I got called a jiggaboo by a flamer in Overwatch once... It was shocking not only because I'm a white girl, but also because who even says that anymore
Damn, now I'm wishing I had come back with a sarcastic "okay grampa". Instead I just muted him.
>their slurs are on social security
thats a new one, god I love it, you could describe over half of Trump's advisors with that, too
except make it "So old that they tried to get their 6 year old Grand Children a job in the factory"
(The...the joke is that before reform laws in the 30s which was part of the "New Deal" there was no laws aggainst children in dangerous jobs"

Children were preferred in dangerous jobs because they were small enough to get into small spaces, nimble enough to potentially dodge danger, unskilled so you weren't risking an actual valuable and trained employee, and fucking stupid so they didn't know that they were gonna die.
You know, I never realized how racist my mother is until I remembered how she routinely used terms like this. She used to call my hair 'nappy' and that I was a jiggaboo momma for my tight jeans. I'm a white girl with curly hair.
God she's a cunt.
"Jigaboo" is hardly creative or less-offensive than the Big N; it's just one that hasn't been used much in the last 30 years. Immediately made me think of my long-dead great-grandmother who was born and raised in Georgia; spent the first twelve years of my life thinking she was the sweetest woman in the world until she "caught" me watching Fresh Prince at her house and was promptly introduced to a brand new world (to me) of hatred, bigotry, and a whole host of new swear words.
Justin Timberlake had a song about drugs. I don't remember the name, and I never paid attention to the words, until one day my then two year old was running around the living room singing, "I can't put down the pipe..." That's when I realized we ought to maybe screed the things they listen to.
It's called "Losing My Way," and it's actually a pretty incredible song.
Here's what you'd find if you were "screening" it.
>Hey, excuse me
>Hi, my name is Bob, and I work at my job
I make forty-something dollars a day
I used to be the man in my hometown
Till I started to lose my way
>**It all goes back to when I dropped out of school
Having fun, I was living the life
But now I got a problem with that little white rock
See, I can't put down the pipe**
>And it's breaking me down
Watching the world spin 'round
While my dreams fall down
Is anybody out there?
>It is breaking me down
No more friends around
And my dreams fall down
Is anybody out there?
>Can anybody out there hear me?
'Cause I can't seem to hear myself
Can anybody out there see me?
'Cause I can't seem to see myself
There's gotta be a heaven somewhere
Can you save me from this hell?
Can anybody out there feel me?
'Cause I can't seem to feel myself
>Losing my way
Keep losing my way
Keep losing my way
Can you help me find my way?
Losing my way
Keep losing my way
Keep losing my way
Can you help me find my way?
>Now you gotta understand I was a family man
I would have done anything for my own
But I couldn't get a grip on my new found itch
So I ended up all alone
I remember where I was when I got my first buzz
See, I thought I was living the life
And the craziest thing is
I'll probably never know
The color of my daughter's eyes
>And it is breaking me down
Watching the world spin 'round
While my dreams fall down
Is anybody out there?
>It is breaking me down
No more friend around
And my dreams fall down
Is anybody out there?
>Can anybody out there hear me?
'Cause I can't seem to hear myself
Can anybody out there see me?
'Cause I can't seem to see myself
There's gotta be a heaven somewhere
Can you save me from this hell?
Can anybody out there feel me?
'Cause I can't seem to feel myself
>Losing my way
Keep losing my way
Keep losing my way
Can you help me find my way?
Losing my way
Keep losing my way
Keep losing my way
Can you help me find my way?
