Why Can't You Take a Joke, Bitch? Part 2

The Chinese Freestyle Rap videos use a historically black form of music in order to mock Asians. There's a blackface intersection and parallel.

In the 03.26.07 addictedtorace.com podcast, guest speaker Harry Allen (AKA Media Assassin and close collaborator of Public Enemy) calmly and succinctly defines his view on minstrelsy. This is spoken in response to the recent rash of college "gangster parties", incidents where predominantly White party-goers dress in accordance to Black stereotypes in the media, such as painted face, buckets of fried chicken and artificially enlarged pants. I think what he said is perfectly adaptable to this instance, because DiCamillo's 'Chinese Freestyle' is essentially a minstrel show at the expense of Asian people.

The following is a paraphrase of Harry Allen's comments on the podcast on the subject of these degrading parodies of black identity:

I think that what Black people want most from White people is the elimination of White supremacy, and anything short of that is really just minstrelsy, in a manner of speaking. And what those parties and all that play represents to me is 1) making fun of Black people, which is part and parcel of domination, of belittling, making fun of people you dominate. And 2) a tremendous absence of will and courage to actually do right, to, instead, delay justice by having fun -- by more or less just goof off.

Allen continues:

... then they have to scream out, 'Why do they hate us?'
(answer) they hate YOU because YOU are hateful -- hate-filled!'

But, because it is all play to you, when the boomerang comes back around, you're shocked when it hits you in the head.

Allen then concludes:

...I think that a lot of the White kids who do this 'may not know better,'... (but) that's not an answer in and of itself. That those kids 'do not know better' is a huge indictment on them, and on the surroundings and the world that we are building... So, what kind of gift are you giving to your children? What kind of world are you asking them to inhabit when this is the pollution you produce-- when this is the pollution of character and of mind that you produce?

When told that the party organizers/offenders claim that they are not mocking Black people, but instead are mocking the MEDIA PORTRAYAL of Black people, Allen gives the following snappy response:

So I would say, 'when you are (actually) mocking Black people, what would you do differently?

Second Action and how racists are violating Youtube Terms of Use

Here's a second action list. The top ten results are all found on the first page of results doing a simple keyword search on "Chinese" and "rap". They're the most dangerous, because any little kid could be doing a search for real rap and find this racist crap instead.

Action Guide:

• Sign up for a Youtube account (takes 30 seconds) or sign into your account
• Come back to this page
• Right-click on each link below. Open each one in a new window. Flag it for hate speech.
• Optional: rate it one star.
• Optional: leave a comment "Racist. Flagged for hate speech. TAKE YOUR VIDEO DOWN"
• Optional (but highly effective): click on their user page and leave the same comment aimed directly at the uploader. They'll take this more personally.
• Youtube caps your comments at 5, then a freeze of several minutes goes into effect, but your ratings and Hate Speech flaggings don't get capped.

Ok, people. Let me get this straight. I AM NOT RACIST. Period. This video is all in good fun, and it's not like I believe in what it says. MY GOD, TAKE A FRIGGIN' JOKE! C'mon people! If someone makes a song making fun of white people, it's ok because we've evidently treated everyone else SOOOOOOO badly! Seriously, if you have to get all asian malcom x over a stupid song, you have problems.

Jagsalin (earlier today, posted in video description)
I did not make this song. I was just lip-syncing to it. I do not mean the things I say. This is Brandon DiCamillo's Rap. Not mine. I am NOT a racist.

kalsongen (19 hours ago) (the Swedish racist)
Rascist? Are you retarded? I bet you are one of those white "former" nazis who now preaches about how everything is rascist to make himself look better.
There is nothing rascist in this video, and you can even see our little asian friend run around behind him at the beginning. He didnt get pissed off, and if anyone should be it would be him and not some white american ass if it had been "rascist".
And btw this is a cover of Brandon DiCamillo's (Jackass) rap.

Unfortunately there could be hundreds more of these videos. Keep finding and flagging them using other keyword searches ("CKY" and "Chinese" for example). We're also going to put together a form letter and email soon, directly to Youtube, to try and get faster action on removing as many of these videos as possible.

if you're gonna get pissed of
about some youtube video,
when there are 2342805702
ACTUAL racist ones out there,
you need to get off the internet.
or stop complaining.

Nope. We prefer to stay on the internet, and keep complaining. It's not just Chinese people either, the freestyle rap is insulting to all Asians and all human beings who are even semi-aware.

boomhehe (1 day ago)
ok all those people are just trying to seem smart by saying this is racist, it is not. it is not making a joke at the expense of a certain race, it is making fun of those people who actually are racist, its a joke at the expense of racists.

Nice try, dumbass.

arabidcow (1 day ago)
racist? asian people don't have souls

Confused dumbass. Can't even get your stereotypes straight.

Which is Worse?

Almost all the people who lipsync to the racist CKY Chinese Freestyle Rap in Youtube videos are white.

Here are two exceptions.

Which is worse: the self-loathing Asian guy desperate for white approval, or the racist-loving racist black guy? Sad, sad, sad. These people need to get some self-respect and take their videos down.

oh fuck off you just gay ok hes not rasest god you guys r fags that think this is rasist

Anyone talking about racism just needs to be shot, straight out. I've been called a cracker much more than i've called anyone a nigger, spic or chink. And you know what? When it was said from any people it was only a joke... Why is it that comedy has got to be so straight edge? And you know all jokes based on race are generally false and maybe a generic very small version will fill that stereotype but you're more of a retard for taking all of this literal.

so funny i sent it to a chinese kid

ki1lah (6 months ago)
This guys is cool, anybody else with their PC shit can shut up and not bother commenting.

It's not racism unless people take it as racism, and if they take it as racism, they are racists.

Stereotypes aren't true, nowadays they are only used for laughs, people need to realize that.

Nice vid.
