ok, look guys i know that this has been a difficult time for all of us, some of you have said somethings that we can't take back and i know a couple friendships have been tested over this thing

ill probably catch a lot of flcak over this, but i know that i'll get some pms from people saying 'thank you for your courage kumo, you did what i could not'

whatever your feelings on shake it out, i think we can all agree that it's claerly an important video that has generated a lot of conversation, and that is the soul of this here country- passionate informed debate -so let's just have it all out here, let's talk about the cultural appropriation, the veiled criticisms of southeast asian economic policy, the freemason question, and adrren aronofsky's screed at the sunday new york times review of books

She could probably afford all of West Virginia. Use it's mineral wealth and broken, easily exploited population to build up a strong military and then invade Western PA, which is ripe for the taking.

Probably a good thing most rich people are very dull and unimaginative tho.

im glad that the black people have given up on being upset about kids being shot and are focusing on the real struggles they face such as 'cultural appropriation'

I'm pretty sure the video is a parody. I don't think parodies count as appropriation.

If they do tho, man is Weird Al gonna be in (fake) trouble (on the internet lol).

I'm from Bethlehem which is like an hour from where she's from. Nothing coal or country about Eastern PA. It's like a person from NYC calling themselves country.

Uhhh, are you retarded?

Just an hour north of you is literally one of the nations biggest coal mining areas. Stretching across Luzerne, Carbon, Monroe and other counties. They still mine coal there to this day.

I was under the impression all of that poo poo closed down ages ago when the steel industry went bust. Still nothing country about that area. It's squarely in the Northeast.

There is a reason they call the area in between Philly and Pittsburgh Pennslytucky.

Same stupid rednecks, minus the accent.

I'm not saying she's 100% genuine in being "country" but she isn't exactly from NYC ether. Also learn some more about the drat state you live in dude.

I haven't lived there in the better part of two decades. Family moved when Bethlehem Steel closed up shop. I thought coal production dried up with it with no demand for coke from the steel mill. Guess I was wrong.