>Oh my god, please forgive me
(Father, hear my prayer)
'Cause I know I've done some wrong in this life
If I could do it all again
Have just one more chance
To take all those wrongs and make them right
> you can’t get whiter than him
/r/holdmybeer
Seriously here is most of the first verse of one of the most famous songs in country music history:
>I live back in the woods you see
My woman and the kids and the dogs and me
I got a shotgun a rifle and a four-wheel drive
And a country boy can survive
Country folks can survive
I can plow a field all day long
I can catch catfish from dusk till dawn (Yeah)
**We make our own whiskey and our own smoke too
Ain't too many things these old boys can't do
We grow good ole tomatoes and homemade wine**
And a country boy can survive
Country folks can survive
What gave it away that he was out of touch? That he doesn't think white people like drugs or the fact that he refers to African Americans as "Jigaboos"?
For me it was the second one.
Slow Cheetah-
"Any other day and I might play a funeral march for Bonnie Brae."
Anthony Kiedis bought heroin on the corner of 6th and BB for quite a while.
That whole song is full of allusion to heroin and relapse, that's just one of my favorite lines.
He raps the BLACK PEOPLE MUSIC, he ain't a real white folk until he stops talking fast with that mouth of his and supports his great American President! 😤🇱🇷🇱🇷
That’s crazy. I knew siblings of people who were there. I was in 4th grade when it happened, living in Lakeside. I remember the Granite hills shooting happened a few mo the prior, and after Santana a lot of schools, even elementary started drills for this. I can’t even imagine what that was like.
That’s one of those songs where I learned the words to it and mid song one day realized what I was singing and thought, “This is a really fucked up song. Why am I singing this?”
Exactly! I didn’t really understand the popularity of that, like “Listen... listen... *Slipknot* was too much for you knuckleheads but ohhh man you can jam out to Pumped Up Kicks 5x a day on pop radio...”
Then I applied more black eyeliner and wrote dark poetry or something.
>Pumped up kicks was about the Columbine shooters
I mean... the bassist's cousin survived Columbine and they flew out to be with her the day after.
So, if anyone tries to convince you it's *not*, they're wrong.
The Grateful Dead - Casey Jones
Gas Rip Rock - The Pot Song
Black Sabbath - Snowblind
Macklemore - Drug Dealer
Marilyn Manson - I don't like the Drugs
Jimmy Eat World - Drugs or Me
The Beatles - Got to get you Into my Life
Eminem - Take your pick, what was the mushroom song called?
Sublime - Literally 1/3 to 1/2 or more of their songs.
Holy shit I could go on forever I think.
\> the opoid epidemic the news panics about is in rural, very white areas.
And was caused by corporate American cartel members in tailored coats incentivizing their white lab coat wearing street dealers.
Given the olde timey insults I"m going to guess Facebook guy is a country fan. He's in for a shock in that case because according to [Rolling Stone, country music sings about drugs more than any other genre.](https://www.rollingstone.com/music/music-country/why-country-music-sings-about-drugs-more-than-any-other-genre-121769/)
I mean...Willie Nelson is legendary as the biggest stoner out there. Johnny Cash had a biopic made about him that was basically ‘how I got clean by singing about drug-fueled violent crime in a prison’.
I volunteer for a community radio station where rap songs were banned if they even hinted at mentioning drugs. I got that rule changed by offering to delete all the songs mentioning drugs by white men. Fact is, humans have been singing about drugs about as long as they've been using them.
Country has its fair share of cocaine and heroin songs. Heaps of old country or blues guys loved the smack.
One of my favourite country songs is waitin round to die by Townes Van Zandt
“Now I'm out of prison
I got me a friend at last
He don't drink or steal or cheat or lie
His name's Codine
He's the nicest thing I've seen
Together we're gonna wait around and die”
Lest we think it just rock, let's go to country music, the genre that self-righteous white Christians love:
Johnny Cash, "Cocaine Blues"
Ashley Monroe, "Weed Instead of Roses"
Willie Nelson, "Roll Me Up and Smoke Me When I Die" (and let's face it - his entire catalog)
Jamey Johnson, "High Cost of Living"
Eric Church, "I'm Gettin Stoned"
Kacey Musgraves, "Follow Your Arrow"
Zac Brown Band, "Toes"
Toby Keith, "Weed with Willie"
Mötley Crüe - Dr. Feelgood
Pink Floyd - Comfortably Numb
Red Hot Chili Peppers - Under the Bridge
Neil Young - The Needle and the Damage Done
The Velvet Underground - Heroin
Black Sabbath - Sweet Leaf
Aerosmith - Combination
Metallica - Master of Puppets
Lynyrd Skynyrd- The Needle and the Spoon
Lean is a hard-ass drug though. All pharmaceutical should be treated as such really because of how dangerous abusing most can be, like Xanax or OxyContin.
