Whether you guys admit it or not, Rap/Hip Hop IS recognized as black culture. It doesn't matter where it originated or that there's white rappers or tons of white fans of the genre.
The problem is that many of the black people that become famous are just a few steps out of the ghetto. They're ignorant kids that hang out with their ignorant ghetto friends and get into trouble instead of seeing ignorant ghetto kid gets in trouble they see "Rich black person gets in trouble" and racist America just says yeah, even rich black people are nothing but trouble.
I think racism is the same as always. In the past there were many misinformed people and it was easy to stay misinformed. I think now we're just left with ignorant people that deny that we're the same and people that just have to focus their hate somewhere. People are ignorant!
I like saying ignorant. With my southern drawl, It sounds like ignert.
