The grill and the tilted brim say so, right?
I digress.
You're single view is only part of the equation. Most black folks could care less what a single white person thinks, as long as it's not a person in power, with control over black folks lives in some way.Lt.

I'm white but I find the 'n' word very offensive ..... as a musician some of my best friends are black and as a piano tuner a majority of my customers were black and they were my friends with absolutely no reservations or behind their back remarks.
I'm not too familiar with Laffy Taffy or that other tune mentioned, but realize music in Ameica thrives on sales to white folks. Many white folks tend to be entertained by black hardship... violence, ignorance, pain & suffering, ect. It's a way for whites to experience it without having to live it.Lt. Bob said:I'm not stupid so I suppose it must exist but a blanket statement of white people laughing at blacks seems kinda unfair, especially since there are some white people right here showing a sincere interest in educating ourselves about this music.
Money! I would think Common could get more support, but Talib is on Koch isn't he? I doubt Koch has the type of money it would take to steal time from the majors.gullyjewelz said:how bout this - y cant artists like common n talib kweli type artist have their record labels run that payola tish too? then at least fans could hear "more"
i hate payola and dont think it hsould occur - but u cant change the world - if u cant beat em, join em - play their game, . . . if its all about who pays the station - then some non-gangsta, snap-music, hyphee, car-ridin-drug-dealin, what ever tish artist/label needs to kick in the doh!!!!!
