i have re-re-re-re-re read the OP, and i'm being serious when i say i'm not all that bright, i'm kinda stupid. i honestly do not see where he "defends racism." i think he was misunderstood. makes people skittish about posting what is on their mind if they are gonna be misunderstood and have to defend a point they didn't even make.

I saw that many (including myself) jumped onto the example of "Hip-Hop" that Shauk posed. I agree that that was a poor choice, if only because it needed more elaboration on how it contained to perpetuate racism. I tried my hardest to veer what I originally offered enlightment into, to what I believe Shauk was asking about "media perception of the culture". It is a thought-provoking topic, and I'm glad it was raised, but it did start off not to dissimilar to another of Shauk's threads about "Why does all rap suck?". I just think either more elaboration on the offered example was needed, other types of racism/class structure that continues today, or perhaps it was better left to our own each individual minds to come up with examples.
Thankfully, the train is back on the tracks there, I think.
