Robin Thicke: “Vibe Wouldn’t Put Me On the Cover Because I’m White”
Posted by Bossip Staff
Robin Thicke speaks on color in the new Billboard magazine:
When I did a recent interview with Vibe magazine I asked, “Why can’t I get the cover? This is a magazine I love. If there’s one magazine that I’d want to be on the cover of, it’s Vibe.” Their response was they don’t have white artists on the cover; that the only white artist they’ve had on the cover was Eminem. I guess if that’s what it is, it is what it is. And I respect that because I live in a house with a black woman.
I won’t use the word “racism.” I will say it’s a tough — but rewarding — fight. I look at Mary J. Blige, somebody who has had only a few pop hits and yet has changed culture, generated new sounds and inspired leagues of artists. She’s now a worldwide phenomenon. And it’s because of what she stood for; she never gave up. She kept making great music, pouring her heart out to people.
You can’t always expect people to be as color-blind or open-minded as you want. What you can do is keep giving your heart and soul, like Bob Marley did. His music became so overwhelmingly loving; it was a relentless love in a sense. Keep beating them down with love and they can’t stop you.

Double standards!
2nd. Damn. We need to stop this judging.
he’s full of shit. he’s not on Vibe’s cover because HE’S NOT THAT BIG A STAR YET. sell a few million more albums, then maybe you’ll make the cover. why did he feel the need to mention that he’s married to a black woman? talk about pulling the race card…
What Black women…. Is his wife Black???
white people are the LAST mf’s on this planet who should be trying to call racism anyway.

Well put Mr. Thick….he spoke on the issue really well. It is racist and thats too bad there are double standards like that. I’ve never heard a white magazine say “we dont put black people on the cover” so blatently. That would be racist. so for them to say that no white people can be on the cover, thats racist.
@truth
yeah, he’s married to Paula Patton.
YEs his wife is black…I believe its paula patton
Vibe is full of shit!!! He is a great artist, and they put Eminen on a cover…WTF!!
That’s not true. Gwen Stefanie and Eminem were on the cover. If they were big enough to do it, when he is big enough he can do it. 98% of his fans are BLACK WOMEN!!
gwen stefani was on the cover
Justin Timberlake did the cover of VIBE aswell.
i want to hear Vibe’s side of the story first. who’s to say he’s telling the truth about their response? he could very well be lying. and how do we know white magazines haven’t said the same thing to black artists? maybe they just didn’t go public with it like this guy did. i’m pretty sure there are plenty of white magazines that have done the same thing to black artists.
The point is that Vibe said they dont put whites on the cover ….not that he’s not famous enough
Hold up, Robin Thicke has had one hit record, one! And that was for the ladies, saying you should be on the cover of Vibe is like saying Monique should be on the cover of Smooth or King, niggas aint gonna buy that shit!
Robin, stay your ass at home with your black wife, keep making songs for women and then maybe after 5 more hits (like Eminem) your ass can get the cover.
Love 6am…….See when a story is interesting I’ll come back in here and post!
He sounds like he on that crack again.
I like Robin Thicke. And if you have the gall to put talentless people like Eminem on the cover, and other white people like Gwen Stephanie (who isn’t soulful to me at all!) then why not put Robin on. REVERSE RACISM AT IT’S WORST.
I,m so sorry to hear that Robin Thicke because, I really enjoy your music. I can’t even tell you the last time I picked up a Vibe magazine anyway.Sista to Sista yea, Vibe no
@A.K 47 stan obama2008 & john
THANK YOU!!!! that proves that robin thicke is full of shit and just looking for attention for his album. like i said, he isn’t that big a star yet; there are still PLENTY of people who don’t know who the hell he is.
Okay…I understand exactly what he was trying to say…It’s not just Blacks that get hit with discrimation…it’s everyone of every color. It is not great to be on the other end of discrimation! I don’t believe that he is playing the race card either! I’m pretty sure that his wife has enlighten him at one point or another “HOW” to live or “BE” in a black persons world! I’m pretty sure that we have at one time or another either experienced this or know someone who has. We need to continue to pray and believe in our hearts that “WE” can if nobody else does…MAKE A CHANGE!
@ROBIN THICKE
DONT YOU WORRY ABOUT IT HONEY. FOR 2 REASONS, YOUR MUSIC IS BRILLIANT AND YOU ARE A TALENTED ARTIST. AND I, WILL BE THE FIRST THING SMOKING TO THE RECORD STORE TO BUY IT. I DONT CARE IF YOU ARE PURPLE. YOU ARE OKAY IN MY BOOK DAMMIT. 2nd REASON YOU SHOULDNT WORRY ABOUT IT, IS BECAUSE VIBE SUCKS ANY DAMNED WAY. AND HAS BEEN SUCKING FOR THE PAST COUPLE OF YEARS. THATS WHY WHEN THEY CANCELLED MY FREE SUBSCRIPTION, I DIDNT GIVE A DAMN. CAUSE THEY ARE WACK. NOW, KNOW THAT I LOVE YOU, AND KEEP PUTTING OUT THAT GOOD MUSIC.
His music is terrible anyway. He’s not neo-soul, r&b or whatever he says his music is. Just another artist who has a few minutes of fame left. Remember Job B?

