Open post to T.I’s bitch ass apology

One sentence: Keep that shit.

A few sentences: You said what you meant and now you’re trying to apologize for it? I ain’t even tripping because you said it. I’m tripped out because you ain’t standing behind what you said.

The whole thang: Every other position, you said, you think a woman can do. But being president, being the leader of the free world? You can’t see it and won’t vote for it. “I just know that women make rash decisions emotionally – they make very permanent, cemented decisions – and then later, it’s kind of like it didn’t happen, or they didn’t mean for it to happen. And I sure would hate to just set off a nuke…[Other leaders] will not be able to negotiate the right kinds of foreign policy; the world ain’t ready yet.”

Before even going into all that, you said “not to be sexist, but…” Then you turned around something sexist, which then makes you a sexist. The other part that tripped me out was you saying that the world ain’t ready yet. The world wasn’t ready for slaves to be freed either. Wasn’t ready for women to vote or take up jobs outside the home. They were equally unprepared (or so they thought) for a black president. Why is this any different? After that you said you you think we have a better chance of getting the Loch Ness monster elected first.

And although you said you wouldn’t vote for Trump, you did say that you think he could benefit the country. Strong opinions right there. But like I said, they’re opinions, so I can shrug ’em off. It was one of those things that you’re grateful to have learned and keep it moving after that. You made your consumers more aware. ‘Preciate that.

THEN…you turned around and apologized for it.

My comments about women running for president were unequivocally insensitive and wrong. I sincerely apologize to everyone I offended.

Maybe in the time between the interview and your apology someone had enlightened you. Now that you’ve had time to think, maybe you’d actually like to recant your statement because you can now see a woman running for president. Or maybe you’re just apologizing because you realized it’s more women than men bumping your shit and you don’t wanna fuck that up for yourself. Then again, maybe your PR told you to do it?

Either way, what’s fucking hilarious to me is that earlier this year you were talking about your three-series album Paperwork. The next album of the series will be unapologetically gangsta. Unapologetic means with no regret. You’re saying what you have to say and whoever feels some kind of way about it will have to take that up with themselves. But now you’re apologizing for saying something that you meant and it’s putting me in the mind of Riley from Boondocks when he said…

“Game recognize game and you looking kinda unfamiliar right now.”
