Imitation is the sincerest of flattery.

If no one liked Black music, style, & culture but Black people, that would be strange. Racist white people label other white people who express their appreciation of Black culture as wiggers and we accuse them of stealing.

I know two white guys who can quote every single silible of Black rappers from The Sugar Hill Gang to Ludacris. Neither of them dress or act hip hop, but they constantly test each other to see who knows more lyrics.

Interesting video. Very good doc.

First, I hate the term 'wigger.' For 'wigger' to exist that means that must be a ni----' I don't want there to be a ni---- to exist, so I don't want there to be a wigga to exist.

2nd, the more I learn about white people and what and who they are, the less I know of who or what they are.


Aesop Rock looks a pale black man. His lips are big and he looks kinda latino.


Could this a latent black identity? If there is such a thing as collective black consciousness, then how far back does it go? Maybe white people connect to black culture and rap music because it's within them naturally? I'on know, I just thinkin.


Are Persians white?



'and they travel in packs' - this is their idea of black people?


White on white racism is good. They deserve everything they ever did to us.
But what about these guys?

I still listen to ol skool Beastie Boys.


MM is scary.


I love Chuck D, l read his book.


I love Paul Mooney. He's funny and true.


Why isn't white face offensive? Why is it mime and they don't speak?


He's wrong. I never wanted to be white.


Don't just think outside the box. Eliminate the box.


Just random thoughts.

Errr no, it is white people's doing what they do best, stealing other people's cultures, turning inside out then centuries later claiming it has their own.

It is the 21st century version of the ministrel show. They capitalized on it then and are doing the same now, see EMINEM.

Paul Mooney is always on point!

Ok but 2 questions

1 Did the Antient Kemetians frown on Greek immigrant teens who dressed like the style ad emulated the teens back then as odd?
Or when they were colonized by Rome did they look at the Italian youth who did the same , as strange?

2. Why is it that the Last Poets, Yusef Lateef, Pharoah Sanders, Ravi Coltrane, and Imamu bbaraka get standing room only when they perform in Europe,
but have trouble selling tickets here or in the Carribbean??
