Gwyneth Paltrow and Racism in General

You probably all know about the drama with

Gwyneth Paltrow!

 tweeting the 'n' word most celebrities said she did nothing wrong but the rapper 'Q-tip' had a slightly different take:


“listen rush simmons, toure, and all Black folk who are sympathist to this gwen paltrow n*gga thing….she may not have meant harm, sure it was in the heat of the moment but that fact that she showed not 1 IOTA of an apologetic tone….given the historical weight of that word is not responsible of G paltrow’s part…as powerful as hiphop is it DOESNT erase the years of damage that not only that word has done but circumstances that usually surrounded it…sure there is empathy for the black american struggle from all races but the empathy shld be extended to the great pain we as blacks…have experienced for generations. for the pain that we still deal with in our communities daily..was gwen wrong for recognizing unrelated people to the song as “n*ggas in paris for real”? debatable. BUT she SHLD have ….paltrow shld have offered a “if i offended anyone im truly sorry” as a person who loves black people and understands…there’s a scope of black folk that exist beyond the ones that she partied with in paris who are still dealing w the complexities of…their circumstances. black folks that dont know about giving a white person a “pass” … there is a lot to this thing. rush ? toure? its ok its all love brothas but lets build … later! and i got love for yall and im glad we can express our views! peace

Also in Britain there has been another racist rant on a bus, the bystanders really need to start reporting this sort of thing... Maybe there should be a Racist Anonymous hotline? Watch the video below.
