Why do a lot of white people hate on blacks for rap, but they rarely do on white people for being rockers?

Question

Ok, now I will meet there is a lot of rap that turns me off and the style in which it looks can be real gangsta and downright scary in it's appearance. And a lot of white people tend to hate on blacks for that and well, I can't disagree with them. I'm black and even I'll admit it's a bit bad in it's appearance and effect. However, I rarely here white people hate on rock. Blacks are respectful enough not to hate on white people's rock either. And to me, rock is some of the most obnoxious, loud, irritating music I have ever heard. And if you want to talk about bad in appearance, rockers have tattooes all over their stomachs and arms, usually with their shirts off. They have piercing in their nose and necks, long wild hair, a lot of times paint, and black lipstick. Just look at Marilyn Manson. I mean, I could go on for ages on how crazy rockers look. There's also those white gothic people who are sort of connected to rock. How come white people never hate on that but hate on blacks rap.

Even the women dye their hair different colors, have piercings, different colored stockings, all kinds of crazy colors, piercings in weird places, paints, and wear odd looking clothes but you will rarely hear white people hate on this, but they rather hate on rap and how weird they think that is.

Answer 1

Rock isn't hated on as much as rap music because of rap's lyrical content and videos. Modern rock music can be loud, and the people singing the music can sound and look downright scary, but their lyrics aren't always about negative things (drinking, drugs, objectifying women, gangsta activity, raunchy sex, etc.) like rap tends to be and rock videos don't usually contain half-naked women shaking their a**es for the camera. Not saying all rock music is pure and all rap is bad though. Those are just the general feelings.

Answer 2

It seems to me that you have some prejudices yourself. I am a young white girl, I listen to rap more that rock (or what you call "white" music). I have a piercing, but no tattoos. I have a lot of black friends. Is it only white, rock-loving people who can have piercings, tattoos, or a creative hairstyle? No. If you turn on BET anytime of the day you will see all different forms of expression in the form of body art. Black rappers have tattoos too; it's not just a "white rocker" thing .
Our society and most of the people in it have this view that everyone has to have a "cookie cutter" image. If you are white you act a certain way and if you are black you act a certain way. That is not how it is.
Oh, and FYI, all goths aren't white either.
Here is a piece of advice, you should become a more informed person and change your views before you expect everyone else to!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Answer 3

You're cherry picking facts- and ignoring some obvious things with your statements.

Rap and R&B, along with Pop music dominate the mainstream music charts, therefore they get the most attention and discussion by a media that is predominantly white.

Think of it this way, while both do exist- which would surprise you least- a white kid dressed up and acting like a rapper, or a black kid dressed up and acting like a rocker?

You cannot deny it would be the latter, so how is that hating?

Answer 4

i do no longer see the "song" factor approximately white people have greater homosexuals. Rock do talk approximately intercourse and medicines like rap and R&B. to no longer the extinct like rap and R&B yet do talk approximately it exceedingly throughout the time of the 70's and 80's while steel and puzzling rock replace into mainstream usual. besides, white individuals are the main populated race team and the main liberal than black individuals. this is why you notice whites greater suitable than blacks.
