Welcome to 2025, Snoop.
Lap doggy dog is a tRumper.
Dumb ass ninja saw his dollars disappearing. So now he protects his money train. I’m done with Snoop. He’s an Uncle Tom mother fucker. He can get fucked.
FUCK SNOOP FOREVER FOR PLAYING TRUMP’S INAUGURATION
Oh he’s not a bigot anymore? Cool thanks for telling us Uncle Tom
he said hes not afradif “LGBTQ+” DOESNT mean hes going to support them or even like them.
The biggest turn off of leftism is the lack of forgiveness/mercy they exhibit
Right, why can’t they be more like MAGAs, who would never weaponize the government to persecute their political enemies? Right, Leticia James or James Comey? (Not Bolton, he deserves it. Not for the reasons Trump is giving, but he’s still such a terrible scumbag, even Republicans hate him).
Don’t like MAGAts* either
What others read when they see your words:
My morals aren’t high enough to be a good person and to vote for the good guys
ok bye then weirdo
Uncle Tom
“Racism is OK when I do it!”…
Uncle Tom is not racism, is an apt description
No, mate. Its racist as fuck. ie “Youre not a real black man, because you do white people things.”. Which is, wait for it, racism.
Call many white guys “Uncle Tom”? Bet you dont, because no one calls white people “race traitor” except for…
log off, touch grass. No one said any of that because that’s not what it means. You baited yourself into that position and then got angry about it. Go get some fresh air.
You can keep on saying it, but it doesnt make it true. You all jumped on the colour of his skin to attack him. Its actually sad how willing you all are to over it look it, because hes not on your side.
Another one that doesn’t understand the Uncle Tom concept.
I understand it just fine, mr racist.
Of course you do mr Kruger-Dunning
Uncle Tom has a different meaning. There are terms like Oreos, or coconut that imply a black person is black on the outside, but white on the inside, as in, they act white, but appear black. I can see how that could be perceived as racist.
Uncle Tom has a specific meaning a black person being overly deferential to, or appeasing white people, as a sellout to their own race. It comes from an old character in a book of a “virtuous” slave. It can also be used for any minority person complicit in their own groups oppression.
You sound MAGA making excuses for why its OK to round up brown people.
The actions of snoop, have nothing whatsoever to do with the colour of skin. You, and all the other racists, are making about his skin in a “no true Scotsman” fashion. Youre the same gaggle of cave brained cunts who bemoaned Carlton not being “black enough” back in the 90s because he liked Tom Jones.
Being a shitty person has NOTHING to do with the colour of someones skin. And if you think it does, well, you know what you are…
Nop, just trying to educate on the terms as you seem to be using them erroneously.
Yes, and what youre doing is trying to justify being racist.
Your education has failed you or you are some kind of troll if you really think what they said was racist

He is a black man sucking up to white people in the worst way, I’m gonna keep my definition and you can keep yours, please don’t attempt to speak to me again, you’re really quite annoying
Its not really that we have differing definitions, mate. If that you see it as fine to be racist, and I dont. There is ZERO reason to bring his skin colour into the conversation. Yet here you all are. Double, and even tripling down on being racist as fuck.
This is the problem with echo chambers. You cant even see when youre being the very thing you hate.
He’s a black man doing the white man’s work for him, that is my definition an uncle Tom, I don’t know why you’re after me bro find bigger problems in life than me. Also how dare you come To me talking about respect when I indicated I did not want to speak with you further, you’re a fucking weird weirdo
He’s a black man doing the white man’s work for him
Fucking yikes, mate.
he got paid to say both of the thing. he couldnt care less about gay people.
From one of the Related Articles :
“I was just caught off guard and had no answer for my grandsons. All my gay friends [know] what’s up, they been calling me with love,” Snoop Dogg wrote. “My bad for not knowing the answers for a 6 yr old 😳. Teach me how to learn I’m not perfect.”
Good on his friends for calling him in.
Whatever his reasons for “going woke”, I prefer to see this route to the JK Rowling route.
Yeah, if we can’t accept people changing their minds, then we will always lose everything every time.
This is exactly what we should be looking for…
Grandad says something bigoted.
Younger people educate grandad.
Grandad publicly acknowledges that he was wrong and gives others an opportunity for others to do the same?
How do you complain about that?
Preach.
When people come around we have to respect it. Some jokes along the way are cool too especially here which is practically offline (small circle of friends).
Hopefully we can all remember a stupid view we once had and if we apply the Lucky 10,000 concept we know that we happened to be challenged on it when we were young. Someone was older when they started to see things more equitably? Welcome to the light side!
this isn’t about love and acceptance. it’s about marketing lmao. snoop said some shit he knew would get him in the headlines and now he’s using that as an opportunity to plug his new TV show. he’s been doing this for decades. maybe lgbt people are tired of their struggles being exploited for a chance to sell eyeballs to advertisers?
