How Gwyneth Paltrow should’ve handled the controversy surrounding her tweeting the “N-word” during Kanye and Jay-Z’s concert this weekend.

While I think you repeat yourself a bit much, I think you are spot on. Good on you.
Sorry, disagree. When black folks put variations in songs, and you're right DARE white people to say the lyrics or song titles, and THEN expect them to pussyfoot around and bow their heads in shame, something is wrong. At some point (like yesterday) someone like Paltrow, who really doesn't give a rats ass what you or I think, is gonna say or tweet it and think it's a lark! And it is, because we'bve made it FUN!! We have NO business acting all outraged when whites say "nuh" mimicing US. Well, so long as one of us isn't swinging from a tree when they do it. I'm much more worried about it when a cop or some other entitled-to-commit-violence man with a gun says it. Someone gave me a great term for this the other day "venus flytrap." We need to stop and think: there are other ways to separate people from their money than denigrating our own.
It's the name of the fucking song. Meanwhile, there are millons of racists doing racist shit and nobody says shit. 2 million in prison. 50% unemployment rates. But some dippy white celebrity mentions the name of a fucking song and she's supposed to apologize?
Right after Obama apologizes for Rahm Emanuel and Jean Quan apologizes for SHOOTING PEOPLE IN THE STREETS OF OAKLAND.
But anyway, liberalism is done. Stupid ass shit and an allergy to dealing with reality.
What the F**K are you talking about?!! First off yeah black people do have bigger fish to fry but it's JAY'S blog say he can spaek on whatever issue he wants. If you don't like it then start your own.
I don't think Gwyneth should apologize AT ALL, because she never used the word 'nigger, or nigga' her actual tweet was 'n***gers'(or some variation) so she actually censored herself and abstained from using the n-word in the first place , yes everyone knows what she meant…THE TITLE OF THE SONG BEING PERFORMED !
Regardless like Jay said if she meant no harm then why fight about it?! Say sorry and move on doesn't matter HOW she said it the fact that she said it all is the problem
What's that track playing at the end?
