<font color='#000000'>its just that the blacks have been far more successful in marketing their particular style of music.

i think bama had a point however - if a mainstream white artist made a record calling for blacks to be killed there probably would be an uproar.

thats not to say i agree or disagree with the black hip hop style of music - i have to say i&#39;ve enjoyed much of it, just as i enjoy eminem very much.

its one of those grey areas - censorship is a difficult and often unpalatable path to tread&#33;</font>

<font color='#000000'>That&#39;s his point? &nbsp;That if a white mainstream artist made a recording calling for the killing of blacks, there&#39;d be an uproar. &nbsp;What kind of point is that? &nbsp;Big deal. &nbsp;People make an uproar for stuff like that and with good sense. &nbsp;Who needs &quot;mainstream&quot; shit like that?

Plenty of black folks make an uproar about gansta rap. &nbsp;If you haven&#39;t seen them you haven&#39;t been watching or maybe that&#39;s listening.

Also, as pointed out with the likes of David Allen Coe and others no one made an uproar in the past about those offensive white folks and still haven&#39;t.

I have no problem with offensive music or art. &nbsp;But if you think you can make or listen to this stuff and not raise a few eyebrows, you&#39;re out of it.

Whether people respond to offensive art is reflective of the current public interest in the matter. &nbsp;Sometimes you&#39;ll get a reaction and sometimes you won&#39;t. &nbsp;

The public&#39;s response to a subject like predjudice is based somewhat on their current experiences and in their perceptions of history. &nbsp;Like who&#39;s right or who&#39;s wrong or who&#39;s been suppressed and who&#39;s been the oppressor.</font>

<font color='#000000'>i wasn&#39;t commenting on whether his point was a big deal or not, just saying what his point was.

black hip hop and rap artist have been very successful at promoting their music - to whites as well as blacks. some people may complain about the tone or language, but on the whole, these records sell well with little protest.

i can&#39;t say i have heard many high-selling white artists whose lyrics talk of killing blacks, but thats not to say there aren&#39;t any. but i do agree that if a mainstream white singer brought out a record calling for all &#39;niggers&#39; to be killed, it would raise a far bigger outcry.

i&#39;m sure there are blacks and whites who don&#39;t like a lot of the gangsta rap &amp; hip hop music - ultimately everyone is different and one mans meat is another mans poison. if people don&#39;t like it it won&#39;t sell and then it won&#39;t get made - thats capitalism for ya.</font>

Exactly&#33; If you don&#39;t like the station, turn the dial, e.g. . <img src="http://www.webseth.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':)'></font>
