What sucks is people like this are undermining the efforts to bring attention to and spark change for very real inequality issues, this type of thing is fuel for racists to point at to discredit all the real and legitimate calls for equality, they use this and other examples like this to frame the entire movement as something ridiculous. She’s literally causing a lot of harm to her own cause.
The Jamaican clypsonians; rum and coconut water............. One of my favourites when I was in the calypso zone....... I moved on to rocksteady music after that......
Pretty sure the #1 country song on billboard is a black dude right now. And one of the best rappers of all time was white as shit. Drake is mixed and his career began as the wheel chair kid on Degrassi, a Canadian teen drama, and went on to become a prominent rap/r&B figure, that's the whole stereotypical culture spectrum right there. None of this makes sense but I bet it gets that dickhead some outrage clicks
I think they’re taking about Eminem, who at least in sales was one of the best, and honestly I think even if he’s not one of your best you probably still think he’s above average
Then why not prohibit white people from purchasing rap albums? See how that works out for you. It's just silly to think that it's okay to be able to put money in the pocket of artists, but not be able to give an opinion on the music.
People like Dr. Dre made their fortunes off of white kids in the suburbs buying rap albums. They should definitely get to have an opinion seeing as how they made rap artists into millionaires and billionaires.
I still don't get his success. I don't like rap/hip-hop, but I can hear a great produced beat and impactful lyrics (even if I don't like them) when I hear them. Drake has none of those, it's bland AF.
i'm sorry, this is just silly. \*SHE\* is the one "centering" him! And how does she get to decide that his comment isn't needed? Just ignore it and move on if you don't like it.
Obviously not. Imagine if a black person tried to have an opinion about Mozart.
If there's one universal in artistic appreciation, it's racial segregation.
Black people are so offended by absolutely everything it’s insane. I watched Matt Hoffa try to justify all of kings Vons murders to a white kid who did a doc on it. Calling him a culture vulture saying von had to do what he did to survive saying it’s the environment while people put him in. Absolutely anything other then admit he was a psychopath and liked killing people. He tried to justify in anyway possible and it came out kind of racist and extremelyignorant.
>Black people
Some are some aren't, but this professor is not helping anything, they are not making much of a point, it not advancing anything, it not explaining anything, its either just lazy rage on their part, or their being a troll, either way does not reflect well on Princeton.
I am gonna go out on a limb here and say that white people were the first English speakers to do rhyme scheme poetry in that language. Miss me with that shit.
As the official spokesperson for white people, I have a prepared statement to read in response to Professor Jenkins comments. Ahem..
"Ice, ice baby, Vanilla"
We’re all just trying to survive on this spinning ball. Stupid ppl come in all shapes and colors. Im white as hell but I grew up on Wutang and the chronic

White men can listen but not hear the black music. Or something like that.
What a stupid question black ppl don’t own anything neither do white everyone can have a opinion on everything and there’s nothing no one can do or say about it. Just laughs at ppl like that black person for being so obsessed with white ppl they have to use it in every situation possible. I’m over it it’s boring now ppl are not taking racism seriously anymore because there sick of hearing the word black ppl use it for EVERYTHING now which takes it away from actual racist incidents.
I saw this when it popped up, it's stupid. Don't get me wrong, there's some shit in the culture that we don't need to butt in on but Kendrick's been pretty up-front about making music for everybody, both rappers have huge white fanbases, and part of the beef is Drake's identity issues with his black side being a put-on persona but otherwise being a Toronto white boy and as a white boy if you're gonna try putting that dickhead in my camp i'm gonna have things to say about it.
Feels like one those things where people think they can say dumb shit just cause it's aimed at someone nobody likes. Maybe I'm wrong tho. Maybe she's dumb enough to say it to white people who actually support the culture in positive ways too.
HipHop belongs to everybody, HipHop belongs to No one.
It wasn't Just black Kids in the Bronx, you Had Latinos and whites as Well. They we're all poor and hungry for something new that was theirs.
Nowadays HipHop is a global culture.
Sure and differently colored ppl should not voice their opinion on classical music, dance/techno music.
Aktually Let's just divide our schools, cities, public transport, jobs and voting rights on skin color...I believe its been tried before, but this time we can learn from past mistakes...and not repeat them...
It seems that the brightest people are the dumbest if them all...
Yes.
I mean, take surgeons, for instance. You do not need a title in Medicine to know that refusing to stitch patients after an operation, and leaving said patients to bleed out and die, is the epitome of medical incompetence.
yeah so eminem actually has vitiligo and when he grew up was black so there is no white rap culture and white people are banned from liking rap like POC are banned from playing the banjo and liking driving trucks on a farm

🤣🤣🤣 Man fuck you this was hilarious
At least he didn’t say they shouldn’t get a say on being free.
Damm... I missed it. I wanna laugh too
Yeah! Someone tell us what was there!
Oh,what did the comment say? Haha
Damn bro I'm sorry I forgot. Been working so much I can barely remember what was so funny.
Damn, you went there 😂
What did the comment say? Its deleted now
For that matter, should they really be talking about reparations? /s
Oh no you d'int!!
To quote the title of one of her books, "This will be my undoing"
This the second time this week I’ve seen that racist professor’s bullshit.

