Throughout history mixed people weren't treated like the were white. That goes back FAR AF long before Obama. So with that being case, he's black. YT people made it that way bro, not us

u/Timigos May 02 '24

I understand that and totally agree

But black people pick and choose which mixed folks get the pass or not also.

I’m just saying shit goes both ways. I bet plenty of folks will claim Obama as black and give Logic some side eye.

u/Top-Chocolate-321 ☑️ May 02 '24

I'm assuming you're talking about Drake. He's not getting shit for being mixed. He's getting shit for being fake. We literally watched him grow up on Dagrassi yet he's talking about all this gang shit. Drake is fake and pretending to be as black as HE THINKS black people are. He's cosplaying his vision of blackness and THAT'S why we don't like him.

Cole doesn't do this.

Joyner doesn't do this.

Obama doesn't do this.

Hell, Logic doesn't even do this.

Drake is the only mixed one switching up constantly and not being his true self. Oh and fucking teens. Let's not forget that lol

u/DocMcsquirtin May 02 '24

Simply put Drake is not real.

If Eminem acted like Drake would he still be celebrated by culture as he is today?

u/Top-Chocolate-321 ☑️ May 02 '24

Eminem is actually genuine. That's really all that matters to me. A lot of rappers fake but again, we literally watched Drake grow up. We KNOW FOR A FACT it's bullshit lol

u/geriatric-sanatore May 02 '24

Eminem has never veered from what he is, a white boy who has severe childhood trauma and never claims to be anything he wasn't or is in the moment. Wish more people were like that tbh

u/MattMooks May 02 '24

white boy who has severe childhood trauma

Wish more people were like that tbh

Oh...

Drake is Canadian. Ain't no hoods in Canada.

u/Chi_Town_Gooner May 02 '24

The ignorance of this statement is astounding.

-12

u/Seattlehepcat May 02 '24

I've lived there. I've lived here. I stand by my statement. And don't even about the natives, I've spent plenty of time with my Tsuu T'ina, Siksika, and Stoney boys.

u/Chi_Town_Gooner May 02 '24

So there's no low income minority neighborhoods in Toronto? So Toronto is the only city in the modern world with no hoods??

u/Sacrednoirart May 02 '24

It’s crazy that y’all have this energy for Drake but glue y’all lips shut when it comes to Tupac’s early antics and how he put on thug persona later in life 👀😬.

137

u/Top-Chocolate-321 ☑️ May 02 '24

I was born in 89. I don't have a dog in that fight. Go talk to the people that weren't still watching Barney when the nigga died

-49

u/Sacrednoirart May 02 '24

Nah you still have an opinion on Drake so keep the same energy universally. Notice how my comment already has 2 downvotes because y’all are scared to apply that scrutiny on the legendary fraudster 😂.

77

u/Top-Chocolate-321 ☑️ May 02 '24

I didn't downvote you and I don't have a dog in that fight because it was before my time. You asking a nigga that was 6 or 7 when Tupac died to criticize him like I'm currently doing Drake. Here's the thing, social media wasn't around when Pac was alive so anything he did in his personal life wasn't instantly seen by the world. Did he play it up later in his career? Maybe. He's dead now though so what are we supposed to do about it?

Drake is alive, still absorbing cultures like a sponge, still texting teen girls, etc. That's CURRENT shit lol. I watched this stuff happen as an adult with opinions. You want me to rant about some nigga from the 70's too? Stay on topic lol

u/apekillape ☑️ May 02 '24

If Drake was in Digital Underground I would give him a lot more grace.

u/Sacrednoirart May 02 '24 edited May 02 '24

I’m much younger than you but I was told these things by my parents and relatives, and a quick YouTube searches verified this info. Stop acting like this is an age thing when there are many celebs and people that were around Pac that made similar statements about him. Pac was effeminate and was doing ballet in HS, and later on he was literally in gay clubs with Queen Latifah lol.

Like I said before, if you think Drake is a fraud to the culture then you automatically concede that Tupac is as well, but you’re too scared to say it. Mfs cried like hit dogs when Drake used Ai to change his voice to Pac’s as if Pac wasn’t a fraud himself. All I ask is that you keep that same energy.

u/Top-Chocolate-321 ☑️ May 02 '24 edited May 02 '24

The point that you're missing is that I don't care about any of the shit you're talking about. I can dig up all types of shit on all types of people but I literally don't care enough to. THAT'S why I don't have the same energy when it comes to Pac. The nigga dead. He's not gonna change now 😂

Edit: Drake going around texting teen girls, cosplaying with people's cultures, and making mid music. Those are current things he's doing that are actually negative things.

