I'm going to guess intent. If he grew up in an environment where nigga is tossed around casually by many it's not a big deal to say it, he's not trying to be hurtful but moreso endearing or general reference. It's like using cunt in Australia right @Miesha's Taint ?

it just doesn't look right when hes made videos saying he's got a DNA test and he's a certain percentage black so he can say it and then goes out and makes this.

doesn't matter either way, don't think the guy's racist, just stupid

Doubtless those new members are clamoring to join up any day now.

I view Perry like I do someone like Eminem. Been friends with black dudes all of his life, hangs with them daily, trains with them, doesn’t see skin color. The word is a term of endearment, like calling someone ya boy. I’ll go one step further...i bet a black dude is filming him in this video.

Well here is a black dude telling you he's a herb and it's unacceptable.

Lmao at Perry. Dudes a trip. He’s the farthest thing from racist (grew up in the hood) but in today’s radical left environment where everyone is offended about something, you can bet he’ll be labeled as one.

He may not be a racist but he is a dummy when it comes to choosing his words and I don't care that he grew up in the hood, being a white guy saying "nigga nigga etc" is just stupid. He's cheesy and he thinks it gives him cred with the thug crowd, racist, no, but lame, absolutely.

It's just a shitty look, at least to me. Fun fighter to watch, not douchey on Colby's level, but the guy is douchey as fuck and way too simpleton for my taste.

Eminem on his first few records had some wording like that, but if you listen to Eminem talk the last 10 years in interviews, he talks nothing like MIke Perry, matter of fact Eminem sounds like a scholor whem compared to how Mike Perry talks. Even if Emimenm had a brief period when he was 22 or whatever, when you listen to him talk last decade basically even he sees it dumb as fuck to be a white guy talking like that.

It's just not a good look.

Well look at the context and the thread I am responding too, trying to portray my point. It's subjective, but I think it's not a good look. I don't think Mike Perry is racist, or even close to it. I don't blame Mike Perry for having some racist guy in his corner, remember the first fight he had in the UFC, against Hyun Gun Lim, his corner said something racist as fuck. So I don't put what his corner says on mike Perry.

Perry is not a racist, but talking like that, it's just not a good look for a grown adult white guy. Surely you can agree on that

 

[SensoriaUtopia]

Also, if you listen to Mclemore and Logic, to current famous white rappers, talk in interviews. They do not talk at all like the way Mike Perry is, and we are talking guy in the industry. That "hey Im white but I will act and talk totally black and say black offensive words" ship has sailed a while ago.

Logic and Mclemore are able to rap and give interviews without having to resort to that. You can be non black and love hip hop and not have to talk that way and stoop to that level.

By the way, I'd probably even have a beer with Mike Perry, and I think he's an alright dude, I just think it's a low class and outdated way for him to talk. It's not a good look.

Well here is a black dude telling you he's a herb and it's unacceptable.

Good point. That's why I say I'm 50/50 on it and its best either left unsaid or kept
between that persons own circle of friends that are cool with it.

Some black people are cool with it in certain circumstances and some are not.

The problem arises when the person saying it doesn't acknowledge that just because
one of his black buddies is cool with it doesn't mean that some other black person
aint tryna hear that shit.

I grew up saying it and probably say it everyday but there are certain black people
I know don't even like to hear it from other black people so I give them that
respect and don't use it around them.

My dad for instance... You can't say that shit around him under any circumstance.

He simply aint havin' it.

People have to learn to respect that

Just my 2 cents

Pretty much my view on it, I'll use it but if someone isn't comfortable with it I drop it from my verbiage.

 

[Disciplined Galt]

555 think what you will mail order man.

 

[Dat Pre-HollyHolm Ronda $]

That "hey Im white but I will act and talk totally black and say black offensive words"

I understand what you are saying and I can see you had no ill intent. The thing you have to
understand is that there are things people aren't going to understand unless they have to step
out into the world in black skin everyday.

Those words you used "Acting Black" is extremely offensive to many black people.

He is acting "Ghetto"... not "Black".

When you say that you infer that all black people are stupid and uneducated
and that is what we hear.

It cuts like a knife when hearing it but I understand where you are coming from
and that there wasn't any bad intent behind it.

Its a touchy subject that unless you are a person of color is very hard to understand

Really great post, no sarcasm, honestly you articulate what I am saying better than I did on this.

I agree with you. I think you know what I am saying, but your perspective is an intelligent one. I myself feel an interesting perspective. I am not known as white or black, my parents of from Iran. More than that, my Mom is from the north part, my Mom and her side of the family look white, and like they would be German or Italian or some kind of European background. My father on the contrast is from Shiraz, where the ancient Persian capital of Persepolis was, complete different climate from the north and the people there are significantly darker. My Dad in particular is in skin tone and features get's mistaken as black by some people. I came out with features from both but much more tanned in tone like my Dad, thought not as much as him. Right or wrong I always felt a unique perspective on the entire talk.

I also love to listen when feel someone is on to something, I think you are.

 

[Disciplined Galt]

Thread makes me remember a Vutu story, the aborigines said he wasn't black, but purple.

 

[delightone]

He should've used a different word, like bitchez, pussy's, motherfuckers, this was just unnecessary.

Thanks for the kind words my man. You have a very interesting back ground with some deep
awesome history. I could derail this whole thread by turning it into a discussion on Ancient Persian
astronomy and mathematics but I won't. LOL

As for myself I don't think I have any special perspective outside any person of color
that grew up in a similar situation as myself.

If I do have any sharper perspective its that I have a good ability to really
"Listen" and put myself in someones else's shoes and try to see what they see without
being offended even if I personally think its wrong.

Most people can't talk about race, religion or politics without losing their shit

I'm actually proud of this board as it seems we had a discussion without anyone
going too far overboard and resorting to cursing and name calling at each other. Thats
a win in itself.

Anyway taking a trip to see the ancient ruins of the Gate of Persepolis
AKA Gate of Xerxes is one of the things on the top of my "Cool shit to do list"

All that would do is shift the minority group who is offended to another title. I mean look at his demeanor . You think he's out to offend or just taking the piss? People looking to give the word more power than it deserves imo .

"Taking the piss". I think I legit just learned a new phrase to add to my vocabulary
Could you please use it in another sentence so I can make sure to have the meaning
and context correct?

Not even joking.

I actually was able to go to Iran about 12 years ago. Went with my Mom, for 2 months. I was in between jobs and timing was right. I went to 3 or 4 cities and saw relatives in each. My father's side came from Shiraz which is where Persepolis sits, and I visited the actual place and not only was I enjoying the amazing work done in these ancient times and the detail, looks like it was carved with lasers in stone, I also felt a tangible different powerful kind of energy that was different and special. It seems like I was somehow tapping into some kind of deep instinct and feeling of just somehow knowing the magic of the place. Even with most of it tore down and crumbled, with what is there, it's so easy to imagine what it looks like all filled up and in tact like in those times.

If you ever see it in person, you will see what I am talking about. Something special was going on, that shit was so perfectly put together.

They have these amazing mountain restuarants, that serve mouth watering Persian food, all kinds of Kabobs and many many other foods.
