skillzdadirecta Posted March 28, 2023 Share Posted March 28, 2023 Glad to see this topic continue the proud D1P tradition of devolving into a discussion about food complete with the age old Pineapple on Pizza debate... Bravo sirs Back on topic... Kinda Mississippi TV Meteorologist And News Anchor Removed After Quoting Snoop Dogg Live On Air DEADLINE.COM There has been no sign of the Mississippi meteorologist since March 8. Quote There has been no sign of a Mississippi morning news anchor woman since she voiced a Snoop Dogg phrase on air earlier this month. Barbie Bassett has not been on air for the NBC affiliate WLBT since March 8, when her team were discussing the rapper’s addition to his wine line. Bassett said, “Fo shizzle, my nizzle,” when the idea of a Snoop collaboration with a newsroom journalist was raised. (“Nizzle” is slang for the N-word.) The station’s chief meteorologist as well as anchor, Bassett has previously caused controversy with a comment, referring to a black reporter’s “grandmammy” on air. She later apologized. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheShader Posted March 28, 2023 Share Posted March 28, 2023 I told my very white coworker about the news story, and he was also confused as he didn't know what it stood for until I explained it to him. I'm flabbergasted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anathema- Posted March 28, 2023 Share Posted March 28, 2023 Appropriating black American phrases is quintessentialy white American and using memes that feature black people is not even that. Digital blackface, on the other hand, refers to actually pretending to be a black American through the novelty of the anonymous Internet experience but instead has been a phrase appropriated to mean something divisibly absurd. Imagine that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, no it doesn’t. Pretty much the earliest documented mention of the term comes from Lauren Jackson, a Black woman, and she was explicitly referring to reaction Gifs. What is interesting is that younger kids are going the next level, as they reject gifs/memes, and instead do all sorts of garbage to more directly do the mockery.

Yeah, I always viewed that as part of a rejection of old people memery. Just make the absolute most incomprehensible nonsense possible. They also seem to inject themselves and their friends into these bizarre images. I had to tell my 14 year old to stop updating his iMessage contact pic with all the weird crap he makes.

mclumber1 Posted March 29, 2023 Share Posted March 29, 2023 My daughter's generation (12 years old) has rejected memes and gifs and even emojis. They just use text in their messaging apps, and punctuation is forbidden. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you can tell me how to get the Boomers, Gen X, and Millenials around me to use punctuation then I'm all ears. Doubly so if you can tell me how to get them to use it properly. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheShader Posted March 29, 2023 Share Posted March 29, 2023 The only exception seems to be when people go the opposite direction and use punctuation willy nilly.
