Oh Flava Flav. You singlehanded made a whole race look bad in every Monday. ;_; MLK is rolling in his grave, seriously.

I'm sure you didn't mean it that way, so please don't take this wrong, but that's...seriously not cool. :/ Would you complain that (insert annoying white person here, perhaps one who acts like a stereotype redneck/other undesirable white person stereotype) was making all white people look bad, and (insert acceptable/"heroic" white person here) was rolling in his grave about it?

I'm not saying that you're an omghorribleracist!! or anything, just that you should probably think a bit more when you're about to make a comment about race.

Well, as a member of same race as Flava Flav, I think I have the right to say that he does perpetuate the stereotypes that many Blacks fought against and still do. The very same stereotypes that MLK fought against.

Some (emphasis on some) people actually base their opinions on what they see on TV, especially when they take things for trutn on reality shows (which aren't totally real anyway).

You definitely have that right. I'm sorry if I came across as trying to deny it to you; I didn't intend to do that, and if it was hurtful, I'm sorry.

I guess your comment just came across to me less as "Flava Flav promotes hurtful stereotypes" and more as "Flava Flav makes black people look bad," which...is impossible, since no one person of any group should make an entire group look bad, but the idea that they should is often used in racist/sexist/homophobic/etc arguments. So I reacted too quickly, and for that I apologize.
