My kids explained to me that there’s this unspoken thing where white people singing rap songs are supposed to sing a censored version, just not saying certain words, like a radio version. Apparently young people are somehow just supposed to know this. It’s all silly to me, but some of these kids take these made up rules too seriously, especially when there is absolutely no racist intent anywhere in the situation.

This gal is from Missouri. The dispute may be more about a Missouri kid moving to Los Angeles than anything else. West Coast smug is real. Rabalais probably can’t explain it because he doesn’t understand it either.

Obviously UCLA was not a good fit. Welcome aboard and everyone gets a reset and a fresh start.

Funny how those " unspoken things " only run one way.

From the LA Times article on the situation it appears these four women to harassed this poor girl have now hijacked the gymnastics program and the no one wants to be on the team now as tensions are high on the team and with the Coaching staff. Its sad because what will happen is that Coaches will be much more reluctant to recruit African American women to their program for fear of what these four have done to the program.

How about not listening to crappy "music" in the first place?

As someone from the Deep South but no longer live there, only in that area is not saying the N-word an “unspoken rule”, everyone else knows not to say that word. Whether in conversation or a song. What year do y’all think it is?

That's because it has nothing to do with racism and everything to do with wielding power. Something you would know if you would pull your head out of your arse. They were taught this vile Behavior by your party and you are one of the chief purveyors of the behavior

This sort of thing is a good reason for white people to never listen to rap music. If you don't listen to it, you won't sing it. If you don't sing it, you won't sing it "offensively".