GOOD AFTERNOON 6AM, MY DISSAPEARING FRIEND. WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN ANYWAY?
“The point is that Vibe said they dont put whites on the cover ….not that he’s not famous enough”
____________________________________________________
like i said, wait for Vibe’s side of the story. we don’t know that they really said that. and the point is, he’s NOT famous enough for the cover, especially since they HAVE had white artists on their cover. that was most likely the real reason.
Wasn’t Robert Dinero just on the cover with 50cent?
This is offensive as hell that they would tell him this b.s. I remember when Gwen Stefani and Eminem was on the cover. What the hell??
Yeah Vibe got some explaining to do… But I will say that maybe it was because he hasn’t had enough hits but because his white? Thats some bull!
Robin Thicke: “Vibe Wouldn’t Put Me On the Cover Because I’m White”
___________-
so what, stop whinning bi*ch
Im mad that he “ASKED” them anyway.. Hmph!
All I’m going to say is that I hope the comment was taken out of context because I don’t believe that Robin would say “Mary J Blige is someone who only had a few pop hits” because thats not true and wouldnt make sense for him to say that because he helped her write some of those hits….
what?????????????
VERY WELL SAID ROBIN!!! Keep Pushing!
@lady elle
yep, he damn sure was. robin thicke is full of shit, period. i’m sick and tired of white people crying ‘racism’. if you’re white, you have NO IDEA WHATSOEVER how it feels to be discriminated against, so shut the fuck up.
AND HOW COME I KEEP MISSING FAW????????????
WTF??????? They had eminem on the cover but not Robin Thicke.
Eminem is really talented, so is Gwen stefani and Robert Deniro, Robin Thicke is famous because he made one song for the women, one song…….. He doesnt deserve the cover yet…..Unless Vibe isb thinking about putting another wack ass deep south nigga on there, then Robin deserves it more.
that sucks, it should be about music, not color, but unfortunately that will never be the case. Keep doing your thang Robin and one day they may be the ones asking YOU to be on their cover.
oh, and by the way, Mary had more than a FEW pop hits, but we understand what you were trying to say.
Hello everyone! Sorry but now I only comment when a post is interesting.
yep, he damn sure was. robin thicke is full of shit, period. i’m sick and tired of white people crying ‘racism’. if you’re white, you have NO IDEA WHATSOEVER how it feels to be discriminated against, so shut the fuck up.
—————————
Ok so thats reeeeeeeeeal fair of you to feel that white people dont experience any racism at all. Thats very one sided and perhaps with your train of thought maybe that is why white people would single you out or be racist to you.
cosign “double standards”
thats bullshit.
I like the new Vibe with Jay-Z on the cover, that shit is bangin’
Look, you can’t say Robin Thicke is lying, because that’s a helluva accusation. Either he’s a REALLY big liar, and is looking to be blackballed from recieving any interviews from black magazine’s again, or this dude is telling you what they told him.
I don’t see why Vibe really had an issue with Robin Thicke being on the cover. Ashley Simpson or someone like that I could see. Even then it wouldn’t be about race it would be a sales issue. None of the Vibe readers would buy the mag because she doesn’t appeal to them.
Reminds me of the Kimora Lee Simmons on the cover of Source issue. Becuz she was a woman and plus she was not an musical artist. But then they gave in and gave it to her.
FAW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! COMEBACK!!!!!!
Where i live white niggas/niggettes are discriminated against daily by these natives, and its funny watching their reaction, its like what, you mean I cant get in first, I cant surf here or you’ll kick my ass, whats a Hoali’ You dont have Oscar Mayer bologna, what about Farmer John? can you direct me to the mayonaise aisle? what do you mean you dont sell Wonder “white” bread!
LOL, ROFL……….
6am, I’d miss me too!
OMG, Im still laughing at that one!
Everybody have a safe weekend, and you for all you chunky bitches, just because potato salad has the word “salad” in it, doesnt mean its a diet food and you can eat as much as you want!
That’s interesting. Eminem (sp) made it talking about all the nasty ish he talks about and all the effed up stuff with his baby mama and mother but you get a guy who is promoting love, life, and happiness and he can’t get it. So he can be in the mag with the black folks but not on the cover for the black folks. That’s effed up. Black people are so much more racist than any other race and what makes it worse is that they feel justified to be that way. Giving damn “black card/passes” to whoever they feel like. Get over it!!!
robin thicke is the fire thats some good baby naking music…………..
robin thicke is fire!! Thats some good come sex me music
for all you chunky bitches, just because potato salad has the word “salad” in it, doesnt mean its a diet food and you can eat as much as you want!
*DAMN YOU*
Oh, well welcome to our world Robin….
We’ve been getting done like that for years.
Vibe is a black magazine……get over it.

