black america buys rap culture
the images of blacks in the media has been perpetuated by white america for centuries. little white girls in the suburbs put money into the pockets of these execs and these execs thrive off the exploitation of black people. white america has ALWAYS benefited from the exploitation of blacks, centuries before rap music.
all of this isn't to alleviate responsibility from the black community, it's up to us to uplift ourselves and oppose this overwhelmingly white power structure. but what you dont realise is that white corporate america has absolute control over the public image of blacks, and when the government, education system, media, and history insists and maintains that youre sub-human you begin internalize that negativity.
theres a reason they try to kill all of our leaders across the map.
so until you wake up and live the life of a black person in shut the fuck up.
Well by your standards you dont know shit because you arn't american. Were discussing america and you are not american, so until you wake up an american shut the fuck up.
Also by your standards you are not white so therefore you dont have a "valid opinion" on white culture.
youre dumb, america consists of not just the united states but canada as well. race is a serious issue relevant to all euro-american imperialist states. i don't know exactly how it is to be black in the united states but i guarantee there are far more similarities than differences. racial profiling is very much alive here, we are under represented in canadian media and politics (definately more so than in the US), and we have similar issues of community violence. the images of black people on television and radio are the exact same images you have in the US; the images of blacks perpetuated by the media work to justify the mistreatment of black people globally. Like i had mentioned earlier, one of the key differences is that the Canadian issue of race is often suppressed-a notable history of slavery, mistreatment of minorities, and subjugation of native people has gone largely unnoticed by canadian society.
also, i don't claim to have any understanding of white culture, but the activities of corporate culture are transparent as fuck, and if you deny that american corporate powers aren't white power structures than you're as ignorant as skatetroll.
im not saying that dialogue between whites and blacks shouldn't be pursued-whites and blacks should work together on these issues (the global community as well). im just saying that white people and black people need to be a little more introspective when dealing with race and consider what we can in for our respective cultures to curb racial prejudice and promote fairness and equality.
with the issue of rednecks; i grew up in a suburb just outside of toronto and ill say that the whole place was overrun by rednecks. i had a high school friend who had moved to canada from Mississippi, he had lived in calgary for a few years and claimed that he felt more racial tension there than when he lived in the south. white people make up the overwhelming majority of canada, especially outside of the big cities. honestly, i avoid going to small towns, i usually stick to the GTA and MTL.
