Why do White hip-hop people think they are guaranteed friendship among Black circles?

Question

Some White people think that just because they listen to hip hop that they are somehow not racist and that every Black person will like them. Little do they know they are disrespecting Black people by copying an art form that came from pain, that's like an Asian person trying to become a historian on the Holocaust and pretending to understand the struggles of Isreal. Many Black people do not like White hip hoppers because White people like that think all Blacks should act a certain way and try to keep Black people in boxes. Black people use hip hop to expand themselves, White people use hip hop to limit themselves and cause problems. So why do White people that are wannabe's think that Black people should even associate with them when basically their only goal is to be classless?

Hello, 1 (point) 61 IQ, you must be blind and watch too much tv, the white people and bush administration laughed and left black people in despair on katrina, the people who helped them out were black rescuers, black churches and some whites

Kgee, Beethoven was Black, so if you study piano, yes you are trying to be Black.

Answer 1

I've never met one single white person, who embraces hip hop culture, who thinks that they are "guaranteed friendship among Black circles". Although, I don't doubt the possibility. But how would you know? And how would you know that such people think they are not racist? Furthermore, how do you know that they are racist people who are kidding themselves into thinking that they are not racist?

How is anyone disrespecting black people by embracing hip hop culture? Not all blacks embrace hip hop culture for that matter. Culture is no one's property. We all have the right to be ourselves and to enjoy whatever we choose. You are stereotyping people and trying to snuff out individuality. Am I disrespecting black people if I eat potato salad? OOPS! That's a stereotype, isn't it? What's the difference?

"...that's like an Asian person trying to become a historian on the Holocaust and pretending to understand the struggles of Isreal."
----Sorry, but there is no comparison. There is a difference between embracing a culture and pretending to know exactly how someone feels. And, by the way, there would be nothing at all wrong with an Asian person becoming "a historian on the Holocaust". Such a person is someone who is trying to learn and educate him/her self. Who do you think you are to belittle such a positive venture? Furthermore, you are stereotyping Holocaust victims by assuming that they were all Israelites. How dare you?

"Many Black people do not like White hip hoppers because White people like that think all Blacks should act a certain way and try to keep Black people in boxes."
----Excuse you!!! How do you know what "White hip hoppers" think? And, furthermore, how do you know what black people feel about them?

"Black people use hip hop to expand themselves, White people use hip hop to limit themselves and cause problems."
----And you know this HOW???

"So why do White people that are wannabe's think that Black people should even associate with them when basically their only goal is to be classless?"
----Well, I'll tell you who I would NEVER want to associate with.... YOU! You are a racist! End of story! You have stereotyped black people, white people, and Holocaust victims. You are a disgusting little girl who may very well be posting this crap in an effort to do the very thing that you are speaking against (sucking up to black people). Get over it. Be yourself.

Let me tell you something, you racist. I will say and do whatever I damned well please. You can either get use to it or crawl back under your rock.

Hey,
I'm going to answer your question to the best of my abilitie.
Music was originated from blacks. Like blues, jazz and rock and roll. I mean come on people help me if I'm wrong. Hip Hop started back in the late seventies, some whites fell in love with black music and our culture. We as black americans, are very accepting towards other races, depending on where your from. If your black and you bring home a white person, chances are the white person is welcomed, into the family, on the other hand some whites would not approve. Hip Hop, is black music, if your white, and you know your black history, and all about the hip hop culture, you are accepted by the black community. Now what's fake is if you grew up in a all white community and your talking in slain ( Hip Hop), and you have a black women or black man on your shoulder, then that is where you come off fake. If your white and you were raised in the black community, well I would understand as far as the accent, and actions. So Eminim, Paul Wall and the rest, I'm not able to think of, welcome. Peace and love not hate, Brownies

Answer 3

Copying an art form that came from pain? OMG,SMH. What's wrong with an Asian becoming a historian on the Holocaust? If it's interesting and they want to research it so what? I'm Black, and I studied piano. Should I not play Mozart because he was white? You really should not make statements and assume all Black people feel that way. Just because you or your friends feel that way doesn't mean all Black people do too. Appreciate people, stop being racist.


I AM Black. And who mentioned Beethoven?


For 161IQ: I was there. I helped. Handing out water, food supplies. I saw many Black National Guardsmen. And don't forget the colorful Lt. Gen. Russel Honoré, who was in charge of Katrina evacuations. He is a Black man.

Answer 4

A lot of people are stumped by your question, but I think I got the idea.

everytime I go to a white person who's only encounter with a black person was tv. they managed to say things like wazzap blaaaad (whats up blood) or somthing similar like that.

it's annoying, cause little do they know blood is a gang, and I don't like the fact that they use that term on me.

the Hip Hop era was brought apon through pain and suffering, slightly originating from the blues era.

a lot of people around my area call them wiggers, I don't like this term or any term that manages to mark a human being of some lower level of dignity.

but realize one thing, some white people just grow-up in a culture that surrounds them with hip-hop, although a few, there are white people who just have the hip hop in their step because thats how they were raised to feel.

Answer 5

I'm not understanding the question. Is it how do we become a classless society? If so that will never happen because many principles of American society are founded on race, and people intern believe that they must follow these principles to survive. For example people sell drugs because they have or want to; when they are busted they continue to sell drugs because with a record there are not many choices left.

People listen to hip-hop, they connect with the culture... They have no other feelings toward class ... They like what they hear and that is the connection who cares if they are wanted or liked?

Answer 6

Blacks don't only rap about stuggles. I think you have to understand that white hip hoppers have problems, too. It might not be as much as blacks or whatever, but still, problems occur to them as well. Truly blacks and white just rap about non-sense now, so guess what they're problem frre and you have nothing to complain about like black peoples problems and using hip-hop to express it.

Answer 7

Im white, and im from one of the worst "hoods" in cleveland and now i live in one of the worsening suburbs and i guess you would consider me one of those white people trying to act black but your wrong. yes i do rap and actually have several respected local rappers that love my music, they dont get mad at me for stealing it, because im not some rich boy trying to act gangsta im from the same place as everyone else and i am accepted by more blacks in the hood then the suburbs, i drink 40s of olde english and smoke newports and wear baggy pants, and speak differently and carry a strap and sell weed, but not because im looking for acceptance because i already have that east cleveland is as notorious as compton and thats where i spend most of my time because thats where im from and thats what i know, so there are white people out there that arent posing and you need to realize that i dont act the way i do for fun, i act the way i do to survive

Answer 8

I know nothing of Hip-Hop, I guess I'm just too damn old. But I do know this, by virtue of that very same age. A lot of good black and white blood has been spilled before you to bring this society to the point it is at today. Blood spilled over much, much more serious issues than Hip-Hop. You are perpetuating racism...YOU are racist. Nobody wants to or CAN take your "Blackness" from you, but you must realize the sharing and spreading of cultures, good and bad, is one of the things that makes the US great. Take the chip off your shoulder and the world will appear brighter.

Answer 9

I'm white, I don't dress hip hop or act like it. However I don't mind listening to a little 50 cent or kayne west. Or gasp eminem. Does that make me a wanna black person, or as you probally call them a W*****.

Your just as bad as any white person who thinks black people are all criminals and any black person trying to better himself or herself is trying to act white.

Answer 10

Art is for everyone and if hiphop is considered art and not solely protest then everyone can partake in it. Just like the classical opera isn't closed to black people even though it's the whites who made it.
