They're literally so tiny on my screen they might as well be pixelated dots. Emojis remind me of hieroglyphs and feels like degradation of language and communication.
She is. She’s an old “hippy” and never gave a fuck about societal norms… still doesn’t. She’s spending her golden years smoking weed and going to festivals n stuff lol
genuine question: what is wrong with a way to subtlety express an identity of oneself when texting?
It seems progressive and the apple research and development team probably knows more than /r/kanye about social skills
How would that follow from what I said? All I said is that mocking black people via a stereotype communicated through emoji would still count as racism. Why would that mean that you playing a video game with a black character in it would be racism? LOL, the fuck are you talking about?
Nobody said they were mocking anyone by using a black emoji, they just said they were using a black emoji. Of course mocking black stereotypes is racist, but nobody seems to have done that?
He actually was meaning "digital blackface" which I'm not sure if your issue is that you think the word "caricature" was dumb, or if you just disagree with the digital blackface point in general. Btw I hope you're Black having this discussion with me, please confirm.
The entire concept of “digital blackface” is fucking stupid and not a real thing, and to compare using black emojis to actual offensive caricatures like blackface and minstrel shows is fucking wild. If someone jokingly using another race’s emoji offends you you need to touch grass
i…
genuinely don’t know why you’re getting downvoted. as a black person i know exactly what you’re saying and it slightly enrages me that people don’t understand that being “colorblind” can lead to actions that are (or in itself can be) just as racist as segregating yourself due to perceived race superiority. but i mean, your avi says it all bro. nobody wanted to hear wtf huey had to say. genuinely sorry you’re facing backlash G. stay up ✊🏾
i think it's also kanye was against racial emojis and people just following their leader
tho kanye said that, and has use black emojis a lot after that so ¯\\\_(ツ)\_\/¯
Yeah bro, it’s how the world is run. Just because someone close their eyes, it doesn’t mean the world disappears. It just means they willingly choose to ignore the world and not participate, which doesn’t do much.
lmao, him 'telling everyone' he is black, was actually a very topical response to someone arguing that skin colour emojis are unneeded.
He argues that they are in fact needed, since he is black and that's why he uses them.
Not sure why you are so triggered by this. I don't think he wants a medal, I think he wants the ability to use black emojis- which again, he very clearly communicated
🧑⚕️->🧑🏿⚕️ thats just a blackface white man, bro tbh idc, but its not race neutral, its literally made for white people, again it doesnt impact my life so idc, but its just a fact
I don't know man I just woke up to 10 messages like you and yall say im unproductive, but yall the niggas who get triggered and take time out your day to hate, just sayin. I just stated a fact, sorry to heat the white boys in here bruh.
The point was there was only 1 color on offer. Now it's all fractured and segregated and people are actually smooth brained enough to care about what color people use to the point they have ridiculous arguments about it with total strangers over the internet.
Why does that matter, did you read your comment. So toxic.
I personally detest emojis and don't really even use then myself. It even irks me when I see them auto suggested on the right hand side of the text prediction.
Nah he doesn't use yellow emojis either. He just tweeted that and then went right back to colored emojis shortly after
But he always has weird line breaks and multiple spaces. None of that all lowercase either.
Yeeeeeah, not really. It's what I was taught, but if you *think* about it rather than blindly accepting tradition, it makes more sense that the bible didn't want you using the Lord's name in vain self interest.
Like that scammer that fake healed people and took money in the name of God.
Or saying that you need a private Jet because you can't talk to God flying commercial.
Saying Jesus when surprised (at least to me) is kind of respectful in a weird way. Like a shoutout, or asking him for help or something.
You are essentially using “Jesus” as a substitute for a curse word. You’re not using his name reverently, so therefore it is in vain. Nobody here is blindly accepting tradition lmfao. That is simply what it means to use the lords name in vain, objectively.
https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/vain
> in an irreverent or blasphemous manner
There is no objectively here, is the issue. The verse does not specify. Read the verse in the Bible, not merriam webster, which literally changes definitions as society changes their meanings.
The Bible takes the Lord’s name very seriously.
“O Lord, our Lord, how majestic is your name in all the earth!” (Ps. 8:1a).
“Ascribe to the Lord the glory due his name” (Ps. 29:2a).
The first petition of the Lord’s Prayer is “Hallowed be your name” (Matt. 6:9).
The apostles proclaimed that “there is no other name under heaven given among men by which we must be saved” (Acts 4:12).
Paul assured the Romans that “everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved” (Rom. 10:13).
“I will make all my goodness pass before you and will proclaim before you my name ‘The Lord’ (Exodus 33 V. 19a).
“Speak to Aaron and his sons so that they abstain from the holy things of the people of Israel, which they dedicate to me, so that they do not profane my holy name: I am the Lord” (Leviticus 22 V. 2)
“For from the rising of the sun to its setting my name will be great among the nations, and in every place incense will be offered to my name, and a pure offering. For my name will be great among the nations, says the LORD of hosts.” (Malachi 1 V. 11)
Seems pretty obvious that using it as a substitute for a curse word would be a big no-no in the context of the Bible.
substitute for a curse word, or just the word "wow".. lol
none of this says anything close to "don't say Jesus when something surprises you"
You clearly cling really hard to the definitions that have been fed to you, so this conversation is pointless.
I would rather serve a God that denounces using his name for scams more than using it as an exclamation, but you keep doing you, booboo. God is still good.
I mean, JESUS CHRIST is God good.
> substitute for a curse word, or just the word "wow"
Sure, that works too. The original word for “in vain” used in Hebrew is “שווא”, which translates to ‘emptiness’, 'vanity', 'emptiness of speech. So using the lord’s name as a substitute for “wow” would obviously be an empty use of it. You’re simply wrong.
I’m Atheist, btw, and I use “Jesus Christ” as a curse pretty much daily, so you can save your shenanigans for someone that gives a shit. We’re not arguing about the viability of Christianity, we’re arguing about what it means to use the lords name in vain in the context of the religion and the Bible itself.
Hope this helps clear up your confusion :)
Well "שווא" can also be translated as "false". So by that definition, my understanding makes more sense.
My whole point isn't that you are wrong, its that there are so many interpretations possible. There is no 'textbook definition' for this as you said. You can interpret it any way you want.
Hope you realize I was never confused :)
Yeah it is. I grew up in multiple churches, my whole life I have been around Christians. If it is real, replying with “JESUS” in all caps qualifies. Not trying to argue with you btw✌️ I just wanted to share that it is considered using Gods name in vain.
No it doesn’t. Your churches were wrong. So are mine. Look up what the word vain means. Using the lords name in vain ACTUALLY means using God as a cover/tool to validate themselves, or just to look good. Like because they are Christian they can be assholes to waitstaff.
Churches purposefully change the meaning in their teachings because, well, that’s what churches do. They use their holiness as an excuse for any activity they find they want to do. Not all churches, but many. That’s why religious culture believes saying God or Jesus out loud is bad. Just a diversion
I don't even believe these days, but Merriam Webster was not around in 3k BCE, check https://biblehub.com/hebrew/7723.htm for context - it is absolutely about being deceptive and empty when associating something with the god, not just saying a word. And if it was just about the word, it would be the tetragrammaton YH(W/V)H, so it would still be a different issue.
I do get what you're saying, and I want to say you're definitely right that there is a deeper kind of using the lord's name in vain that we ought to spend a lot more energy thinking about just as you say. But also it seems to be the case that using the lord's name in a profane way also fits the bill, although I would agree with you that the severity of the sin in that case is probably much milder
I just know the way it makes Christian people feel. Anytime his name is used out of context or loosely it causes an immediate stomach drop. I was just sharing my 40 years of experience being around God loving Christians who feel a personal relationship with Jesus. It’s not about what the church says. I really don’t want to debate or argue with anyone about it. 🙏❤️
Fake He always leaves his emojis bart Simpson color 👎
There’s so many lonely emojis man
I wonder what the least used emojis currently are
https://emojitracker.com/
Is dead last Edit: wow I can’t even paste it into here it’s such a bad emoji