——————–
@ why….I agree. Its completely double standards. black people make racist remarks about whites all the time, but when a white does it, its completely out of line and they’re racist. You cant play the game like that folks…its not fair at all to anyone.
He’s on the cover of Billboard so be happy…not every artist gets a cover and truthfully he isn’t BIG enough to deserve a cover of VIBE and can’t trutfully justify why he should be on the cover. I loved his last CD, but he has only had one hit and unless he blows up like Justin Timberlake, Gwen Stefani, or Em…take what you can get. At least you got interviewed Mr. Ungrateful.
Robin Thicke actually needs to shut the fuck up. All the magazines that refuse to put a black on their cover, and he’s upset because he doesn’t get the Vibe cover.
Yeah, that really helps when white people get the covers of black magazines; but you won’t speak to getting more white magazines to put blacks on the cover in the first place.
Hey, Robin, just because you’re married to a black woman doesn’t give you the right to only complain, Naomi Campbell style, when ‘the rules’ set up to benefit you 99 times out of 100, don’t benefit you that 100th time.
Oh, well welcome to our world Robin….
We’ve been getting done like that for years.
Vibe is a black magazine……get over it.

forest fire….what white magazine would ever say “we don’t put blacks on our cover” please tell me one white mag…cuz Im pretty sure they dont care and they’ll put whoever is popular/talented/interesting on the front. No hate.

