Kanye can say it; University of New Hampshire students can't sing along

“I ain’t saying she a gold digger,

But she ain’t messin’ with no broke n*****.”

It’s been 12 years since Kanye West hit #1 with “Gold Digger.”

The young women currently attending the University of New Hampshire were in grade school at the time, but apparently, they appreciate the classics.

Someone posted video of members of Alpha Phi sorority, singing and dancing along to the song, to the “All Eyes on UNH” Facebook page this week, complaining that the video of many white women using the n-word “is a showcase of ignorance.”

This Orwellian group aims to “expose injustice at UNH.” It has exposed its own intolerance for students having some fun.

1. I'm white

As far as I'm concerned if Kanye wants to use the word, it's not my business. That's an argument for black folks to have. It's their past, their pain, their history. Not my place to tell them what's right or wrong.

As for white college students singing a song, you can't tell what their intentions were by reading an article. It could be they're a bunch of privileged white girls with the sensitivity of dust, or they could be enjoying a genre of music that is popular. What I do know is articles like this are dog whistles to some white people of how we're so persecuted racially. Us poor wittow white people can't even have fun without being called racists. PFFT.

If these girls offended someone by singing the song they should just apologize and explain they enjoy this musician and will be singing his songs. You know...check themselves.
