why does everyone want to be black lately?

yeah because anything and everything that has to do with hip-hop is a black thing.

Who do you think this product's target market is?

hip-hop is a culture, not a race.
Who the hell said it was a race? I don't see the word race used ANYWHERE. Hip-hop is associated primarily with the African-American culture. Are you opposing these guys because race was brought up and you want the first crack at being the holy one?

yet ... the majority of people in the US who buy Hip Hop / Rap music are suburbian white kids.

Any numbers to back that statement up?

I would definitely say that a lot of "suburbian white kids" buy rap/hip hop records. You can coult me as one of them, if you count a 28-year old who acts 19.

That being said, I would wager that African-American's buy more rap/hip hop records than white (or any other race) does.
 

Hip-hop condoms? Does that mean you get a baby's momma everytime you use one?

it was in a past Vibe magazine. it had an article about hip hop world wide .. the influences on other countries and such. tossed it. sorry. Im not white nor black but i buy rap albums in volumes. My brothers friend is an even more of a fiend.

though i have no facts, it's know than White American families have a higher income and more expendible income.

Because blacks can get away with EVERYTHING, using the excuse that if they don't get away with it, it's because they're black and everyone else is racist.

If that asinine statement were true then the prisons in this country wouldn't be full of blacks... are you going to throw OJ or Kobe in my face now? don't bother.

well.. kobe is not an example, but why not OJ? it's a perfectly good example. 1 bitch hung the jury, then they got an almost all black jury, and they found him fully innocent. why is that not a perfect example?

My statement was obviously an exaggeration of what happens on a smaller scale. Does that qualify as being Skoorbed?

i never said hip-hop is unique to black culture asshat. but it is the MOST common. to say race doesnt exist is ludicrous. but if it's mentioned, then the person is automatically a racist.

agh... you're dumb.

fine, OJ simpson: 1 black man gets away with murder, how is he an example of an ENTIRE RACE "getting away with EVERYTHING"? Would you like to argue that the outcome of the OJ case was the norm in this country? I hope not because you'd sound as ignorant as the joker who made the statement in the first place. Quote: "blacks can get away with EVERYTHING". OJ proves this in your eyes? Again, it was an asinine statement and the fact that you are defending it speaks volumes.

Actually lately it seems everyone wants to be Japanese, but I guess it depends on what you are looking for/background/surroundings.

But the argument is usually, the whites want to be black, the blacks want to be white, men wish they could be women, and women to be men.....everyone thinks the grass is always greener....

I get a lot of people asking if my wife has any JAPANESE friends they can date, as if any other of her single friends who are not Japanese are unworthy.

This one idiot actually asked her if it's true that all Japanese women are taught to be bi-sexual....I have no idea where that came from.

OK, then so you are saying that most "blacks" in this country that are brought to criminal court and guilty of crimes get off?

LOL.... you sir are either stupid or blind. stop posting "lifer".

Very well said.

I am neither black or white, but I'm into hip-hop culture.

Emerging are artists who are not black and I'm not talking about Eminem. RuffRyders even signed a Chinese artist, Jin Tha MC.

In Asia, especially Korea hip-hop culture is very prominent. Hip-hop is definately not just by black people or mainly purchased by suburban white kids.

Step outside your closed mind and outside the US, "blacks" are not common within hip-hop anymore.

Well said WobbleWobble. The emerging artists are indeed of other races. Look at Slug from Atmosphere. He is starting to get major national attention. There are a few local Asian artists that are up and coming here in AZ as well.

For the record, i guess, I'm a white guy. And 25 hardly makes me a 'suburban kid'.