He obviously meant to be positive, because he says in spite of her few pop hits she’s changed the culture of music. How very white of him.
It’s time for Robin’s ghetto pass to be revoked.
FINE AS WINE……
nita you stfu dont bring his wife in that shit!!! I know that its mostly us that listen to his music. And alot of them hard niccas listen to that sensitive shit and get weak and emotional. so EAT A DICK BITCH!!
If this is true this is wrong. I am black and I love Robin Thicke. And if it is a wrong for a so call white magazine to do it then it is wrong for a black magazine to do it as well.
vibe sucks and will always suck!!!!!! they are followers in the industry definitely not leaders! average journalism at best and no creativity!!!!!
Don’t you worry bout it boo. We all know your music is the bizness! Keep doing your thing!
@ Why,
Bitch are you crazy? Black people are the most accepting of all races, we’ll take in broke fat white bitches (just ask any deep south nigga), fine broke messycan bitches, fine broke perfect legged asian bitches (just ask me) and its takes alot of restraint not to sock the shit outta at least one white nigga per day, so dont talk to me about being “the most racist mofo’s on the planet”
I could see if it was like a country artist or something, but he makes R&B music very good music…so thats just ignorant to me
@FineAsWine wrote, “forest fire….what white magazine would ever say “we don’t put blacks on our cover” please tell me one white mag…cuz Im pretty sure they dont care and they’ll put whoever is popular/talented/interesting on the front. No hate.”
Just because Beyonce and Tyra (and now Rihanna and/or Alicia Keys) are the token black females allowed on white covers, does not mean these magazines will put women of color on their covers.
I remember when Maxim advertised Aisha Tyler of Talk Soup on their back cover, for the next issue. Was she on the cover when that issue came? No. She had a small single photo and a one page Q&A. That was years ago. When was the last time anyone’s seen a black woman on the cover of Maxim, Stuff, FHM…. AP or Spin?
If I wanted to see a sexy cover of, say, Brandy, I needed to go to King Magazine…….. not Rolling Stone.
So yeah, damn Vibe for being bigotted……. but there’s a bigger problem than Vibe, right now. And that bigger problem trumps Robin ‘One Hit’ Thicke claiming reverse racism.
I thought it was Simon from american idol when I first looked at this picture
THANKS 6 AM THESE HOES ARE CRAZY HE STILL FIRE!!!!
Let me correct myself, im a 3/4’s Vibe reader, Ive noticed that the farther back you read in Vibe it turns into a bunch of Gay shit!
@ 6amhogetout…usually your posts make a lot of sense and I agree…..not today!!! That last comment was so outta line….and did not pertain to this argument at all.
We aint talkin bout niggas being accepting of fucking other races dumb shit…its just about in general.
FINE AS WINE…I’VE BEEN STALKING YOU FOR 25 MINUTES!!!!!!!!

1st of all, dont nobdy know who the fuck aisha tyler is so thats why she aint get the spotlight….2nd of all ROLLING STONE puts lots of blacks on the cover ….they would never be like VIBE and say ‘we dont put a certain race on our cover’
@OH LAWDY!!!! wrote, “nita you stfu dont bring his wife in that shit!!! I know that its mostly us that listen to his music. And alot of them hard niccas listen to that sensitive shit and get weak and emotional. so EAT A DICK BITCH!!”
Go ahead and back up the white boy just because he married a light skinned black woman, the white boy who damns Mary J through faint praise. Go ahead.
I don’t need a ‘hard nicca’; I prefer men who are already taking care of business, instead of finding it easier to live down to society’s negative expectations of them. And he’s not going to need a white boy for permission to ‘be sensitive and emotional’.
Robin Thick has a point, but his point is lost and suspect when he doesn’t also take white magazines to task for providing the example Vibe is following in the first place. Besides, would he diss Vibe like that to a black magazine? Or is he comfortable saying that to a white/mainstream magazine only?
I believe that Robin Thicke would have gotten the cover of Vibe had he stooped to Eminem’s level and just slammed black women a few times rather than appreciating us. I mean after all, after Em went on a racial tirade about black women, things opened up for him (as I recall in 2003, 2004, 2005) and yet some of us went on and still bought his albums. Now here comes Robin Thicke who doesn’t have to do that to sell records and he not only get slammed by his favorite magazine but a few of us as well. Damn shame how some of us get things screwed.
or have a failure to recollect.
And damnit.. I don’t want to hear the term “reverse racism” on BOSSIP!!! Whatsamatta.. your racism machine ain’t goin’ FORWARDS no maw??? First off I do INDEED want to hear VIBE’S side of the story cuz this sounds like all those whites who say “I went to get a job the other day and the hiring manager told me he’d like to hire me but he HAD to give the job to a black man”. That would be dumb because if any manager told you that you could haul him into court in a heartbeat so I know these stories ain’t true. Same thing here.. the cover of VIBE is for big million selling stars and Thicke is still on the level of a mid level R&B up and comer. Dayum.. let’s see if MAXWELL can get on the cover of VIBE again.
Also… HELL NO don’t you be saying blacks are the most racist people out there.. when you see a black comedian make a joke about whites in the audience and then DEMAND they be kicked out and the management of the club complies.. THEN you can talk about how “a white man has no rights in dis country no maw”. Or when you actually count the number of blacks who have made the cover of Us, People, In Touch in the last 5 years vs. the number of albums and airplay many black music artists have gotten.. THEN you can talk about how it’s hard out here for a white man.
@ Ms. Toson
Amen - I agree 1000%
i really want someone to explain to me why it’s called reverse racism? that’s such a stupid term to me. it’s either racist or it’s not.
NITA YOU MAKE 0 SENSE. RACISM SUCKS EITHER WAY. AND IT IS WRONG EITHER WAY…SO ONCE AGAIN EAT A DICK

