Thread: 50 Cent Asks: If Britney Spears Can Use The B-Word, Why Can't I?

Same freaking reason she can't say ni**er.

I don't see what's wrong with his analogy really.

His analogy blows, especially coming from a black person that uses the word nigger every 3 words.

Meh I don't care, both should be shot.

You make good point.

One could argue about the proportionality, but he makes a valid point that artists are not treated equally. The censors set examples and often use popular rap artists for it, like 50 cent and Eminem. I often see rappers getting censored for saying bitch, nigger and fuck, but those same words don't always get censored when other artists use them.

And thus you have modern America, where political correctness makes everyone, and everything, seem dumb as shit.

And I agree with Iain. We should have celebrity knife fights. It's like monkey knife fights, but with celebrities.

Maybe a crash car derby? She seems to have been practicing up on running people over and running into shit. Put them both in a couple Mercedes SUV's and see who survives.

If 50 can you use the B-word then Britney should be able to use the N-word

I agree with you, he actually has a valid point.

Well since political correctness is based on people being offended and not logic reason, it becomes completely fucked up and impossible to moderate. Then the argument boils down to the context the word was used in and who was offended by it.


So it has to work one of two ways. Either everyone needs to grow up and stop being pussies about what other people say, or we can continue to censor every word that could possibly be offensive to someone else.

The first option is the easiest and most logical. When you stop being offended by a word, the word loses its power. People that are offended by the word "nigger" are the people that give the word its power. The word will never die and it will never lose its power, because people in general are immature pathetic crybabies that can't handle a word. The same goes for the word "bitch". Its not hard to understand. If Spears can't write a song about "I'm sick of niggers", 50 can't write a song about "pimping bitches and hoes".

Fuck me, I'm sick of this shit. If you don't like what somebody is saying, DON"T LISTEN. Turn the channel. Don't buy the album. Stick your fingers in your ear and scream lalalalalala.

Anyway, I have been called a cracker so many times its not funny, but I'm not going to cry about it. The word doesn't bother me, nor does the intent behind the word. What pisses me off, is I can be verbally attacked by a word, but I am not fire back because I am a white male. It is almost like every group in the country has the right to slap me in the face whenever they feel like it, but I am not allowed to slap the shit out of them right back. Thats fucked up.

I have had worse words than racial slurs thrown at me in my life. Hands down, the worst word anybody has ever used against me was "fatass" when I was a little kid. That shit cuts to the bone, and anybody can use it. Well, you can't stop kids from being kids. You can't watch every person at all times to make sure they don't use a hurtful word. The only thing you can do it learn to ignore it, or learn how to fight back.

Just as our rights and civil liberties get stripped away one after another, so will words that we use. It makes no sense either, and I'll tell you why. Words are nothing more than symbols. They are symbols for ideas in our minds. You can ban the word, but you can't ban the idea the word symbolized. So you ban a word, then a new word is invented or an older word is recycled
to take its place. You can make it politically incorrect to call Britney a bitch then tomorrow someone coins some obscure word like "brick" to symbolize what bitch use to mean. Pop culture spreads the word like the flu then everyone is saying "Yo dude, I'm going downtown and we gonna get us some bricks tonight". Rappers will be cutting albums rapping about "fucking these freak nasty bricks".

Then some dumb fucker will raise a stick about how someone called her a brick, then they ban that word. It will never end.


In a nutshell, people are dumb and society is ever dumber.

Matter of fact, my next single,I'm going to start it [with], 'It's Britney, bitch!'

I thought that after Kanye's album outsold 50's, he was done making songs.

Don't say that! The very idea is horrific. Remember the scene from Demolition Man were John got a ticket every time he used a curse word?

Quick! Think about Cartman with curse-word-generated-super-powers.

RESPECT MY FUCKING AUTHORITY!
