"Common saying AY-RAB again"


  

          

He said it on LWFC and I posted about how it was offensive.
I got no support. No one gave a shit.

I forgot about it and continued to have love for Common, and now I'm listening to Corners, loving it, getting excited as Hell, until I hear "Ay-rabs serving burgers"...

I feel like I got shot in back.
What the fuck am I supposed to do.
My favorite artist spitting anti-arab slurs and stereotypical shit.
