so i just came across a post on tumblr where someone called tyler joseph racist for rapping? freaking rAPPING.
"tyler is a white-passing (i believe hes part lebanese) artist that could be considered a rapper (even tho i personally don't consider him one), and rap is a part of black culture. it is a genre that is dominated by black artists, was created by black artists, and has a complex history formed by the actions of black artists."
"tyler is a white passing artist, as i previously mentioned. he is not black. the genre of rap and it's history is not "His Territory.""
bitch, what?
you're saying that rapping isn't tyler's 'territory' because he's white?
correct me if i'm wrong but doesn't that technically make you a racist?
so, because rap was originally created by black people, tyler joseph is automatically made to be a racist for rapping? that doesn't even make sense.
also, this is of topic but someone also said that they "promote domestic violence" in the tear in my head video because jenna slaps tyler.
um ok? it's a music video? it wasn't real?
just because she 'slapped' him in a video doesn't mean they beat each other.
bad metaphor but i watched it this morning:
that's like saying fall out boy promotes killing because in the centuries music video they threw a rock and killed someone.
or even use the say amen music video as an example.