It shouldnt’ matter whether or not anyone knows who Aisha Tyler is — she was just the host of one of cable’s successful shows, at the time — WHAT SHOULD MATTER IS THAT SHE’S FINE. How many of the women who grace mainstream (white) men’s magazines are well known? Those magazines will put no-name latinas — especially if they’re German Brazilians — on the cover all day long, but suddenly an Aisha Tyler isn’t good enough?
I hope you are not arguing that the only black women who should grace the covers of those magazines are the ones who are very well known to white people?
But the real point of the Aisha Tyler case is that she was advertised on the inside back page, but she wasn’t good enough to get the actual cover. What is that all about? If you’re good enough for a tease, you’re good enough for the cover — particularly if you have more accomplishments than ‘I’m a model’.
Again, Robin has a point if he were actually told that, but the reason why he brought up the point is suspect, selfish and lame.
There’s a reason you’re a Broke Nigga, Broke Nigga.
hot sauce for president lauren for first lady.
if vibe said that that was very wrong of them because two wrongs don’t make a righ..this is no different from other mags not putting black people on the cover same thing…vibe is not a hot magazine any damn way…can’t remember the last time I bought a copy
I am black and I like Robin better then half the R&b cats out now…….
HOT SAUSE AND LAUREN 2008 I WILL VOTE