Nothing is ever real
he does this shit all the time lol remember snoop lion? remember snoop quitting weed?
Snoop has always been extremely tactical in his decisions and statements. His image is carefully crafted and maintained and i agree with you 100%

Oh how about Uncle Tom playing Trump’s inauguration and this is all a publicity stunt to move passed that noise?
Fuck this bitch ass forever
Being black and LGBT is really hard, and if the black community doesn’t cancel him and maybe even listens, this is huge.
Oh come off it. Nobody in “the Black community” is listening to Calvin Broadus.
It’s hella weird to act like “the Black community” needs to learn to be less homophobic from this wack 🥷🏾. I need you to look at the white community making drag shows illegal, burning books about queer people, and firing Black women while you’re at it.
Americans have a problem with homophobia. Stop acting like Black people are singularly homophobic.
Bingo. This is literally playing life on insane difficulty. Anything that can help is a boon.
I just hope for yalls sake that he doesn’t go back on it
If he does it’s rinse and repeat. When it comes to individuals we can never give up on them.
People really need to cut people some slack. If this is genuine and I feel it is he’s learning. People are allowed to change.
Judge someone by not just their past but their potential.
Nah, trust but verify.
Calvin Broadus is 53 years old and was famous before the turn of century. He didn’t accidentally fall into Trump’s campaign celebrations and he decided on his own to complain about gay people for no reason. If he didn’t expect to catch push back for that then he can demonstrate a change, not just do a cameo and expect everyone to forget AAAALLL the shady shit he’s done over the years.
Judge someone like you got some sense, not like their latest PR campaign is the gospel truth.
So for the Trump thing. He’s rich and has been for decades. He wasn’t always rich. Sometimes we need reminders of where we came from. That’s exceedingly hard when everyone around you is highly likely to echo beliefs that may not resonate with how he was raised
For the LGBT thing… I’m speaking from experience, the black experience is not the white one. Gay is very much not cool even if they say it is.
Speak for yourself, buddy. Being Black and Gay is Cool As Fuck.
The Black Experience is not the white one, but I never said it was, so I’m not sure why you’re telling me what I already know.
Nothing you said suggests that we need to believe the latest press release is sincere. If Calvin wants to change his actions great. I’m just saying don’t get your hopes up about someone who has already blown through several redemption arcs.
I am happy you are in an environment where being black and gay is cool as fuck. That is not the norm and I’d argue lots of statistics back that up.
Regardless, back in the topic I think we both agree just you’re taking a pessimistic approach while I’m trying to be optimistic.
Our lived experiences certainly align and hope is so so important. I understand prime being suspicious, but we’ll have to see. Also, giving room to grow in one area doesn’t mean we think someone is perfect. And no one is perfect, there is always room for work on ourselves.
Judge someone by not just their past but their potential.
A dual edged sword. I would moderate that by saying whether they strive to work toward actualization of that potential, within the means available or presented to them.
That’s exactly it. We can’t know he’s genuine until he’s taken actions we can look at to compare
Amen.
Whatever his reasons for “going woke”, I prefer to see this route to the JK Rowling route.
Yeah, mixed feelings, it’s kind of like when massive corporations go pinkwashing. Sure, it’s better than the alternative, but they’re not your friend and you can’t trust them.
I hear he sucked Trump’s dick to play at the inauguration.
Many people are saying it
The best people
Everyone says it, Snoop sucked trump’s dick
And then he grabbed him by the pussy.
People here give Snoop so much hate yet majority of his music isn’t about being a stand up citizen, it’s always been about getting weed, money and the occasional shorty.
yeah we know his allegiance is to money, he performed at a trump inauguration party
What is a shorty ?
What’s a shorty with you?
Me and that shorty together ? a duet ?
So someone paid him to change his opinion? Not exactly news. Dude is a walking “for sale” sign.
Well, at least he eventually did the right thing in the end. A lot of people in the comments are still roasting him for potential being disingenuous, but I’ll give credit where it’s due - biting people’s heads off after they chose to do the right thing after (well deserved) backlash doesn’t send the correct message to others that it’s worth it to listen to negative feedback rather than dig in their heels deeper.
Welcome to lemmy. Nothing changes, and if something change then it’s false and if it isn’t then it’s too little too late. This site is so bloody hellbent on being downer collective that it’s slowly driving me away.
The end? Is he dead now? Was this some kind of death-bed confession or something? Did he at least donate his time to the cause that he got paid so much to tear down?
Oh, no, he’s just getting paid by someone new now. He doesn’t need credit, he cashed in just fine on MAGA and now he’d also like a check from the gays. The correct message is ‘Working for the nazis leaves a stain on your reputation that a compensated non-apology will not wash away’
Are you by any chance a battered spouse, eager to accept any insincerity?
