Elena is getting "rained on" for taking her part in being a fan? How is that any different? Why is Kapunua allowed but Elena gets crucified?

Back that cart right the hell up. There is a world of difference between being psyched over a famous person, and writing porn about them. There are lines. I don't cross them. I don't even straddle them.

Squeeing over someone, or a movie or whatever might annoy you, but it doesn't harm anyone. RPF is full-on reprehensible, yo. And RPF porn? Yeah, I have no words.

So please don't even try to compare the two things.

kapunua said...

12:46, that makes me wonder if I actually want to see it! O_O I think they were together at that time, though. They hooked up during Wuthering Heights. ^_^

Elena's pr0n deserves to be rained all over. Did you actually read any of that shit? Not only was the subject matter reprehensible, but it was SO DAMN BAD.

kapunua said...

What I couldn't help reading as it was posted here, but I tried very hard not to. It's not that I care what happens to MCR (let them have all the humiliation done to them, seriously,) but just RPF in general squicks me.

Are you actually saying that it is a normal part of "being a fan" of MCR to write pornography about bonking Gerard?

If so, I'm glad as hell I'm out of that fandom. I mean, the guy is married, for fuck's sake. He has a kid. And he's probably somewhere between 13-15 years younger than Elena. And then you have the fact that he has made it clear that RPF squicks him.

But regardless, RPF porn is just plain disgusting. It should squick everyone!

Why is Elena's fanfiction such a problem for some of you but Kapunua's real life lies are all ok? That's what I don't get. JGL planned that Halloween masquerade just because she asked him to. Bitch puh leaze.

Writing fanfiction is one thing. No matter how horrible. The writers still know and admit that it's fiction.

Why do you people let Kapunua get away with her extreme exaggerations and lies? Why don't you call her out like you call GW out on his lies about the formation of MCR? Is it because she is one of your own?

Wow. How is it that I have a copy of hitRECord's Tiny Stories with Kapunua's story in it, seeing as how she lies about those things? Or how is it that her vids are up all over the website? I suppose she hacked JGL and faked his comments to her too?

Yeah. Puh-leeze, indeed.

kapunua said...

Dumbass, I never said he did it for me; hundreds of NY folks were clamoring for him to bring the HR show to NY. It was cool that he announced it a few hours after I posted the thing at HR, and it was amusing how I said "let's have a masquerade Halloween party/show" and that's exactly what it turned out to be.

Umm, he does know of me, however, which I think is cool. He's commented on a handful of my short films and poetry, even asking me at one point to expound further on a poem I wrote, and featuring my short film on HitRECord and his personal Tumblr. :D He also put a teeny tiny clip of mine in his LA Fall Formal, which was introduced by him and Neil Patrick Harris.

You don't have to think that's cool, anon, but I was over the moon. :)

At least she had REAL contact from him, not some make believe sex from a hump back two-bit singer, made up in someone's fucked up mind.

Ugh, just no. No "relations" or any chance of them. I'm not even going to meet the dude, and I'll bet even if I did, it would be a laugh over something and then moving on. He is a cutie, but let's keep it real here. ^_^ (As in, I am not! Ha. :D )

Exactly! however some people on here like to take digs at people whilst they're waiting for the actual band to screw up so they can have something to talk about. These are negative people and they need something to take the piss out so they can feel like the accomplished something for the day.

We don't actually have to wait. They are in a constant state of screw-up, just by being their privileged, abusive, ignorant selves.

Really? 'cause the last few VV posts have been extremly lame not to mention lacking. If the band is in a constant state of screw up shouldn't we have had more new and frequent updates? Yes, I think we would have.

Kapunua, what's wrong with being privileged?

kapunua said...

There's nothing wrong with being privileged, as long as you acknowledge it and try to use it to help people, as opposed to flaunting it, and using your place to degrade others. Which is precisely what MCR and MSI do constantly.

kapunua said...

This is a pretty good link.

You Aren’t Bad for Having Privilege
You don’t have any control over the privilege you were given, and we get that. It’s important for you to get that, and get that we aren’t saying that, and then realize what that means when combined with your privilege to pretend that you aren’t privileged. Confused? Simply put: you aren’t bad for having privilege, but not being able to give up your privilege is not a ‘get out of jail free’ card for bad behaviour.

kapunua said...

Aww, thank you, guys. I find it very hard to look at myself and it takes a lot of gearing up to go to something as public as a show like this. It's hard to tell on grainy film, but my nose is crooked and my jaw is crooked and put it all together and it's kind of a mishmash, hehe. ^_^;;

Anonymous said...

LOL

It is not considered acceptable social behavior to be so welcoming to one who mocks, ridicules and laughs at another person. Especially for an adult to be so welcoming to that type of person. Even if the person being mocked, ridiculed and otherwise made to feel less than is someone you hate. That is a social no no.

Anonymous said...

Grown ups should not coddle nor should they encourage bullish behavior.

If more adults behaved like responsible mature people, bullying in our schools would never have escalated to epidemic proportions.

Erika Dawn, you should not be welcomed. You should be given a time out in the corner with a dunce cap on your head. Where you can sit and think about the error or your ways and see how much you like being pointed and laughed at.

What Erika Dawn really needs is the same thing the welcomers should have received in their early, formative years. A good, old fashioned ass spanking to teach them something about respecting other people, their property, their opinions and their dreams.

What "property" did she disrespect? Was it the same "property" that Elena disrespected?

And apparently you can't respect the reality that Elena sucks as a writer and so of course she's going to get herass called out on it.

How can you say Elena is disrespecting Gerard when she writes stories about him as though her were a god. She obviously worships and adores him. Where's the disrespect in that?
