If my friends are racist.. then yes. I would shun them. Not that hard

A lot of Eminem's friends are racist. They just aren't the white version.

u/Razatiger 4h ago

Hes very clearly making music with racist white guys, so not sure what you are talkin about.

It would make sense that you have no idea what I'm talking about.

There is a difference between conservative and maga. If you are supporting Republicans today, you are maga. Which is 100% a racist group. Full stop.

Can you? It seems pretty unlikely given what conservatives vote for and who keep showing up in conservative groups.

u/FarVillage188 9h ago

there are hundreds of issues that politicians vote for. and you only have 2 options: left or right. for any reasonable person who thinks with their own head, it's impossible to agree with one side on all hundreds of issues. I'll tell you even more: even conservatives among themselves disagree on plenty of issues, and so do democrats.

Democrats aren’t the left

u/Proponentofthedevil 6h ago

In the context of American politics, they are the left. "The real left" tend to vote Democrat. All that should have been obvious with the statement of having two options to vote for.

You can also be liberal and racist. People are complex as hell.

Kid Rock isn’t complex ; he’s just a dumb bottom of the barrel born to rich people idiot who got lucky.

Eminem is complex.

Wow, you must know them both really well to be so confident in that lol

u/ThatsARatHat 9h ago

Are you defending kid rock right here?

I would think just a cursory glance at both artists output would clearly show who is actually TRYING and who is content to put in the least effort possible.

u/TBizzle123 4h ago

I think even simple people lead complex lives and it doesn't help anything to be so reductive.

Edit: sorry, I do agree with the majority of your point

1

u/ThatsARatHat 3h ago

I would agree with you generally for the average person on the street just trying to make ends meet.

But fucking Kid Rock? Nah.

u/ilikechihuahuasdood 7h ago

can you? haven’t seen one yet.

Can't be a MAGA jockey though, the MAGA movement is straight up a Christian Nationalist White Supremacist hate movement.

I’ve been running the data on this for 20 years and so far you’re pretty wrong

lol.. as if many racist people haven’t had sex with people of color 🙄

u/psychonik 9h ago

This is exactly why Kid Rock is the way he is. Y’all call him racist when he most definitely isn’t.

u/renome 7h ago

u/JeffafaCree 10h ago

Lotta racists importing wives from Southeast Asia

u/psychonik 9h ago

He’s from Detroit there’s plenty of black women there.

u/Adventurous_Horse651 9h ago

He's not from Detroit lol. He's from way out suburbs. I googled. 40 miles away from Detroit. Not even really a suburb. His dad owned several car dealerships. He grew up rich and cosplayed as a kid from Detroit who lived in a trailer. Why are you defending this prick so hard?

u/Apprehensive_Pace555 9h ago edited 9h ago

That does not mean he’s not racist. Trust me , I have friends with husbands who have been caught with black girls and yet are racist asf. I also have a nephew with black grandkids. It doesn’t always mean what you think it does.
