By no means am I trying to diminish his actions. I still think Bill Peters is in the wrong here.
But again, go look at the quote again in the Seravelli article. He angrily calls it n----- music, then follows it up by saying what he hates about the music's lyrics. It's right there.
Don't imply I'm diminishing actions. I'm trying to work out and ascribe the appropriate level of rage here.
Tell me... is there any difference whatsoever between the level of outrage that could be derived from the following two statements?
“Hey Akim, I’m sick of you playing that n----- s---,’ ... ‘I’m sick of hearing this n-----s f------ other n-----s in the ass stuff."
and
"Hey Akim, I'm sick of the music you play, n-----. Turn that s--- off. I'm sick of hearing it"
Again, context. Bill Peters comes off as an angry bully in both scenarios. But in the first one, there's a smidge of potential explanation if lyrics such as this
https://bit.ly/2XTVqHj are the ones in question. If it was just Beyonce, or Earth, Wind and Fire playing... then triple yikes.
Can I spell it out any clearer that it was wrong?
Don't start ascribing malice to me. I'm just trying to wrap my head around the scenario, so as not to immediately jump on the tar and feather committee. There's at least one possible scenario here that paints Peters as an angry insensitive bully... that doesn't insinuate he's going to deny someone a loan, or disown his daughter for marrying a black person.
