Following on from Mike Read self banning his UKIP Calypso because some people kicked up a fuss as his Caribbean accent should the singer lady Jessie J recall her hit Do it like a dude where she sang in a fake Jamaican accent with lyrics like "we can do it like the man'dem" which translated means we can do it like those men?

I've listened to the song, a multitude of times, never once have i heard a Jamaican accent, me thinks you're searching for things that might be offensive to try and prove a misguided point.

That's how people speak in some parts of London, it's not a Jamaican accent at all.. and the song is making a statement that Women can do and say exactly what Men do and do it just as well, it's not racist, it's not offensive, it's just a song, stop picking holes in something for no reason.

Not really. It's a song about gender equality, and while some of the song is explicit, at least it is better than some rap songs out there.

She should ban all of her songs because she's a ****.

Not really fussed about the race stuff.

I think the bigger issue was with his lyric content coupled with the mocking accent. Completely different to this song.

White people? Bit of generalisation, don't you think, there are so many different nationalities of mainly white people with very unique cultures

She doesn't.

But even if she did, what would that have to do with anything that was said in the OP?
