white guilt is ridiculous. we can all stop pretending to like hip hop. admit that it's stupid and you can't dance to it
I don't know I think most people actually do in fact like rap for the same reason everyone loved disco and everyone loved hair metal despite hair metal becoming a bigger joke then rap by the late 80's, most people don't actually care about music, they just want something they can sing to and dance, and rapping is quite fun. I don't listen to much rap but those I do I still have much love for, this is still one of my favorite musicians of the past 30 years: Boy you should've known by now, Eazy duz it
you are merely forgetting the reason all these things are available for the African Americans. WE UH. KINDA ENSLAVED THEM. "Black History Month" is important to America's history, along with what wars were soon to come, like the Civil War. (Southern states wanted to expand slavery westward into Mexico, north said no wai). Why the hell would we make "White History Month" ?? That makes no sense... I just can't believe you're not applying any knowledge you have into the fact that blacks deserve these titles and leisure.
I personal have never owned a plantation with slaves and looking back on my family tree mostly all have come through Ellis Island to America. The word racism in my mind equals ignorance. Slavery started long before America was even founded. It had more to do with social classes (your rank in society). I think fear drives people more then even simple common scents.
actually, uh, kinda noone who was a slave or slaveowner is alive today so uh, you're kind of a racist for drawing parallels between black people who are alive today and those who were around in the 1800's. i'm not saying there's anything wrong with bet and all that. i really don't give a shit. and whenever i go to oktoberfest or a celtic festival it's essentially the same thing as white pride day, and noone accuses me of being a racist for going. so whatever. everything is fine like it is but i wish people would shut up about slavery. treat everyone like an adult who is responsible for themselves and their own actions. you don't know how many blacks i've talked to (and the town i live in is heavily so, what about yours?) who make fun of pandering white people and get tired of the bullshit.