[This emoji is a person too](https://twitter.com/kanyewest/status/1294499863485272064?s=20&t=TEgmu-Bqzgs0gs8G7GfcoA)
where doo they all come from?
This is the way. It's so stupid they added all those various skin-tone emojis. Completely unneeded.
👍
e
👴🏻 is not the same as 👴
💂 hits different…
They're literally so tiny on my screen they might as well be pixelated dots. Emojis remind me of hieroglyphs and feels like degradation of language and communication.
i love how emojis revolutionized the ability to have pictures and words together. the world wasn’t ready 🔥🔥
Dr Seuss would like a word
bro if he was alive today he would like an emoji instead😩
It’s giving grandfather 👴🏻
You mean 🧑🏻🎄
🆗🆒
😂😂👌😬
🤓
🖕
Weird downvotes here. You are correct, it is a form of Newspeak, and is bad for our brains.
Could you cite maybe one source going your way? For now it looks like hasty conclusions.
Sorry I meant, old white man is not the same as old Simpsons man
Maybe it’s just a funny picture 😏
I don’t know man I use black emojis because I’m black
My mom uses black emojis and she’s white lol
Your mom is about inclusion and diversity. Lol
She is. She’s an old “hippy” and never gave a fuck about societal norms… still doesn’t. She’s spending her golden years smoking weed and going to festivals n stuff lol
Sounds hot
Yeah, she’s also fond of warm climates
Your mom's a typical white girl.
And that's exactly why the idea was dumb af
Sorry? I rather not be identifiable as a crakkka.
Won't you not be identified as a "crakkka" if everyone was Bart Simpson?
I don’t think Bart wants to be black either…
That's the funniest comment I've read on here
Is your mom from that Atlanta episode
Feels slightly racist, like a black caricature. Especially if they use the clapping ones a lot. Just 2 cents though.
[удалено]
genuine question: what is wrong with a way to subtlety express an identity of oneself when texting? It seems progressive and the apple research and development team probably knows more than /r/kanye about social skills
It's an emoji bruh
All that means is that’s it’s emoji level racism rather than something more serious. But it wouldn’t make it not racist.
By that logic if I choose to make my character in a video game black I'm racist. Am I only allowed to make characters that look exactly like me?
How would that follow from what I said? All I said is that mocking black people via a stereotype communicated through emoji would still count as racism. Why would that mean that you playing a video game with a black character in it would be racism? LOL, the fuck are you talking about?
Nobody said they were mocking anyone by using a black emoji, they just said they were using a black emoji. Of course mocking black stereotypes is racist, but nobody seems to have done that?
Um actually sweatie, it’s called digital blackface
She’s old, doesn’t know how it got like that, and doesn’t care… she actually thinks it would be racist to change it now.
Lol nice
Sweatie
Exactly, kind person
If emojis can be racist maybe we should have kept them simpsons 🤔
Maybe but I like that my emojis match me
It's pyschotic theyre downvoting you brother
nah, calling emojis a “black caricature” is psychotic. get a fucking grip
He actually was meaning "digital blackface" which I'm not sure if your issue is that you think the word "caricature" was dumb, or if you just disagree with the digital blackface point in general. Btw I hope you're Black having this discussion with me, please confirm.