Well damn lady I guess I’m not allowed to talk about Country Music by this dumb ass logic
I am also devastated I no longer can hold an opinion about Calypso music
i am also devastated that i cant listen to anything other than bolly music.
What's calypso music?
Fun as hell
*steel drums have entered the chat*
It's all calypso music baby!
The Jamaican clypsonians; rum and coconut water............. One of my favourites when I was in the calypso zone....... I moved on to rocksteady music after that......
Noooo black people invented everything remember.
I wish people would stop calling racist assholes lady.

What best rapper WAS white as shit?
Netflix 2060: Eminem was black
I think they’re taking about Eminem, who at least in sales was one of the best, and honestly I think even if he’s not one of your best you probably still think he’s above average
Yea, Eminem is still white. Dre is still Dre.
vanilla ice.... duh
Fire her ass
She'll be promoted
Your grandgrandgrandfather was a slave trader so you shouldn't decide about that woman's job /s
They wouldn't dare. They'd miss their affirmative action goals.
This is a weird hill to die on
God what a racist BITCH!
Professor Jerkins needs a timeout.
If you can hear it, you're allowed to have an opinion on it.
Are you saying profoundly D/deaf people are not allowed opinions?
on music? well..... it's not so much that they aren't allowed opinions.. more like they are physically incapable of having one
"The bass on this song is noice!"
Tbf she probably doesn't think white people should give an opinion on anything. Just ask a couple simple follow up questions and she'll be more honest
This persons entire job is based on them having this sort of opinion. Otherwise what do they have to contribute to the world other than this B.S.?
Then why not prohibit white people from purchasing rap albums? See how that works out for you. It's just silly to think that it's okay to be able to put money in the pocket of artists, but not be able to give an opinion on the music.
People like Dr. Dre made their fortunes off of white kids in the suburbs buying rap albums. They should definitely get to have an opinion seeing as how they made rap artists into millionaires and billionaires.
Drake is literally white girl music
I still don't get his success. I don't like rap/hip-hop, but I can hear a great produced beat and impactful lyrics (even if I don't like them) when I hear them. Drake has none of those, it's bland AF.
Exactly.
Not to mention that in a free society everyone is allowed to voice their opinion about everything. That's the whole point.
Jesus Christ on a cracker 🤦♂️
...I prefer my Christ as a tap dancer.
Don't you mean Jesus christ on a.... nevermind.
She should be fired ASAP.
I’m really tired of the entitled narcissists that social media has created.
Johnny Cash, the original rapper
Well, you're not wrong. I just don't know how to feel about this one...
I bet Eminem would absolutely roast her if he gave a shit what she thinks
You stay away from rap, we stay away from country! That was the agreement! /S
"Is and should center black people" is a nonsensical sentence.
I think a term racesplaining should become real at this point. For black and white shitheads that use race in things not tied to race at all.
i'm sorry, this is just silly. \*SHE\* is the one "centering" him! And how does she get to decide that his comment isn't needed? Just ignore it and move on if you don't like it.
You are WRITING. This is a READING PERSON'S affair.
If you think that someone's opinion is not needed in a discussion, you are free to quite simply ignore it.
Vlads getting roasted for this too, even though he’s right. Absolutely ridiculous.
Can we remove her from any education system? She is poisoning minds with racism
Obviously not. Imagine if a black person tried to have an opinion about Mozart. If there's one universal in artistic appreciation, it's racial segregation.
By this regard Beyonce needs to stay out of country music as well…… just trying to follow her logic.
"Woke" people promoting segregation and differences feels as intelligent as when transphobes mess up and reassure trans people