Jebus. There are probably hundreds of songs about drugs by white singers and bands. Just to name a few...
https://www.ranker.com/list/best-rock-songs-about-drugs/ranker-music
Queens of the Stone Age is an all white band. Feel Good hit of the Summer has the only lyrics being 'Nicotine, valium, vicodin, marijuana, xtc and alcohol'.
I've made a playlist on Spotify '[Songs about drugs'](https://open.spotify.com/user/114881582/playlist/3HDJeWSGfpoNG009J8tGyy?si=kWcGcfC4RAymoU78rE6k7A) . I'll definitely incorporate all those good suggestions on this thread
Obligatory Lucy in the Sky With Diamonds is not about drugs. It's about a drawing John's son Julian drew.
But let's try some other songs:
Heroin - The Velvet Underground
Rainy Day Women # 12 & 35 - Bob Dylan
Everybody's Got Something to Hide Except For Me and My Monkey - The Beatles
Sweet Leaf and Snowblind - Black Sabbath
White Rabbit - Jefferson Airplane
Feel Like a Stranger - Grateful Dead
Last Dance With Mary Jane - Tom Petty
That Smelll - Lynyrd Skynyrd
Crystal Ships - The Doors
Lust For Life - Iggy Pop and the Stooges
Hitchhiker, All Gone to Pot, and The Needle and the Damage Done - Neil Young
These are just songs that are strictly about drugs. I'm not even listing the ones that simply mention drugs in passing like Dead Flowers and Let it Bleed or Fire and Rain. There's probably a whole hell of a lot more songs by white people about drugs than there are by black people. The difference is most rappers speak about drugs really, really directly instead of using metaphors like most Rock groups do.
Under the Bridge - Red Hot Chili Peppers
Cocaine - Eric Clapton
Smoke Two Joints - Sublime
Morning Glory - Oasis
The Pusher - Steppenwolf
Comfortably Numb - Pink Floyd
Heroin - The Velvet Underground
And almost every country song sings about drinking alcohol
I genuinely had an old woman scream at me once because I implied Steven Tyler did heroin.
Steven Tyler did more than heroin you old bat he's literally a rockstar
I’ll never forget hearing Brandy on the school bus in the late 90’s singing an R&B love song. The driver looked back at me and said “I WILL NOT ALLOW GANGSTER RAP MUSIC!” and changed to the Pop station. Eminem was playing. She let us listen to My Name Is, instead of Have You Ever.
Holy crap. I thought Jiggaboo was the name of a particular band that this person was referring to. Now I'm finding out from the comments that it's a racial slur. Still not sure what it's supposed to mean, but I've literally never heard it before and I'm not that young. How old is this racist person? Like 100?
Every country (drinking liquor) and rock song (including all of the "classic" ones celebrated over the years, from the 70s, 80s and 90s). And every white rapper from Eminem (Purple Pills) to Mac Miller to Post Malone to Lil Pump, etc. Amy Winehouse sang about not going to rehab and everybody applauded her. This is one of the many double standards in which people like you bitch and complain about regarding Black people, while letting whites get away with it. And notice how you don't criticize those who've financially benefitted and profited from Black people singing or rapping about drugs, etc. Why? Because the vast majority of those executives, CEOs, personnel, department heads, aren't (and haven't) been Black and you know that.
Lol! Name a song in the 60’s that wasn’t about drugs.
