Why is it that rappers like Eminem and and R&B artists like Justin Bieber get to call us N*ggers and get a free pass? This ain't cool. They crossing the line. Rap/Hip Hop defines Black male masculinity. And when one calls us a N*gger and don't get checked or worst yet disrespects our Women (like Eminem) it degrades Black American manhood because we can't stand up for ourselves (for fear of backlash) and say that's not right. That's not cool. Kick this guy out of our Community. But that will not happen because we have no political structure or leadership despite having a Black President.
I know popular Black artists can't stand up for our Civil Rights because the financial backlash would be enormous and devastating. But White Rappers and similar artists don't have that limitation. Eminem advocating for Detroit would be a Godsend. But I'm not going to hold my breathe.

I thought Em just called black females stupid monkies and not ? , but I see what you're saying.
But ok what are you really going to do about ut?
We already have at least 15 posters who randomly bring up racism every chance they get gimmick on this board.
I'm pretty sure that's not changing the game, so what are you gonna do outside of posting what we already know on here? -
? them crackaz . Idont get why black people support feminem

This isn't a hip hop problem at all. Blacks in different forms of entertainment does this.
-
More importantly it sends a message to white ppl they can steal our culture, call us "? " and do so with absolutely no consequence. Matter fact, you'll even have a number black folks support you after it.
Yet if another black man says ? and catches heat, these same black folks supporting Beiber are nowhere to be found. Smfh -

Or I'll do you one better......When Mac Mane punched that ? in the nose, did Justin Bieber come to his defense? When Wayne made that Emmit Till reference did Bieber tell the world Wayne made a "mistake" and to forgive him? Absolutely not. Black entertainers get NO SUPPORT from white celebrities but rush to a white celebs rescue, even after he calls your whole race of ppl "? , ? , ? ". Mayweather's a ? ? , lost a lot of respect him too -
yeah I understand that it's a business. There are more white people in the world so from a business perspective i see why they put a white face on Hip Hop and R&B because it sells more but don't put it on Urban radio and make it seem like it's real Hip Hop take it to the pop charts.
These white rappers have hot production and beats but for the most part they can't rap, their flow is weak and/or broken, and they mimic well known rappers with a distinct flow or style. White people are Columbusing Rap music just like they did America and Ancient Egypt.
These white rappers are being pimped out by a few in the music industry all I'm saying is that they should move that doh and ? them in the direction of Detroit and Chicago to help out our Communities out a little bit because handing out Turkeys and toys at Christmas time is not good enough. -
All of these examples came out and apologized. Where's the double standard?

when black people learn that outsiders are to be treated as such this villainy will stop

Not good enough. He talked about killing people with chainsaws and all he says is I'm sorry? Not good enough. They say Blacks are lazy when it's really the Whites. The only thing White people do is copy and claim other people cultures for themselves.
Say what you will about Blacks and some of it might be true but I think that seeing how poverty stricken Blacks birthed and mastered Hip Hop (which require commanding oratory skills) speaks volumes about our innate skill level.
Socrates says that this ability is comes from the soul.

One feature of the dialogue is Socrates' use of one of Meno's slaves to demonstrate his idea of anamnesis, that certain knowledge is innate and "recollected" by the soul through proper inquiry.

Whats this ? about "our culture" who the ? do you think is buying the majority of these rap albums? It's not about race anymore its about MONEY, the reason em and beiber get a pass is because they are rich not because of race, who is gonna check them? some street thug? they have security to stop them getting hurt.

U can't buy culture.

Our culture is deeper than rap...
but thats another story
I blame it on the ? .. who forge these frivolous relationships and makeit comfortable for them to kick they feet up in .."Our house so to speak"
-
I remember there were a number of rappers that came out and protested after the Eminem tapes leaked. Ironically, most of Slaughterhouse were those saying that Em needs to be checked, and can't run his mouth. A few years later, and they're screaming Shady.
Money over morals and integrity.

Money talks and ? walks. That's why black economic responsibility is of the utmost importance.
When you get a chance watch a lecture called "Powernomics" by Claude Anderson. I've had it linked on my wall for over a year. -
Rick Ross was calling Mac Miller "my ? " on a song they did together the other day .. I was like word...

At the end of the day it's in us for not checking them, and making acceptable by calling them ? also. Like wheredeydodatat

socrates and plato were craccers, y quote them and in the same sentence say white ppl aint ? ? -
does it matter if they advocate for the community?
how about they just dont use the ? word.....
why is this a word they must use is the real question.
its millions of words but this word must be used or THEY need an explanation of why they cant use it. then want to test the limits of using it.
why?
its not us that give the word power..its white people...becuase they seem to feel it has to be in there vocabulary -

White people have been in Hip Hop since the beginning and yet there are very few if at all really good White Rappers/Hip Hop artists.
Maybe the Hip Hop community should stop trying to get a White rapper to save Hip Hop and look for Black kids in Asia, Europe, and other places in the World to add diversity and a 'newness' to the genre.
Like Socrates said- Black people just have an innate ability that can't be taught. It comes from the soul.
