Wanna open your borders to an ass-load of brown people and see what they think of your remarkableness? 

Can we not do this please…Another pro canada tirade derailing a thread is so unnecessary.

I dunno man i dont get much. Ppl around me dont know what juggalos or icp are…the ones that do know when i bring them up their face lights up and they say “OH YEAH!! I remember them..” then like three days later they come back to me spitten a lyric or showing me a old wrestling clip. Some say “oh yeah theyre gay” wich i respond with a good old “suck my dick       “ (insert name).

Your response to them saying they are gay is asking someone to suck your dick.  Assuming 49 percent of the people are male you sir are affirming their perception that ICP and Juggalos are gay. 

Person “You like ICP they are gay”

You:  “suck my dick”

Person:  “You want me to suck your dick…hmm they’re gayness must be seeping into his bung hole”

I quoted this because I was going to add an explanation about how I dont like the term gay being used derogatorily…but it sounded preachy so I deleted it…in a sense [REDACTED]

It seems to me that most rap fans actually don’t outright hate icp. A lot of them just don’t like them and it’s fine to be like “this ain’t for me.”

A lot of rock fans fucking hate them though. Like, I guess because they have them lumped in their minds with bad rap/rock shit like limp bizkit and linkin park. I think there’s an element of racism (they’re sell outs to their race shit), classism (they are white trash shit) or ableism (they’re retarded shit) to it, too. I usually look at what people are saying about ICP and try to explain why what they are saying doesn’t hold up or is bigoted. They usually shut up about it pretty quickly.

Another thing I’ve done is, if it’s a post on tumblr, I reblog it and make slight changes to the text so that it looks like they’re complimenting ICP and juggalos and then a lot of juggalos reblog and like my reblog and that really irritates them. 

But it only ever happens online and it’s only ever rock and metal fans.

Stuff up there

this, more than anything else.  

works out this way most of the time, cuz i dont whoop in the face of every twit i run into.  fuck i care if some random shmoe knows that im a juggalo?  and if they do know, fuck i care if they have a problem?  not like theyre gonna do anything about it. 
  

I wear it on my sleeve everyone who works with me knows my taste in music and such…even at my new store…and I find the humor in all of it so I go back and forth with a few crew members I would label as hipsters if I still used that label.  

Really through the course of it they have garnered a whole new respect for something that lies deeply within my soul based not so much on the music but more the personal connections with people I consider my kin ive made through it.  When I did a donation to a homeless vet group a bit ago I had people on the clock who didn’t want to lend their vehicles to my cause because they were afraid of where we were going to be dropping stuff off (these are not nice vehicles either btw).  My brothers in OCJ came through with no prodding at all in a timely manner to assist me for no recompense.  Their willingness to help me humbled my coworkers and made them kinda think about how dumb it was to refuse to go as a group of a dozen to whatever part of town.  

 

Really there is rarely someone who finds out in a juggalo who doesn’t come approach me about it like im kidding…sometimes they even want to see my ink.  By the time we are done conversing they uniformly agree they have misjudged the group as a whole by the actions of the retarded…which I totally understand.

People just dont wanna help its not cuz ur a juggalo. Like remeber when i was strating up my juggalo cummunity service and u said it was stupid and would rather be a “vigilante”? Maybe ur coworkers felt the same way. Why go back and forth with them about it why care what they think? They dont even wanna help the homeless. And im glad ur giveing ppl such hudge revaltions just cuz ur a juggalo. Who i am is not only juggalo when the ppl around me find out im juggalo they know me on a personal level and dont need to question my intelligence idont need to explain i aint a fuxken gang member either, they know its just something i enjoy. Im not a bilbord or spokesman for the rest of youus guys. Every single person changing their opinions as a whole about juggalos just cuz they met you sounds pretty fantasy like. Maybe we should send all the haters to meet you.

Maybe it’s where I live but I have not met a Juggalo hater. It’s hard to even find Juggalos or even people who know what that is. I know they are here. I meet them at concerts but I never meet them “in the wild”.

@bayareashaman , I agree. It’s hard to find people who truly want to help their fellow man in any circumstance. Juggalo has nothing to do with it. “For everyone who wants to see you succeed, a hundred more want to see you bleed”

I feel it’s more important to focus on good natured people than to spend time convincing those who aren’t of something they will naturally take a defensive stance against. Most people want to feel right and not be contradicted. The best I can do is just be as good natured as I can and if someone sees it as something they want to incorporate, then I will always hope it works for them too.

U are right sir. U cant deal with defensiveness with being pushy or something. Like my pops always says ” lead with example pendejo”
