"I'll Make it Raain Up In Heyah!"

For whatever reason, I love that line. Some think that's a racist remark by Fallon. (17 second mark)

Please. It was a funny line all the way around. I mean, right?

Actually, I Googled it and a number of websites popped up...didn't open them, but saw in some of the keylines that people were claiming racism.

 

But, of course.

 

i just googled "mlk was a racist" and got 5 million hits

 

i'm inclined to say it's barely racist. but there are bigger things to worry about.

 

Yeah, like if you're gonna make it to the Wheels/Vance Happy Hour.

It is a stereotype. But there are much worse stereotypes.

Sorry, I'll clean this up. Shouldn't have made it rain.

 

i remember someone posted a video of KD highlights years ago and "make it rain" was the song behind the video and talkhard/shooter came up in the thread like "is he advocating urinating onto a female? the kids these days! get off my lawn!"

i guess you had to be there

What race is supposedly offended?

I've never heard the phrase before the commercial aired.

PS: Z-Bo used to make it rain in the Portland gentlemen's clubs on a regular basis.

 

More confused than ever. Obviously blacks are okay with it.

So white people are outraged?

 

Hard to say. There plenty of White whacks out there. Just remember, though, there are plenty of remarks aimed at Blacks that are OK to say by "Blacks", but not by Whites. The n word comes to mind.
