What I can't seem to understand (and would imagine is the source of much of the ire that your argument has generated) is why you're so convinced that hip-hop culture is indicative of black culture. Your premise is murky, poorly fleshed out and totally unsubstantiated. What are you saying?
As for the article you've linked and quoted, blah.

Confirmation bias, much?
What's your point? What are you saying?
I suppose I should also note that I, Manic_Skafe am in no way calling you a racist...yet.
