Black people stop embarrassing me.
The faux outrage is ridiculous.
I can't be the only black person annoyed at this holier than thou meme.
But anyway....no one is outraged. Just calling her out.

So what, only black people can tweet about that song?
White bitch tries to be cool and fails. I see nothing to really to be offended about here. The only response should be 'lolwhitepeople.gif' and move on to something actually relevant.
If you follow MIMIC's logic, yes.
Easier said than done, a lot of people for example can make self deprecating humor at their and people who look like they do's expense and it be exceptable. While the N word is on another level, it's not like people have a monthly black council meeting to discuss these kinda things.

white "outrage" on not being allowed to say the n-word is hilarious. There are plenty of words I can't say and I don't give a shit. They say "bitch" a lot in rap music too, doesn't mean I go around calling females that. Maybe I should cry about reverse-sexism for not being able to indiscriminately say the b-curse. Oh poor me I am a man who's rights have been trampled, its so hard being a man in this PC society WAAAAAAAAH /cries.
Perhaps this shows that we are at the cusp of some racial harmony. As a society we have gone from being offended by slavery, to separate but equal, to lynching, to police breaking out fire hoses on blacks in the 50's and 60's to the point where the only thing people really get upset about is when white people use a word that is used almost exclusively by the black community.
I won't even make the argument that white people should use the word, but unless they are using it in a blatantly derogatory fashion, it's not worth giving the race-baiters fodder to debate over.
Wait Gwyneth Paltrow is friends with Jay-Z and The Dream? Huh..
what in the fuck
people are generally offput because getting mad over this devalues legitimate discussion over actual racial matters.
its jesse jacksoning - not some confirmation that racism is over lol
phoenixdark with the ether, once again.

*slow clap*I honestly wish white people would just take the n word back wholesale on a large scale. Just do it, I'm tired of faux outrage stories like this generate, and the best way to get rid of them is for all white people to just say the word casually, maybe come up with their own exclusive definition based on a new pronunciation.
Have you ever been to a rap concert? Are white people racist there for repeating the lyrics back to the rapper? I've seen this before and no black person on stage or in the audience had a problem with it. It's called context. The context of Paltrow's tweet was that she was at the WTT concert in Paris during the fucking encore when Kanye/Jay-Z played the song "Niggas In Paris" about ten times in a fucking row. She is not referring to herself or others as niggas who happen to be in Paris - she is reflecting on the fact that Niggas In Paris is being played in Paris. How is that an issue worth outrage, or a 7 page thread on a message board?
Why don't you niggas get outraged over black on black crime, or literacy rates, or single mother rates, or any number of non music/bullshit related, important issues impacting our community. This is some Jesse Jackson level bullshit. Stop chasing ambulances out of the community and start doing constructive stuff. God damn.

Nah, good stuff came from that tholol this has to be the most pointless news story since bieber slapped a camera man last week
It's too bad you can't appreciate the irony in your post as much as I do.

Who are you directing this at, exactly?
why is this still a thing?

I can get with this more than I can get with this "you niggas" and "you people" shit PD was throwing around...smh.I'm not sure if you were being coy or not, but I'm actually starting to agree with this position. Like I said, let it just be anything goes. Have your WET, White Spirit Awards, White Beauty Pageants, Historically White College and University, and all of that shit as well. I'll take true marginalization over pretending to give a fuck about each other, any day of the week.
Is there an outrage? Are you outraged? What constitutes an outrage, angry twitters?
It seems that there are people that don't like rap or who may have never heard "niggas in paris", and certainly there are people who don't know her relationship to fucking Jay-Z and Kanye West. It's possible that some of these people read her tweet as "Woah, there's a buncha niggas in France"...going to have to ask white people if this message would be worthy of anger though, if I read the tweet that way I might be but it's possible that I would just be "upset for upsets sake".
This is horse shit. Black people have just as much a right to invest their feelings in bullshit celebrity culture as everyone else. I see this thought a lot and it's very frustrating for a number of reasons. The most basic reply would be to say that people can do more than one thing at a time, people fucking around with twitter garbage doesn't mean that they don't care about serious issues.
Also, since we live on a terrible planet, you could say this shit about anything. "Why are Black Americans worried about Don Imus when their illiteracy rates are higher than average"? "Why are Black Americans worried about illiteracy rates when there are people in Africa starving"? "Why are Africans complaining about starvation when the entire planets Eco-system may be deteriorating"? "Why are people worried about the Eco-system when....." etc etc etc. I hate this crap. Once again, you make it seem like we have biological task manager, "don't get angry when you're called a nigger in public because you know you blacks have high crime rates!" Fuck that, I'm trying to make my situation better, in all ways, at all times, big or small.
As I was saying in my other post...people have their sensibilities, you can't always know what's going to hit them, humans as a whole don't seem to focus as much attention on the large scale issues affecting our species, let's not pretend that black folks are somehow exempt from this. There are drinking water issues everywhere, I don't know if this is going to affect how I feel about black representation in movies though.
When does an outrage satisfy your scale of "worthiness?" Was Trayvon Martin worthy of outrage? Jena 6? I was bitching to my brother about how much of a coon Cole is in Gears of War, I don't feel like I'm being hypocritical however, because I still recognize important social problems (Both black exclusive and other).
Your idea also assumes that every black person is or should be affected by those issues. If you're a middle class Black American, or just a working/poor Black American in a non-urban area...you might not be affected in any way by fucking smash and grabs in the inner city. Maybe for that person, their material life is okay, they just want to feel less marginalized, and symbolic/representational issues are highly important. Obviously Paltrow wasn't being bigoted here, but assume that she was? It's not worthy of any reaction because of drop out rates?
I wasn't offended when I heard this story, but I am a bit surprised that people are denying the casual racism in the comment. Paltrow's 'clever' joke is essentially, "I'm standing next to some niggers in Paris and one of those niggers wrote a song called 'niggers in Paris', get it?" It's a stupid, casually racist joke, and using the title of the song as a defense misses the entire point. Again, I'm not offended and I don't think Paltrow was being hateful, but she was being stupid.