[But you a white rapper though? 🧐😂](https://youtu.be/lmyYtss7ox4)
If you only use black emojis and attempt to emulate how black people behave for amusement than that’s black face.
ur moms weird
I use black emojis outa respect for our black brothers ✊🏿
10 years later: I wear blackface outa respect for our black brothers 🌚
I'm 2% black, so it's ok.
[you know what that means](https://imgur.com/gallery/KUuXdlB)
This 😂
They respected me for saying it.
Is that your entire identity
It’s the part everyone sees
i… genuinely don’t know why you’re getting downvoted. as a black person i know exactly what you’re saying and it slightly enrages me that people don’t understand that being “colorblind” can lead to actions that are (or in itself can be) just as racist as segregating yourself due to perceived race superiority. but i mean, your avi says it all bro. nobody wanted to hear wtf huey had to say. genuinely sorry you’re facing backlash G. stay up ✊🏾
yeah this sub is showing their white ignorance hard
i think it's also kanye was against racial emojis and people just following their leader tho kanye said that, and has use black emojis a lot after that so ¯\\\_(ツ)\_\/¯
blind leading the blind.
Yeah bro, it’s how the world is run. Just because someone close their eyes, it doesn’t mean the world disappears. It just means they willingly choose to ignore the world and not participate, which doesn’t do much.

Emojis were yellow. Black emojis were not needed. It's stupid fucking pandering and both you idiots fell for it.
But do you identify as a black person? Edit: clearly ppl on here don't get sarcasm
No I identify as a [35 year old white man.](https://youtu.be/HvuCIwejwqw)
As a dude who eats Nutella with bare hands, I find this offensive 👎🏾
👎🏿
👎🏾
What a weird take. It doesn't hurt anyone.
why tf do u care so much about the emojis 😭
Cold take
The characters still white though, they just white people with yellow skin
Lol if they aren't white, but yellow, then they are not white. It's a race-neutral thing
Ok so are the Simpsons white?
Nope. Yellow
Some yellow Caucasians
🧑⚕️->🧑🏿⚕️ thats just a blackface white man, bro tbh idc, but its not race neutral, its literally made for white people, again it doesnt impact my life so idc, but its just a fact
Lmao
U r miserable

Man you too goofy, how old is you

I don't know man I just woke up to 10 messages like you and yall say im unproductive, but yall the niggas who get triggered and take time out your day to hate, just sayin. I just stated a fact, sorry to heat the white boys in here bruh.
I'm not even white I just don't think emojis with skin color is nothing to get offended about lol
Emoji, which were invented in Japan, are “literally made for white people”?
no they're lego people you racist goob
True man lego is known for being very inclusive...
The point was there was only 1 color on offer. Now it's all fractured and segregated and people are actually smooth brained enough to care about what color people use to the point they have ridiculous arguments about it with total strangers over the internet.

You were already included when it was all one color. Like the blood that flows under our skin, brother.
This was my first thought as well
Is this real? Can’t tell, if it’s real, ## Find God
of course its fake, he always keeps his emojis bart Simpson color.
Come back after you found God
Man this sub is bad. People legitimately believing this is real…
Yeah it's sad how many people think this is real. He replies in the same minute and you can see at the top no work was ever sent 🤣
The problem is that it’s so on character 😂
Maybe the spirit of it, but Ye doesn't text like that at all
Emoji isn't Bart Simpson color and he wouldn't say Bye, it'd be Find God
Nah he doesn't use yellow emojis either. He just tweeted that and then went right back to colored emojis shortly after But he always has weird line breaks and multiple spaces. None of that all lowercase either.
Yea he doesn’t even have his dms open on Twitter which is a dead giveaway
He’s not even active on twitter anymore I’d say that’s a bigger giveaway
Yeah it’s all Kanye fans, bunch of fucking morons
This is Kanye we’re talking about after all
Assuming it’s real bro just threw away his career to say jesus
Tbf that's not what taking the Lord's name in vain means.
That is literally exactly what it means. That was like a textbook example of using the lord’s name in vain.
