He's pretty used to it. He's known for doing interviews with rappers and is probably the most prolific producer of that genre. He's constantly attacked for being a "culture vulture" but they can't stop watching his content.

Sadly. This appears to be correct. Far too many examples of these supposedly “elite” universities promoting ideals that are, frankly speaking, UN-American.

I’m ok with it as long as we can have white only discussions and white only spaces.


unfortunately we can’t have that conversation because too many white folks hate the color of their skin

How is an observation based in fact racist? Why are you so sensitive.

No--this is very racist, not a "little" racist. It is based on a stereotype/prejudice that white people are unable to understand and/or comment on a particular type of music commonly associated with African Americans. (Of course there are many white Americans who listen to this kind of music and are free to comment.)

Imagine a white university professor saying that a black person is unable to comment on a piece of classical music, based on the stereotype/prejudice that black people are unable to understand and/or comment on a particular type of music often associated with European Americans. (Of course, there are many black Americans who listen to classical music and are free to comment.)

Link the Alanis Morrisette song, “Isn’t it Ironic” and let that eat.

What if he wants to comment on Run DMC’s version of Walk This Way?


Then he may comment on exactly half of the song. The white half.
