Well i can relate to the pressure a stereotype can put on someone if you can't or simply don't want to live up to it. I have found there is as many that come from the Black community as the White community. It's a human thing nevertheless if you want to succeed in a White World it is White stereotypes of Black people that have to be overcome. I don't know when you grew up but i grew up in the 80s 90's and in a White neighberhood Racist comments we're an every day trial. But it has changed so much. Still work to be done but the direction of travel is true. and a bit of pain never hurt anyone.

I stand by my belief that Jay's joke was not racist i focus on the intent and just like Emily i focused on the intent.

Emily was not imo Racist she made the assumption that she could use that song and word because she felt comfortable with the two Black girls she was with. She was stupid to think that. Was her intent to cause offense No. Should she of been removed is a different matter as she was on tv there are different factors to consider, likewise Jay. Jay's joke was no where near as controversial as Emily's and so i'd let him stay on that point.