Marshall Mathers is the best selling rap artist of all time, of any color — and he got the first Oscar given to a rap song, to boot. Whether you love him or hate him or feel indifferent, he was selling a lot of albums, therefore he earned his magazine covers.
And, given the fact that Eminem was involved in one of the biggest magazine versus magazine rap beefs of all time, the covers thing may have to reflect that.
In contrast, Robin Thicke………
One of the editors of XXL or Smooth, used to like to make a point about selling magazines, and only putting people on the cover who would sell magazines, because it’s a business. I hate that line of thinking. If Robin Thicke was told he wasn’t getting the cover, we need to know if he was told that because Vibe didn’t think he would sell covers; or if Vibe told him that because they felt that they had a duty to showcase black artists first for whatever reason.
If there’s more to this story, Robin needed to tell it — or Billboard magazine needed to leave that part of the interview intact instead of excising it, whichever actually occurred.
@ Nita
“It shouldnt’ matter whether or not anyone knows who Aisha Tyler is — she was just the host of one of cable’s successful shows, at the time — WHAT SHOULD MATTER IS THAT SHE’S FINE”
If that’s the case then we should be seeing Allesandra Ambrosio or Jaime Pressly on the cover of King or Smoove or Big Butt Weekly, right?
Or can we just cut through all the shit and stop pretending that there are magazines for men who like white women, magazines for men who like black women, and that you’re just ignorant for pretending otherwise? There are magazines for dudes who prefer boobs, legs, feet, women in leather, chicks with pork and beans in their shoes, and damned near every other thing you can think of. Why the hell do we have to jump up and down and call Jesse and Al the moment that a black woman isn’t on the cover of a magazine that is sold 99.9% to white frat boys? If you aren’t going to call the NAACP because Hanna Montana didn’t make the cover of Ebony then just shut the hell up and quit wasting my damned time.
(that last bit wasn’t directed at you, Nita. Just ranting…)
I believe VIBE told him that, but so? There are a number of magazines that don’t put Blacks even inside the cover.
I understand VIBE’s point. This is a magazine that focuses on Blacks and unless you are someone that is critical to the Black music industry (I could make an argument for Eminem, Robert Deniro and Gwen Stefani), then you not going to be on the cover.
Being married to a Black woman (yes, he is married to a Black woman) doesn’t qualify you.
there *aren’t* magazines…
dammit.
Gwen Stefani, Eminem, and Justin Timberlake were all on the cover cause they SELL MAD ALBUMS!!!
Robin Thicke got him a lil following, but I did a little research on him after reading this - his 2006 album JUST went platinum… Sales Thicke, that’s why you they didn’t put you on the cover…
@ Fine as wine,
Robin Thicke doesnt desrve the cover because he aint a star……..yet.
Poor thang. He can be on my cover as long as I don’t get a beat down from Paula.
Look at what White artists VIBE did promote? Eminem, who’s music is mysogynistic, Gwen Stefani, who takes bits and pieces of Caribbean culture and puts it on her over-priced clothes to look “cool”, and Justin “Sell-Out” Timberlake himself, who famously left Janet out to dry…who’s the real enemy these days, the White man, or so-called Blacks who will pimp out and exploit the baser nature of Black culture just to make a dime? Robin Thicke makes beautiful music, maybe if you turned down Lil’ Boosie’s “She Dykin”, you could hear it!
Okay…I understand exactly what he was trying to say…It’s not just Blacks that get hit with discrimation…it’s everyone of every color. It is not great to be on the other end of discrimation! I don’t believe that he is playing the race card either! I’m pretty sure that his wife has enlighten him at one point or another “HOW” to live or “BE” in a black persons world! I’m pretty sure that we have at one time or another either experienced this or know someone who has. We need to continue to pray and believe in our hearts that “WE” can if nobody else does…MAKE A CHANGE!
________________________________________________
I agree with Shannon O.
It’s double standards…they claimed the only white artist they put on the cover was Eminem.
When Vibe wanted to interview Kimora Simmons and she stated she wanted a cover - they told her they ‘only put artists on the cover.’ Well low and behold her publicist BJ fought and guess what … KiKi got her cover.
So why can’t Robin get his???
Oh yeah and being married to a black woman doesnt automatically give you a pass to comment on racism, he’ll never experience the shit you’ll experience, if a real nigga insults his wife Robin cant do shit to stop him (and you know niggas will test him) If he isnt in his daddy’s will and he doesnt get another hit record she’s gonna leave his ass anyway for the next #1 NBA pick!
Man we don’t have time for this Robin, did you watch the DNC last night? We on the moved slim. LOL
blacks get rejected all the time by whites….no sympathy here
I love Robin Thicke, and I know a lot of black folks who went out and got his cd when it came out. He’s different, yet very talented…and to know he has a thing for black women is VERY sexy lol. F*ck Vibe mag….someday he’ll be on something better anyway. Keep doin your thing boo, and hopefully another album is coming soon!
Damn his wife is fine!
Biracial Bombshell,
Are you one of those fine ass 1/2 black 1/2 whatever bitches, or are you one of those 1/2 black fat bitches who think because shes 50% something else, who doesnt need a weave and liteskin so niggas should fall all over themselves for you and ignore the fact that youre 130lbs overweight?
hey 6am!! *waving*
Vibe isn’t shit anyway! I stop reading along time ago! His wife is cute though! damn shame! we have to move forward! It is too many racist people out here
Bye
Wow! It is not bad
im officially in love with ITS6AM…………..
HipHop weekly is funny
Wow!
I live in Hawaii and the natives do not like white folks. We’re military and I know plenty of white peeps who said they never felt racism until they moved to Hi. So racism is out there for all people.
On another note: They are not always so nice to blacks either.
lol @ how people blow shit outta wack…robin Is talented no matter what some of u say..he never once said he was upset..he was just telling HIS side..and im sure there is always VIBE’s side..i dunno how you all go on the topic of all this other shit..neway..he’s on somebody’s cover!
Bossip post some more interesting stories.
“Their response was they don’t have white artists on the cover; that the only white artist they’ve had on the cover was Eminem”…
If this was their response, they are TRULY racist. How the hell you gon put that white ass eminem on there..If hes lying, hes a lying ass bitch lol…
***correction*** as well as a mofo that could only hit 2 notes on the head lol
I love me some Robin Thicke, just keep making good music babe. Dump Paula and get you a real sista… like me. j/k
First of all, the article is about him being a White artist doing soul music i.e. blue eyed soul. He was not whining or crying or playing the race card. He was stating a point from his perspective. He didn’t cry racism, he said he respected their decision. Robin was very candid, and just recently called out the racist White men who criticize Obama on the radio last week. So can we stop judging people for once. We have gotten so sick in the head as people we can’t spot real racist bullshit.
He look so much like his dad.. I love his music, I think he should get a cover,
Robin is the business, I think what he said is true-double standards are evident especially when it comes to magazines like Vibe. Im a black woman and nothing he said offended me, he didn’t even really try to sound victimized he just told it like it is.
…I agree with him… Eminem, are you joking…same white boy that calls black women bitches and black men niggas.
@ Lola, I live in Honolulu, In hawaii kai, Im black and the only racism Ive experienced is when I was 13 and some older high school white nigga called me nig………. I didnt finish spelling the word because thats all he could get out before my asian niggas was on his ass! I actually felt sorry for him and tried to stop them but they told me to stay the fuck out of it they beating his ass because of what white people did to the natives 120 years ago.
Nobody likes military niggas here because most are from the deep south aint aint never seen a bitch this fine, natural hair, no kids, not an ounce of fat on her, shortest shorts you’ll ever see and nice, deep south niggas are too aggressive because they;ve never been anywhere.
6 am you bored baby? we canget somethin started

