Shauk, it seems to me what you're getting at is that the folks of today practice a more 'justified' or 'nuanced' form of racism based on 'factual input' from the TeeVee. This is in opposition to the ignorant racists of yesteryear who simply were racists due to the cultural standard.

This argument rests on the notion that the imagery we get from the TV is a defensibly accurate portrayal of 'black culture' and/or 'hip hop' as a whole. It isn't, which is what everyone -I think- is all up in arms about.
