speaking of racism...

..i was just watching that jay-z video, and there's one line where he says:

"used to drink cristal, but them fuckers racist"

and i wondered, "what did cristal do to jay-z?"

here's the story:

Rap mogul Shawn "Jay-Z" Carter has removed Cristal champagne from his New York nightclub 40/40 after the company's boss made "racist" comments about the wine's association with hip-hop.

Cristal managing director Frederic Rouzaud told The Economist magazine he was unimpressed the expensive beverage has become popular in rap circles.

Rouzaud said, "(It's) unwelcome attention. What can we do?

"We can't forbid people from buying it. I'm sure Dom Perignon or Krug would be delighted to have their business." (via)

  my god, that is RaCiSt!!!