I live in Hawaii and the natives do not like white folks. We’re military and I know plenty of white peeps who said they never felt racism until they moved to Hi. So racism is out there for all people.
On another note: They are not always so nice to blacks either.

Just like Gilligan’s Island… Huh…
The natives don’t want nobody peein in their water and knockin up day daughters.
Cause u know dats what outsiders do…
I bet they be like, A three hour tour my a$$ they been here too dam long. You don’t have to go home but you got to get da fu#k outta here!

Who needs a “pass” to talk about racism. Anyone can talk about racism because anyone can experience it. I love the attitude around here that since we’ve been oppresed, we have carte blance to act like bigots to anyone in our way. That’s bullshit.
I don’t care about this dude whinging on about his Vibe cover. It’s insignificant. But I do care about us not acting like hypocrites. The whole “real niggas” shit is hilarious. If you step to someone white because you want to punk them in front of their black girlfriend, YOU ARE A REAL N—–. And I don’t mean that in a compilmentary way. Picture going to the some mostly white message board and reading a bunch of rednecks talk about how they would punk some famous black man in front of his white girlfriend. How they’d show that “boy” his place.
Sounds pretty ignorant and pretty bigoted. Sounds just like some of you here. Some of y’all need to listen to what you are saying, then substitute “white” for black, and imagine a white person saying what you just wrote. You’d flip the F out.
I loooooooooove sweet potatos…mmm
*LIB LOOKS AROUND W/ HER NOSE IN THE AIR*
IS SOMEONE TYPING TO ME…..
HEY WIZZZZOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! OF COURSE YOU WOULD RESPOND TO FOOD…YOURE PROBABLY BAKING SOMETHING NOW, HUH????
@ Common sense….co sign 100 about not needing a pass to talk about racism. Thats completely hypocritical to tell someone else they dont deserve to complain about being discriminated in any way.
UUUUUUUUUUHHHHHHHHH! Robin your pic pretty much sums it up!
@ Wenzel Dashington(Check me out!)
Dang…we can’t have nothin huh? How long did it take for a black person to get on Rolling Stone? Vogue? He can blow but he trippin. How come he ain’t askin Jet or Sista Sista to be on the cover? fuckouttahea! He’s had plenty of exposure in the Vibe..2 albums and he wants the cover? And only one of em was bangin…ya trippin Thicke

COSIGN…
What he don’t realize is that it is lame to ask for the cover. If your sh#t is like that they will offer it to you. If you have to ask for it then you haven’t earned it, simple as that.