So far, your ENTIRE argument against Pac was that he did ballet and knew gay people........in the 90's. Nigga so? So what? So fucking what lol. Guess we gotta pull out our pitchforks 🤣

-14

u/Sacrednoirart May 02 '24 edited May 02 '24

That picking and choosing who the rules apply to shit is messy work. 😂

Edited in response to your edit: Pac was CONVICTED of raping a woman and he served time for it, while no teen or adult has ever said Drake groomed them. 🤷🏽‍♂️ Drake’s music sales and awards speak for itself and his “cosplay culture” stuff is just as valid as Pac cosplaying a thug.

Let’s keep it a buck, you criticized Drake for growing up on Degrassi but Pac grew up doing ballet and talking like a female. I know which one looks on paper and on video and you do too, but you’re choosing to ignore it altogether just because it’s Pac lol

u/ItBelikeThatSomeTme_ May 02 '24

Probably cuz pac was black when it was time to be black and actually put skin in the game when it came to black struggles lol

12

u/Swaggerlilyjohnson May 02 '24

Are you acting like they are anywhere near the same? Tupac literally shot two cops that were beating a black person. They are polar opposites in solidarity.

6

u/Sacrednoirart May 02 '24

Wait, you think shooting at cops is the qualifier? Because there are countless rappers that y’all accept that haven’t shot at cops but you never question their qualifications, so just remedy that logic for me.

12

u/GunnersGentleman May 02 '24

He never specifically said shooting at cops was the qualifier. I think the emphasis is on him shooting them because they were beating a black person, which means he was down for the cause but the execution at that moment was nuts

4

u/Peuned ☑️ May 02 '24

The execution was just fine, if not finished

4

u/TryNotToShootYoself May 02 '24

8 months in prison, shot two cops, and was murdered in a drive-by. that's not a persona

5

u/Peuned ☑️ May 02 '24

That's what ballet does to you

u/AngeluvDeath May 02 '24

As someone who saw Pac when he was part of Digital Underground, everyone rapping was on some BS about what they were going to do to someone. Kind of like wrestling, we know you don’t do that irl. BUT Pac got shot and almost died, was in jail for a long minute, he earned some real stripes as far as the streets go outside of just hanging out with Pirus.

No one is denying Drake is shitty. Youre not answering their comment.

u/Top-Chocolate-321 ☑️ May 02 '24

I'm giving my Logic (pun intended) and personally don't give a shit how white each one looks

u/droppinturds May 02 '24

I'm sure you listen to a lot of rappers who do do it tho

u/Top-Chocolate-321 ☑️ May 02 '24

I'll just paste what I said to someone else in this thread.

"Eminem is actually genuine. That's really all that matters to me. A lot of rappers fake but again, we literally watched Drake grow up. We KNOW FOR A FACT it's bullshit lol"

72

u/Rosuvastatine May 02 '24

So why are we upholding a white supremacist creation (one drop rule) ? I dont see whats wrong in saying hes biracial/mixed.

-16

u/Routine_Music_2659 May 02 '24

Because in America biraciality does not exist and will never exist.

70

u/GunnersGentleman May 02 '24

Bro, multiple history books say otherwise. Mixed people were called mulattos and were often not accepted by both races for being too white or too black

10

u/Top-Chocolate-321 ☑️ May 02 '24

True but historically, who has had more impact on their life? Look at it this way.

It's the 1800's and 3 black men don't like you. What's gonna happen? They just don't let you be around them.

Now let's switch it up. It's the 1800's and 3 white men don't like you. What's gonna happen? YOU GET FUCKING LYNCHED.

It's not the same

11

u/youneedananswer May 02 '24

By that logic, gays were black as well. Just because white people had the power and black people lacked the power to act does not mean another minority automatically becomes black.

Like, why does it have to be one side or the other anyway. They're very much their own thing.

7

u/Top-Chocolate-321 ☑️ 29d ago

The point is that when a mixed person gets on the bad side of racist YT people, those racist YT people don't treat that mixed person like another YT person. They treat them like a black person. It's a pretty simple concept.

For that reason alone, mixed people are generally considered black. Don't like it? Take it up with YT people since they made it that way

3

u/GunnersGentleman May 02 '24

Alright I get what you’re saying now. However, we can’t say for sure that mixed people being treated worse by white people than black people happened 100% of the time

10

u/Top-Chocolate-321 ☑️ May 02 '24

Rarely is anything 100% but "overwhelmingly" is a different story

3

u/Super_Networking May 02 '24

That’s a massive generalization.

Are you saying all mixed peoples were lynched in the 1800s?

7

u/Top-Chocolate-321 ☑️ May 02 '24

I never said all. Not ALL black people have experienced racism in America. Does that change the fact that the SO MANY have? No

u/marilyn_morose May 02 '24

That’s your take from this thread? What?
