Snoop Dogg interview 'creepy'VIDEO
It's uncomfortable to watch.
During a TV interview a man stops to comment on how "thick" he finds the CBC camera operator.
"I like your camera girl, too. She's thick. Damn."
(For those unfamiliar with the world of Urban Dictionary, thick translates to "nice ass, nice legs." A girl who has "meat on her bones in all the right places."
"I wasn't even looking down. Now I'm forced to look down at the camera," he continues. "Look at the **** on that quitter."
His entourage, mainly men, erupt in laughter.
Trying to brush it off, the reporter — also female — tries to continue with the interview.

If it was a politician using that language people would be demanding an apology faster than you can say Gloria Steinem three times fast.
It was Snoop Dogg.
Do you feel different about it?
Free pass
"It was creepy and awkward but I just laughed it off. Then later on I realized, why does he get a free pass because he's a rapper?" said the CBC's Stephanie Clattenburg, the woman behind the camera.
Reporter Elizabeth McMillan said: "It was uncomfortable. In retrospect I wish I handled it differently. But it felt like a no-win situation. So I just gritted my teeth and tried to get through."
McMillan interviewed the rapper in Truro. Snoop was in town, filming episodes for the Trailer Park Boys's 10th season. The show has also booked special guest appearances from actor Tom Arnold, comic Doug Benson and talk show host Jimmy Kimmel.

When the video was brought up, some people in this newsroom weren't bothered by it:
It's different, they said.
He's a rapper. It's expected.
"I think the stance that some people take about things like this just being a joke have to realize that it's OK to joke and it's OK to compliment women but you can do those things in a way that's not belittling," said Clattenburg.
If you watch the Snoop Dogg video, you'll see a power dynamic at play. A male celebrity, surrounded by his crew, making the two women blush, laughing at their embarrassment.
Clattenburg and McMillan didn't say anything, they just wanted to do their jobs.
Because that's what women are trained to do.
Blush. Shrug it off. Carry on. Repeat.
Double standards
One of the best parts of being in this business is the chance to talk to different people every day. We cover the legislature, tragedies, royal births and even rap stars filming in small town Nova Scotia.
CityNews reporter Shauna Hunt was confronted by soccer fans in Toronto who shouted a vulgar trend at her on camera. (CityNews)
How is it that some people tolerate misogyny from one group, but not another?
We watched a national furor break out when soccer fans yelled "F--k her right in the p---y" at a CityNews reporter. She fought back, opening the door for more reporters to share their stories.
Every female reporter in the CBC Halifax bureauhas had that sentence hurled at them. Every one.
Certain sources shouldn't get a free pass.
As Clattenburg said: "Just because I expect it doesn't mean I have to accept it."
Yawn
The liberals will do everything in their power to avoid talking about it, tbh. Bunch of cowards and hypocrites.
Unintelligent insecure coon dog has low respect for women.
Yawn.
You interview a notorious front running dope head who raps about s and drugs and you expect him to be a gentleman? lol.. go to prison and complain about how those interviews go.
The problem with rappers isn't the rapper, it's that media puts them in awkward places like Disney cartoons and .
And he didn't say "quitter" he said "look at the ter on that critter" which is an old saying.
By giving her a compliment?
So I meet your wife or your mother and tell her he has a nice ass and able s. Does that seem disrespectful now?By giving her a compliment?
He didn't say that though. He said thick. In this case it's a compliment. However, Calling someone thick Doesn't necessarily mean you wanna em. Some women refer to themselves as thick, but are fat as . Like San Antonio chicks. It's about context

So ya walk around in a pig farm then complain when ya step in some pig .
Think, you'll get it.
Is that what you told those ladyboys in Olongapo after a session?
Elevate your game got, it's..zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz.
Unintelligent insecure coon dog who has low respect for women gets a sensitive modern day feminist to complain about something per the usual.
Yawn
So if I said to your wife "damn girl you thick, look at the ter on that critter" and all my friends giggled as she blushed, would you let me get my stick wet or would you try to kung fu me?
I wouldn't deck you for what you say. I would do it if you persisted at it after knowing what the deal is, and then for approaching at all in front of me. (Though that's not what happened in the article is it? Did she tell snoop she was married?) If she says nothing the whole time then she's getting dropped.
I can't believe people still want to interview Snoop Dog.
Damn, this SJW is god damn out of control.. ing feminists are marching across Long Beach as we speak, because Snoop said a woman was thick. This is utterly stupid.
America is dividing themselves into very distinct groups over dumb .. gots..feminists..victimized coons.. the country has never been weaker, and the real threat is gonna waltz right in and overthrow the Government soon enough.
Snoop Dogg has one of the strangest career arcs in the history of entertainment, tbh..
- Banger
- Up and coming rapper
- Charged with murder
- Huge in the rap game, not necessarily in the mainstream
- Pimp image, involved in porn, usual rap
- Loveable weedhead that does comedy skits with White people using "izzle" in the early 2000s
- Becomes hugely mainstream and does crossover songs
- Washed-up, old man that does anything he can nowadays
By crossover songs, are you referring to the reggae ? What the was this fool thinking smh..
People that grew up in the 90's
[listening or just hearing his music] are now 30-40 years old. Many think they are some culturally enriched individuals because "they are down with the urban lifestyle"
These individuals are propping him up while glossing over the fact he is a racist. I even heard his song on Sportscenter tonight. When should I expect Hank Williams Jr music to also be played?
It's a classic double standard in Western Society for minorities. One of main reasons why Western Civ and with it White society is declining.
Kim Kardashian has ass implants, lip injections put in to look more thick, with a reality show because of it, she gets praised by these es. But goddamn if a man calls someone thick.
Blacks will have some representation. Would you prefer some Harvard grad with sound family values? How would that make you look? Media wants to keep spotlighting the stereotypical black male, ignoring the fringe pigeon hole escapees.
Hank Williams Jr is a racist and phobe who publicly accused Obama of loving gays and being Muslim. That's why you won't hear his music on Espn.
