Comment on From Snoop Dogg to Lap Dogg
bizarroland@lemmy.world 2 days agoThat’s fucking racist, dude.
You can dig on him for his words and his choices, and the things that he has control over, all you want, I’ll be completely and totally behind you, having your right to an opinion.
You can’t say shit like that. That’s not fucking cool.

Hey, honest question.
This comes from this video where Snoop made up that word to insult people who performed at Donald Trump’s inauguration.
Is it a racially charged word? I thought it was just a made word up by him. If it is, that’s my mistake and I apologize. I didn’t mean any harm to any community.

I know that word because I’ve heard it said many a time. I grew up in the racist south and apparently the word is well over a hundred years old, so when Snoop used it against other people, he was trying to say like a worse word than the n word to describe those people.

Ooooof.
I made a huge mistake. I was completely ignorant of that fact. I’m a dumbass.
They were right to call me out on it.
I apologize to everyone.
