My friend just got a record deal and the white record company executives want him to change his lyrics and call women bitches in his rap lyrics. He made a really good song called "Ignorant" In the song, he makes fun of ganstas and thugs and it's funny. They refuse to release it. They would rather release a song that they told him to record callled "Pimp that *****". The record company refuse to release the songs with positive messages. Will smith sold 9 million copies and Hammer sold 10 million so positive rap can sale. If they portray black men to be stupid, that will make white women think all black men are really that way which is good for white men that hate to see white women with black men. Just like the Indians do with the Indian movies. They portray the Indian men to be heros and the ameirican men do be cruel men. That makes Indians men look good and they're sending the message that Indian men are better for Indian women than American men.

Your leading question and the details don't seem to have anything to really do with each other. I am a white woman and have been in relationships with blacks and whites. While dating blacks, the people we got the most stares from were the black women. I believe that we should be free to date whomever we find compatible and have an attraction to, and I am glad to be in America where I can do just that.

As for your "friend", I hope he and his management were careful in signing that contract to retain creative control. I find your proposed scenario a bit unbelievable, because he would have been signed to the record label based on his existing works, so they would have known what he was about. Not all hip-hop is sexist or gansta, but that does seem to be what is currently selling the most. You mention Will Smith and Hammer -- do you realize how long ago that was? Current artists that maintain their creative independence are a little harder to find - but they're out there. CHeck out: http://www.okayplayer.com/

I don't really know if this is a race issue. It sounds like the record company wants him to put down women and curse and be thuggie like all those other rappers who make millions degrading women and their own culture. What black America needs are better role models, being a thug to me and cursing and degrading women is a put down to all women and black women in general have had to overcome so much and still are dealing with this issue. I like will smith and his music and I refuse to buy all that vulgar laced thug music. I think your friend needs to stick to his morals and values because all this violence sells which is sad. I just don't believe every black man out there is bad and wants to be a thug. Education is power, you can be anything, being a thug gives you a very limited life span. Also there are just as many low life white men out there, they just don't get all the coverage of this gangsta rap like the black men do. I say keep up the positive kids need this badly.

Genarally speaking, Yes. I actually think white men dont like to see white women liking black men. But not all of them are that way, though.
As for all the other stuff with the Record Companies and the Indians....i really dont have any take on those.
