the crying game.

an ongoing discussion/moment of clarity. 

words. 

"...Criticizing Waka Flocka Flame's music and the "cesspool" of popular culture is just a redirection away from the actual grotesqueness at hand: A group of young people singing a song about excluding and murdering black people as a lark. There are worse examples of racism in the world and more damaging ones. But the problem with the SAE's singalong racist chant was that they were engaged in a singalong racist chant. The problem that needs to be fixed isn't rap music. It's things like blaming rap music for racism."