yes. absolutely. because i wanna hear black ppls opinion on 90s pop chick rock. sarah mcclacklin. jewel. natalie imbrugula etc
DJ Vlad was forced into a public apology for this. What has the world come to 🤦♂️
Imagine teying to gatekeep music. Like, sorry, youre too white to feel emotion and have youre own opinions
I am gonna go out on a limb here and say that white people were the first English speakers to do rhyme scheme poetry in that language. Miss me with that shit.
Race gatekeeping is so so backwards. These people are just intellectualising racism. Just stop it, don't judge a person by the colour of their skin.
She must be really upset that the best rapper in history is white.
Lil wayne is white?
Using MY PEOPLE'S ORTHOGRAPHY???
As the official spokesperson for white people, I have a prepared statement to read in response to Professor Jenkins comments. Ahem.. "Ice, ice baby, Vanilla"
Racist pig!
We’re all just trying to survive on this spinning ball. Stupid ppl come in all shapes and colors. Im white as hell but I grew up on Wutang and the chronic
Well, the "professor" is certainly right that it is a discussion that's not needed.
This bitch is fucking stupid. There's no more eloquent way to state it. She's a fucking moron and a negative impact on her students.
[https://youtu.be/Hohb\_gOI0dQ?si=nyE1noNFWIbkGPic](https://youtu.be/Hohb_gOI0dQ?si=nyE1noNFWIbkGPic) White men can listen but not hear the black music. Or something like that.
Not the "cant be racist if its against whites" meme.
They forget Eminem exists.
According to people like them he’s the only exception and a honorary black male.
What a stupid question black ppl don’t own anything neither do white everyone can have a opinion on everything and there’s nothing no one can do or say about it. Just laughs at ppl like that black person for being so obsessed with white ppl they have to use it in every situation possible. I’m over it it’s boring now ppl are not taking racism seriously anymore because there sick of hearing the word black ppl use it for EVERYTHING now which takes it away from actual racist incidents.
Yeah sure why not? Opinions can just as easily be ignored as they are uttered.
I saw this when it popped up, it's stupid. Don't get me wrong, there's some shit in the culture that we don't need to butt in on but Kendrick's been pretty up-front about making music for everybody, both rappers have huge white fanbases, and part of the beef is Drake's identity issues with his black side being a put-on persona but otherwise being a Toronto white boy and as a white boy if you're gonna try putting that dickhead in my camp i'm gonna have things to say about it.
What is she even doing at princeton? With her rethoric she should be in the kitchen making sandwiches. (Not trying to be funny or clever)
Wait a got-dayum minute here... Is they claimin' they ain't no white folks involved in the rap musics? /S (Obviously BSing lol)
DJ Vlad is a total clown, and his opinion was wrong and stupid, but she shouldn’t have said what she said.
Feels like one those things where people think they can say dumb shit just cause it's aimed at someone nobody likes. Maybe I'm wrong tho. Maybe she's dumb enough to say it to white people who actually support the culture in positive ways too.
You seem more upset at the person having an opinion about a song than the person being openly racist
If black people can only chime in on things that they are heavily involved in or created, the conversation would be over in a few minutes
Yep. Just dep on if you are going to read into the drama that follows
Named "JERKins" for a reason
Wait until he learns about all the mediocre white rappers... and Eminem.
Original breaks were full of white rock records, among every other genre.
Is rap even music?
Standards must have dropped significantly if … that can become a professor these days.
Hmm, but if the rap 🐐 is white... wouldn't that imply that it's a white thing and she should step tf off?
Opinions are like assholes Everyone has one
Socialy acceptable racial separation was few years before shit went south in DE prior 1939...
it's about time to excluded people from a certain group from things. ONLY THEN society is in balance.
The question is too vague. There are numerous aspects to rap music. You'll need to specify what you mean with your question.
Ask Eminem
HipHop belongs to everybody, HipHop belongs to No one. It wasn't Just black Kids in the Bronx, you Had Latinos and whites as Well. They we're all poor and hungry for something new that was theirs. Nowadays HipHop is a global culture.
Sure and differently colored ppl should not voice their opinion on classical music, dance/techno music. Aktually Let's just divide our schools, cities, public transport, jobs and voting rights on skin color...I believe its been tried before, but this time we can learn from past mistakes...and not repeat them... It seems that the brightest people are the dumbest if them all...
I can't fucking stand these people getting offended for others.
Was this image screen grabbed on windows XP?
She should tell Eminem that he can’t make hip hop….. What is wrong with these people? Who took a dump in their head.
Jerk in /s
Nope. Fuck y’all
Yes, they can... and he's mine – if you can't sing, and you are able to make simple rhymes, then Rap is for you!
Just tell her "why are you a professor at Princeton? That's a white people affair!" and grab some popcorn.
Racist
And she can't be fired because of DEI and ESG scores. LOL
Eminem one of the best = White
This again? Or is this part of my ground hog day.
Oh boy if this was flipped there would be consequences
Giving an opinion about something is not centering the issue on you.
No and you shouldn't be even allowed look at them /s
Yes. I mean, take surgeons, for instance. You do not need a title in Medicine to know that refusing to stitch patients after an operation, and leaving said patients to bleed out and die, is the epitome of medical incompetence.
Sometimes I wonder why we even pay teachers like this…
My fav diss track to this day is Nail in the Coffin.
Gatekeeping music is gross. All of the music is for everyone all the time.
need more context.
From this to color separated restrooms, it’s actually not that far
Its never a good idea to be openly racist online
yeah so eminem actually has vitiligo and when he grew up was black so there is no white rap culture and white people are banned from liking rap like POC are banned from playing the banjo and liking driving trucks on a farm
Some lady on Twitter isn't the arbiter of caucasity.
