I'm a big fan of that talented rapper,although i gotta admit that when i first heard of him in 2003(yeah i know pretty late right)..! i couldn't believe that he's that successful just becoz of his colour(no i'm not racist now but u can say i was...back in the days)i've became open-minded and realised that i can't judge anyone just becoz of his/her colour.Anyway thats not our subject i just wanna say that he became one of my best 5 rappers ever of all time,especially when i bought all of his funny-grossy humor albums(sometimes aggresive too..!) but when i heard and read this article 'bout him accused being racist(kinda ridiculous thought) you know becoz all of his click are afro-americans such as dr.dre,50cent,d12...etc...check it out and tell me what you think plz(i'm not sure if they are trying to make his image and reputition look bad but.......)

Eminem Accused of Using Racial Slurs

From the New York Times:

The track is by Eminem, and it sounds like a free style, not a song. Like much of his best and best-known work, this rant castigates an untrustworthy ex-girlfriend. But in this case the ex-girlfriend is black, and the rhymes are full of crude racial taunts. "Black girls only want your money," he says more than once. And early on he lays out his conclusions in sweeping (and inept) language:
Black girls and white girls just don't mix
Because black girls are dumb and white girls are good chicks
White girls are good, I like white girls
I like white girls all over the world
White girls are fine and they blow my mind
And that's why I'm here now, telling you this rhyme
'Cause black girls, I really don't like.

Even before the news conference had begun, Eminem had released a statement acknowledging that the words were his but calling them "foolishness," the sound of a spurned boyfriend venting his "anger, stupidity and frustration."


So according to this article three hip-hop fans have discovered a very old recording of Eminem doing some ranting and raving about an ex-girlfriend during which he uses some unsavory language and racial epithets. What's the big deal? In fact, I would like to know if there is a rap song that has been recorded that doesn't use a racial epithet.

Ok, ok, so Eminem is white. We all know that words like "******" are ok for black people to use but off limits for whites, but c'mon. Are they really trying to say that Eminem is racist? I think that'd be a hard accusation to make. I can't see how a racist would succeed as Eminem has in a market dominated by blacks.

Lets keep in mind that the source of this information, in this case a publication called The Source, was co-founded by one Mr. Benzino Scott. It is no secret that Mr. Scott has been engaged in a feud with Eminem for some time now. In fact, The Source featured a picture of Scott holding Eminem's severed head. This doesn't exactly make them a disinterested third party.

To me, here are the important facts in the issue:

Eminem had a bad experience in a relationship with a black woman. Being as how he is a very talented rapper he decided to use his talent to express his frustration. While doing that he got carried away with the name calling and probably said some things he didn't really mean. I'm sure we've all said some things that we'd be embarrassed to see printed on the front page of the paper.

Unfortunately, the recording of this tirade gets into the hands of Mr. Scott who has decided to use it to his advantage. What better way to discredit a white rapper then by accusing him of racism.

Honestly, I'm not a fan of rap music. I find most of it to be shallow and tasteless. I am, however, an Eminem fan and I hate to see him get torn down over such a stupid issue.

The primary defence of these fools being kept in power is this : they bring in money via tourism. This has been nullified and it is widely acknowledged that tourism would still prosper in the UK. I mean really, would people cease coming to see our famous landmarks just because these inbred despicable wastes of human life aren't there? NO. I have literally no respect for anyone's opinions that the Monarchy are deserving of their power and this includes members of my own family). Face it, as time gos by the people who are young right now will age and 50 years from now Royalty, if it still exists, will not be viewed with such admiration since the old aged generation of the present will have passed on and be replaced by NEW AGE broad minded thinkers. And also, makes me ill, I have read Royalists on here claiming that Anti royalists are all fools? How very hypocritical, when these sentimental fuelled idiots cannot come up with one legitimate reason to keep them in power.

i remember when i was a kid, seeing a movie about robots which were all beautiful women who were kept in plastic bags in a dark room....and they only worked when a circular chip was inserted into a slot behind their ear.
i think it was called "brandy _________" (i think it was a number that represented the model of the robot.)
Can anyone help me by telling me the name of this movie, and where i can get a copy.
I am assuming this movie was made in the 80's.

Serious question here..

Do you know any tricks to get a baby to take it's bottle? My youngest child is 17 weeks old and I flat out can't get her to take a bottle. When she was born she was under 2lbs so she is still really small & I am stressing/freaking out. So any tips at all that worked with your kids on getting them to take their bottle would be great!! Thanks ahead of time!

**Sorry for the post in here but newborn/baby section was really slow..**

Here is something for the Beyonce fans to think about. A friend brought to my attention that when Beyonce appeared on "Star Search" it was 1983 ok if her "B-day" is 9/4/1981 she wouldv'e been 2, but if you search the net it says she was either 8 or 9 so is she really in her early 30s and is she lying about her age for press reasons. This would put her around 32. I can't wait to see the answers