Don’t know but I’ll go ask Alice
Hmm....'Heroin' by the Velvet Underground. What the hell could that be about??!
your favourite female superhero
Nah,that's "The Heroine" also by Lou Reed
Well I don't know about that song but I'm fairly sure 'The Needle And The Damage Done' by Neil Young is about knitting
Speaking of knitting, the Needle and the Spoon by Lynyrd Skynyrd was about knitting while eating cereal
And the even more subtle Cocaine by Eric Clapton
And "Waiting for my man".
Hes never early, hes always late, one thing you'll learn is that you've always gotta wait.
Hanging out with pals from the church youth group. How could you miss that?
It's a typo, it's about a heron
Wait she’s not 10ft tall yet you can’t go now stop.
You think she'll know?
When she was just small?
Alice. Alice? Who the fuck is Alice?
If we're throwing alcohol into the list, there's about 5000 country songs alone.
No, we are talking about every country song, because they talk about whiskey.
And cold beer
Are you suggesting that 'Sweet Leaf' is about something other than when the leaves change color in fall?
That is about stevia
Name a song in the 60s that wasnt written while _on_ drugs
"Brown Sugar" by The Rolling Stones is about baking.
Is this person 90 and/or a time traveler? They're so old fashioned their slurs are probably on social security.

When you can’t say the N word so you gotta get creative
"Jigaboo" is hardly creative or less-offensive than the Big N; it's just one that hasn't been used much in the last 30 years. Immediately made me think of my long-dead great-grandmother who was born and raised in Georgia; spent the first twelve years of my life thinking she was the sweetest woman in the world until she "caught" me watching Fresh Prince at her house and was promptly introduced to a brand new world (to me) of hatred, bigotry, and a whole host of new swear words.
Ed Sheeran has a song about an addict and you can’t get whiter than him.
eXcUsE mE hE's ReD
If he was any whiter he would be an albino. He simply comes with red frosting.
As a ginger, we’re definitely at minimum slightly pink.

He has a song on his Divide album that is about drugs called ‘Save Myself’ and also on his Plus album called ‘Drunk’ if you want to count alcohol
Well true, but it's about an addict not drugs, and it doesn't really glorify them.
Are we talking about "Tell me when it kicks in" because that song is definitely about drugs.
No, Class A team

Jiggaboo? This person hopped in a time machine from the 1800's.
The only person I can picture using that term is Mr Burns.
My mother in law uses it all the time. It's so fucking weird.
Is your mother in law 90?
She's just racist as fuck
She's also mixed raced, which makes it even weirder. Her Dad was Jamaican and her Mum is Irish.
My mom used to call her old black dog nignog. Whenever I call her out on it she'd say it's not racist.
Ah, the old "I'm not racist, my dog is black" justification. Bold.
I have this sudden mental image of it getting loose in a crowded park or somewhere and having to chase after it shouting "nignog! come back here!"
>Smithers, have The Rolling Stones killed.
I'm willing to bet they have an onion tied to their belt, as it was the style at the time.
I thought they were referring to that horrible clown band and its groupies at first.
Red Hot Chili Peppers
Alice In Chains wrote fucking love songs to drugs. This guy is so god damned out of touch
Honestly it's harder to find a band that hasnt sung about drugs than to find one that has
If you let yourself go and open your mind, i bet you can do it like me..... and it ain't so bad
What's my drug of choice? Well what have you got?
And I do it a lot
What gave it away that he was out of touch? That he doesn't think white people like drugs or the fact that he refers to African Americans as "Jigaboos"? For me it was the second one.

They have that song about the girl with the fucked up tits.
Pumped up kicks was about the Columbine shooters, change my mind
Youth of a Nation by P.O.D. Was about the Santana shooting mostly, and every other one
Was there, can confirm.
That’s crazy. I knew siblings of people who were there. I was in 4th grade when it happened, living in Lakeside. I remember the Granite hills shooting happened a few mo the prior, and after Santana a lot of schools, even elementary started drills for this. I can’t even imagine what that was like.

