    It would be tough for two people of different races to have "monoracial" children together.

    If a child doesn't inherit the most obvious visual traits from one of the parents, is the child suddenly monoracial? What if a boy only inherited his black dad's enormous penis, and nothing else?

    And biracial children. Don't forget.

    Let's get back to the original topic now, shall we?

    The reason why De Blasio used this song was because it tied in with his message about a wealthy few and a struggling majority.
    Is that your final answer?

    Right but that doesn't necessarily warrant the need for a 2nd topic about the same song made within a month of the first one being posted.

    If anything, you should've just tacked that tidbit on to the 1st post. I believe you've done that several times in other threads you've made.

    (Sorry, not trying to back door mod or be antagonistic)

    This is still the same thread.

    Oh, I just recently found out in my sociological theory class that there is a formal term for the trend that Lorde dissed in this song, and that term is conspicuous consumption. The term was coined by sociologist Thorstein Veblen in his 1899 book The Theory of the Leisure Class: An Economic Study in the Evolution of Institutions, which refers to spending large amounts of money for "flashy" materialistic possessions in order to display wealth, economic status, and power. Many artists in their music videos and lyrics tend to engage in conspicuous consumption, which was the point of the song.

    Conspicuous consumption - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
    Is that your final answer?
