I agree. What everyone here is seeming to forget is that it's WHITE PEOPLE who are buying the majority of this music. It's WHITE PEOPLE who are fuelling this objectification through their record purchases. And I seriously doubt 50 or any other "gangsta rapper" would not call a white woman a bitch simply because of her skin. And also, what about Eminem? Is he one of those black-woman hating black men? He uses bitch and ho just as much as the darkest skinned rappers, and is more popular to boot. Or what about all those rock stars of the '80's? I'm sure their objectification of groupies was totally NOW-endorsed, right? They were enlightened troubadors in comparison to the loutish, uneducated, simian negro rappers right?
Taking pop-rap seen on MTV/BET then trying to make vast sweeping generalizations about a small segment of said viewing audience is stupid. There might have been something of merit to what the OP had to say, but it was presented so ignorantly and artlessly that all the potential for meaningfull discussion was drained. All that was presented was fairly obvious race-baiting. What next, a thread about "Why can't those black people stay away from fried chicken and watermelon"?