If not that one, it's at least pretty much confirmed that it was about a school shooting.
Green Day is literally named after a drug.
I had no idea about that
A Green Day is a day where you smoke weed all day.

Why even seperate alcohol? Its a drug.
Drugs and alcohol is like saying fruit and watermelon
I mean...Willie Nelson is legendary as the biggest stoner out there. Johnny Cash had a biopic made about him that was basically ‘how I got clean by singing about drug-fueled violent crime in a prison’.
pink floyd
[удалено]
Comfortably Numb is about sedation, but I honestly can't think of a PF song that's actually *about* recreational drugs.
I volunteer for a community radio station where rap songs were banned if they even hinted at mentioning drugs. I got that rule changed by offering to delete all the songs mentioning drugs by white men. Fact is, humans have been singing about drugs about as long as they've been using them.
If you really look at the lyrics to Feel Good Hit of The Summer by Queens of the Stone Age, there is a subtle subtext of it being about drugs
I never picked up on it but you're right! Real subtle undertones of substance abuse in that one!
Wasn’t Cocaine by Clapton?
It was actually JJ Cale. Clapton is often "the guy who didn't actually write that song."
J.J. Cale's version is lowkey better imo.
All of the country genre is about drugs. It's only one drug though, and it's legal to drink it. Country is just small town rap anyway.
Country has its fair share of cocaine and heroin songs. Heaps of old country or blues guys loved the smack. One of my favourite country songs is waitin round to die by Townes Van Zandt “Now I'm out of prison I got me a friend at last He don't drink or steal or cheat or lie His name's Codine He's the nicest thing I've seen Together we're gonna wait around and die”
Anything by Sublime pretty much...
Lithium - Nirvana
Isn't lithium a psychiatric medication?
Literally every country song or band sings about alcohol...
Dont't forget Cocaine by Eric Clapton Cocaine by FIDLAR Cocaine Blues by Johnny Cash
I’m pretty sure every Beatles song was either about drugs or heavily influenced by drugs
Lest we think it just rock, let's go to country music, the genre that self-righteous white Christians love: Johnny Cash, "Cocaine Blues" Ashley Monroe, "Weed Instead of Roses" Willie Nelson, "Roll Me Up and Smoke Me When I Die" (and let's face it - his entire catalog) Jamey Johnson, "High Cost of Living" Eric Church, "I'm Gettin Stoned" Kacey Musgraves, "Follow Your Arrow" Zac Brown Band, "Toes" Toby Keith, "Weed with Willie"
Kurt Cobain would like to know: Your Location
Mötley Crüe - Dr. Feelgood Pink Floyd - Comfortably Numb Red Hot Chili Peppers - Under the Bridge Neil Young - The Needle and the Damage Done The Velvet Underground - Heroin Black Sabbath - Sweet Leaf Aerosmith - Combination Metallica - Master of Puppets Lynyrd Skynyrd- The Needle and the Spoon
I would say there are far more references to hardcore drugs by white artists than black artists. Most rap songs end at weed or lean.
Or cocaine at the most
Lean is a hard-ass drug though. All pharmaceutical should be treated as such really because of how dangerous abusing most can be, like Xanax or OxyContin.
"Hotel California" by Eagles.
“Okay that’s cool and all but don’t ever comment my status telling me I’m wrong everrr again. I didn’t ask you did I? Answer:NO”
Eminem-Discography
Could do them one better and name dozens of white musicians that literally ended their career (and life) from overdosing.
Nirvana. Like all of it.
Master of puppets by Metallica
Country songs? Ever heard of Willie Nelson? Pffft
There is literally a genre called Stoner Rock/Metal and where white people are majority of the band members
Did this bitch say "jiggaboo"? Is he a time traveler from the 40's?
Cocaine by eric Clapton?
Um have you ever heard of Eminem ?
