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?

Being black and LGBT is really hard, and if the black community doesn't cancel him and maybe even listens, this is huge.

[-] whoisearth@lemmy.ca 9 points 2 weeks ago

Bingo. This is literally playing life on insane difficulty. Anything that can help is a boon.

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.

[-] Maeve@kbin.earth 8 points 2 weeks ago

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.

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.

FUCK SNOOP FOREVER FOR PLAYING TRUMP’S INAUGURATION

Oh he’s not a bigot anymore? Cool thanks for telling us Uncle Tom

Anyone who has shilled for the fascist regime needs to do a lot of work to regain any kind of respect. If he's not going to use his platform to unapologetically oppose Trump then he deserves none.

[-] prole 14 points 2 weeks ago

This is the kind of criticism I can get behind. Good on him for changing his view on this, but everything else is still problematic.

[-] WhatGodIsMadeOf@feddit.org 71 points 2 weeks ago

I hear he sucked Trump's dick to play at the inauguration.

[-] LongboardingLad@lemmy.world 67 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago)

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

[-] rozodru@piefed.social 15 points 2 weeks ago

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.

[-] Bloomcole@lemmy.world 8 points 2 weeks ago

Bare minimum, still not as horrible as those sell outs like Ice T, Ice cube and especially Public Enemy

[-] SkunkWorkz@lemmy.world 13 points 2 weeks ago

Same with Dre and Ice Cube. Like in how many movies did Cube play a cop.

[-] discosnails@lemmy.wtf 17 points 2 weeks ago

Snoop is a little bitch. Soft and stupid.

[-] P00ptart@lemmy.world 10 points 2 weeks ago

Martha is more gangster than snoop.

[-] kepix@lemmy.world 16 points 2 weeks ago

he got paid to say both of the thing. he couldnt care less about gay people.

[-] BigBenis@lemmy.world 16 points 2 weeks ago

This guy, man. Every other week it seems there's a reason for the Internet to do a 180 on their collective opinion of him. In this case, credit is due. We could all have more humility as a society.

[-] ImADifferentBird 10 points 2 weeks ago

Now he just needs to apologize for playing an event at Trump's inauguration.

[-] carlossurf@lemmy.ca 13 points 2 weeks ago

Do people just turn into dicks when they get older or was he always like this

[-] Phegan@lemmy.world 14 points 2 weeks ago

Older, sometimes. Richer 100% of the time.

[-] prole 9 points 2 weeks ago

If anything, Snoop has become less of a dick as he has gotten older...

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.

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.

I don't buy it tbh.

[-] devolution@lemmy.world 11 points 2 weeks ago

I'm old enough to have watched gangsta rap turn into glitter rap. Dawg, you sold out. Just own it.

Trump has some competition for that Nobel peace prize now

[-] Inaminate_Carbon_Rod@lemmy.world 8 points 2 weeks ago

Still can’t believe he sold his soul to Trump.
