Why do non-Black people who love the "Hip-Hop Culture"....?

Question

Often freaked out or intimidated when they meet a real live Black person? ( who, BTW, is prolly nothing like what's portrayed in the media?) Kinda like that scene from Office Space!! LOL!

I didn't say "all", and I'm speaking from experience.

Answer 1

My brother is more into rap music than me, but he is more critical of black ppl....like I had a kinda 2 week fling with a black girl and he said he would never be with a black girl....I dunno about him being freek'd out or intimidated by black ppl tho....I grew up around a lot of other ppl like that too

....and that movie office space is a classic
.

Answer 2

Oh...........expensive...........GAWD EDIT: i think of i lost 10 IQ factors analyzing this question EDIT: Hip Hop contains, yet isn't constrained to, rap. Hip Hop is a existence-form, that encompasses no longer basically music, yet dance, and international outlook. Hip Hop dances: B-boying; Krumping; Popping & Locking, Waving,Bone breaking & Strobing Hip Hop greats: Jay-Z, Tupac, P. Diddy, Biggie, 50 cent, Nas you have a component in saying the rhyming , an area of rap, became of course no longer made up by ability of Hip Hop; yet Hip Hop is a lot greater suitable than merely rap--so till you formulate a controversy that explains all the different factors of city way of existence in Hip Hop, it relatively is a fail

Answer 3

First, a note- If you don't mean "all", please specify "some", "those I've met", "those I know", or something of the sort.

Anyway-
Some non-blacks who embrace hip hop culture have never been exposed to black people in day-to-day life. So, while they may not be racist, they could feel a little strange when they come in contact with those whom they've never met since the experience is completely new to them. Also- It's important to remember that hip hop culture has expanded far beyond black culture. Therefore, embracing hip hop culture is not the equivalent of embracing black culture. To think otherwise is to think that hip hop IS black culture when, in fact, it is only a small fragment of black culture.

I hope you understand what I'm saying. Thank you for your question. I hope questions such as yours raise awareness about this subject and work towards helping us all to understand each other and why we think, say, and do certain things.

Answer 4

I am not black and in no way intimidated by black people, why should I? Anyways if people do get "freaked out or intimidated" by black people they were probably living under a rock and never seen one before.

Answer 5

Kind of like when a black woman with a blonde weave meets a real blonde woman huh?

Answer 6

Well, I am a black woman who grew up in a predominately whit suburb and I can say I have seen a lot of this myself. I have posed this question to many of my white friends and I am going to tell you what one told me.

"It's like if you have a CZ (fake diamond). It may be 50 carats large and you may genuinely love it, but when a real diamond comes along, even if it is smaller and a lot less brilliant, it's real, and then you become ashamed of your false diamond.

Answer 7

Good question considering real hip-hop is not a black thing, but a thing for all people regardless of color. Most people don't know that in the beginning a couple of white jews provided the venue for rappers and their biggest fans were Japanese tourists!

Answer 8

I am well paid at a prestigious intl company. I love it when young white kids try to talk jive to me. I'm like... what the hell are you talking about son?

Answer 9

Not me. I been around black people all my life. I don't go OMG a black person. Get real. You don't know all non-black people so you should shut up.

Answer 10

i love black people