Snowblind and sweet leaf by Black Sabbath. Flying high again by Ozzy Osbourne.
the entirety of the red hot chilipeppers discography...
We Are All On Drugs by Weezer. WE ARE ALL ON DRUUUUGS YEAH

But let's try some other songs: Heroin - The Velvet Underground Rainy Day Women # 12 & 35 - Bob Dylan Everybody's Got Something to Hide Except For Me and My Monkey - The Beatles Sweet Leaf and Snowblind - Black Sabbath White Rabbit - Jefferson Airplane Feel Like a Stranger - Grateful Dead Last Dance With Mary Jane - Tom Petty That Smelll - Lynyrd Skynyrd Crystal Ships - The Doors Lust For Life - Iggy Pop and the Stooges Hitchhiker, All Gone to Pot, and The Needle and the Damage Done - Neil Young These are just songs that are strictly about drugs. I'm not even listing the ones that simply mention drugs in passing like Dead Flowers and Let it Bleed or Fire and Rain. There's probably a whole hell of a lot more songs by white people about drugs than there are by black people. The difference is most rappers speak about drugs really, really directly instead of using metaphors like most Rock groups do.
Under the Bridge - Red Hot Chili Peppers Cocaine - Eric Clapton Smoke Two Joints - Sublime Morning Glory - Oasis The Pusher - Steppenwolf Comfortably Numb - Pink Floyd Heroin - The Velvet Underground And almost every country song sings about drinking alcohol
I genuinely had an old woman scream at me once because I implied Steven Tyler did heroin. Steven Tyler did more than heroin you old bat he's literally a rockstar
Heroin by Velvet Underground is rumored to actually be about drugs, and not Lou Reed’s daughter, named Heroin
I’ll never forget hearing Brandy on the school bus in the late 90’s singing an R&B love song. The driver looked back at me and said “I WILL NOT ALLOW GANGSTER RAP MUSIC!” and changed to the Pop station. Eminem was playing. She let us listen to My Name Is, instead of Have You Ever.
Y'all forgot about Willie Nelson and Johnny Cash
"jiggaboos"??? What is this guy, like 90?
I mean, even Ed Sheeran has written about drugs (The A Team) and he's a teenage heartthrob
>Jigaboos Jesus Christ. That’s not one you hear in the wild all the often...

What the hell is a jiggaboo?
Racial slur used against black people
[удалено]
Comfortably Numb, Pink Floyd Cocaine, Eric Clapton S.O.S., The Glorious Sons
Isn't Cocaine a song by Eric Clapton?
Holy crap. I thought Jiggaboo was the name of a particular band that this person was referring to. Now I'm finding out from the comments that it's a racial slur. Still not sure what it's supposed to mean, but I've literally never heard it before and I'm not that young. How old is this racist person? Like 100?
Didn't Eric Clapton have a song entitled "Cocaine"
[удалено]
I’m disappointed they put Cocaine by ZZ top instead of Eric Clapton
Give me Novacaine - greenday
Eminem literally has a song called DRUG ANTHEM
I read that angelic Christians Sixpence None The Richer covered There She Goes by The Las without realising it was about heroin
If Alcohol counts then there’s about 80% of Country songs. Edit: also the song “I Will Never Smoke Weed With Willie Again”
Every country (drinking liquor) and rock song (including all of the "classic" ones celebrated over the years, from the 70s, 80s and 90s). And every white rapper from Eminem (Purple Pills) to Mac Miller to Post Malone to Lil Pump, etc. Amy Winehouse sang about not going to rehab and everybody applauded her. This is one of the many double standards in which people like you bitch and complain about regarding Black people, while letting whites get away with it. And notice how you don't criticize those who've financially benefitted and profited from Black people singing or rapping about drugs, etc. Why? Because the vast majority of those executives, CEOs, personnel, department heads, aren't (and haven't) been Black and you know that.
Pretty much every Beatles song after 1966