I didn’t expect that, but good on him and glaad
Good on him for walking it back, but you have friends that are LGBT and you still felt comfortable saying that stuff? Snoop can get his bag elsewhere because I won’t support him again
meh knowing Snoop I’d take what he says with a grain of salt and see what sponsorships/deals he has coming up and if any are potentially backed or support the LGBTQ+ community
the mans opinions change based on where the cheques come from. If he did make this change in thought without any financial basis then good for him.
Bare minimum, still not as horrible as those sell outs like Ice T, Ice cube and especially Public Enemy
What did they do?
Wow good article thanks, added the RSS
There have long been extremely strong rumors that the CIA wrote and promoted the Scorpions’ hit song “Winds of Change” as regime change propaganda.
Dammit, that’s a jam too.
Wow. Just wow.
You realize this is the onion, right?
Except it’s literally not the onion
God damnit I bit an onion that wasn’t even there lol.
The source, A.V. Club, was founded as a sister company to The Onion, just not satirical. It was part of the same company until last year or so.
Well thanks for the benefit of the doubt. But I totally face planted and deserve it.
Either way, it’s maybe the perfect source to accidentally conflate with The Onion.
And the perfectly wrong community to do it lol
Such a beautiful, slow motion faceplant though, a 9 from the Russian judge.
Onions are pretty tasty 🤷♂️
Apparently lol. After his previous stances, I thought no way is it real. It’s like MTG fighting for the ACA. I was like, no fuckin way is this real. But 2025 yo. Everything is ridiculous, nothing is probable, everything is dangerous and wildly likely. Who fuckin knows at this point? I honestly wouldn’t be surprised by flying scorpions at this point. Like you keep assuming it can’t get worse but it always does. So fucking flying scorpions doesn’t sound that far fetched anymore.
Sign a strike card https://www.generalstrikeus.com/ and tell your friends, too.
P. S. Sorry, I reflexively posted this in my panicked desperation, but I don’t mean to hijack the thread like a bot. I think I’m just amped up for the protest today.
it seems MTG has a falling out with the rest of the gop for some time now, which is why shes fighting them now.
Nah she’s just opporunistic. She’s a populist above all.
lol covering his sexist ass for the sake of his profitability.
I lived long enough to watch gangsters turn into posers
Whenever I see Eminem im like “dude smile, you’re a 50 something billionaire, nobody thinks you’re hard”
That’s so true lol. My 10 year old daughter almost shit herself when I told her he’s literally a grandpa.
Most of them are “studio gangsters” who tell imaginary stories they just make up.
I lived long enough to watch gangsters turn into posers
Greed is a hell of a drug.
They were all just used and marketed by businessmen.
Are gangsters preferable? Doesn’t sound like either end of that spectrum is great, but I’d prefer my suburb be full of posers.
My gangster neighbors are cool people. Certainly better than your average neighbor.
But… What crimes do they do to qualify as gangster then?
🤷♀️ Not sure. None of my business.
As long as they are real gangsters.
A lot of people get confused with the tryhards that dress flashy and show everyone their money as if they are a Hollywood hip-hop celebrity.
They’re nothing like that; you’d think they’re just ordinary people at a glance.
They got their crip walk down and are really good at hand shakes?
Because THAT’S Hip Hop!
They could be hood.
Its authentic. Snoop came by the gangster lifestyle honestly, he grew up that way.
Changing your views to be more progressive, when you are person with a public image, may be disingenuous. I’m not going to form an opinion on his true motives, but plenty of people will.
Frankly, it’s the most “gangster” thing he’s done in a while. Most gangsters are bigots. It’s a low education background
Honestly in this political climate, I’ll take it. He could have easily taken a hard right turn
He played at Trumps inaugural Crypto Ball.
You can’t turn much farther right than that.
I’m just trying to imagine Trump watching a Snoop Dogg performance and wondering what fresh hell he’s be dropped into. Pretty far from Ava Maria.
Drumpf was probably wondering why Snoop wasn’t singing YMCA
In Bo Burnham voice: His $27 8-packs weren’t selling very well, those sorts of problems.and transphobia.
There is always something to critique, huh? I think it’s positive that he has changed his stance regarding LGBTQ+ and even made a children’s song spreading the message that love is love. We need more inclusion, acceptance and tolerance in this society.
If Snoop is smart enough to spread a positive message and earn money at the same time, then good for him. At least he is trying to spread positivity to the world.
All he saw was his bottom line dropping and backpedaled.
Did you forget the Trump event he played at? 😂
That’s not someone who has goodness in their heart. He’s an opportunist and business man who is more likely to end up heading events in Dubai with Dave Chappell over doing something meaningful to spite the oligarchs that are actively seeking to kill LGBTQ+ individuals.
Oh look, misogynist rap dude is an asshole. Big surprise.
a FAKE gangbanger too, acitng “HARD”
This dude will do and say anything to stay relevant for even a second longer. I don’t believe you you bitch ass chihuahua
he couldve stayed relevant longer if he dint shill for trump.
But he’s still a Trump supporter, right?
