The Whitest Music On Earth

The Whitest Music On Earth2

According to Mediamark Research Inc, white fans underwrite the gangsta rap music industry by purchasing more than seventy percent of the rap music in this country. It is official. By far, the largest share of gangsta rap music sales is going to white supporters. So if a lot of white people are buying this music, and a lot of white people are paying for the development of this music, and a lot of white people who control the music industry are making a lot of money from the proliferation of this particular form of music, why do so many people insist that this is a phenomenon associated predominantly to the black community?

The rap artist is the obvious front man for the gangsta rap industry. The misogynistic, materialistic, and antisocial poet that appears to say whatever he likes is actually on a seriously tight leash from his music industry handlers. The black man who talks about being a pimp on the street and slapping his bitches around, G’s up and ho’s down and all that crap, is nothing more than a bitch for a white man that mails him his check. This caricature of modern urban black culture is as accurate a portrait of the black community as the black faced and thick red lipped characters of the minstrel show were an accurate portrayal of black people in the late nineteenth and early twentieth century.

But sadly, too many of our black children are seduced by the constant marketing and do their best to emulate this behavior. Marketing has also sold the vast majority of the public on the preposterous supposition that black teenagers and young adults were solely responsible for the development of gangsta rap music. This misinformation is widely accepted as truth regardless of the reality of white people’s participation.

White kids across the country sit in the bedrooms of their suburban neighborhood homes or in their cars, listening to the very latest in gangsta rap music that glorifies racist stereotypes and portrays black women as little more than animals and black men as borderline psychotics. White teenagers and young adults enjoy the world filled with messages of violence and materialism and image with very little recognized association. White people fund the propaganda of the stereotypes of gangsta rap culture and black people bear the brunt of the connotation. Therefore, when a black person tries to go out in society and get an education or employment, they have to prove that they are not part of the gangsta rap culture while white people are never burdened with any suggestion of gangsta rap culture.

More white people are the fuel for the development of the gangsta rap Pandora ’s Box that some people are now working futilely to close. Because of the subliminal and overt messages of gangsta rap it is the black neighborhood that suffers from the reputation of being drug infested when the reality is that drugs are more prevalent in white neighborhoods. Gangsta rap culture teaches that black people are violent when the reality is that the white community is just as, if not more, violent. Gangsta rap will make the suggestion that black people are criminally oriented when white people are perpetrators of the vast majority of crime in this country.

Gangsta rap has a huge white audience. At more than seventy percent of the market, white people are funding the development of this music at a rate that is nearly three times the number of black people who contribute to its development. The black rapper is the one making millions of dollars as the front man for this music. But it is the white dominated corporate music industry that stands to make billions off the proliferation of gangsta rap. But regardless of all this, when white people use racial slurs against black people, hyper assimilated black people, as well as people everywhere, want to focus their disgust on others in the black community and ask, why did you let this happen?

The black rappers don’t care about this duplicitous arrangement that allows white people to have all the benefit and black people suffer all the pain. The rapper’s philosophy can be summed up as, “Somebody’s got to do it. Somebody is going to get paid to do this minstrel show for white people’s entertainment. So it might as well be me. I got kids to feed.” And this misogynistic and black community hating music rarely utters a word against white people. At least not these days when it has become so clear that the white community is signing all the rap singing bitch’s checks.

If the dominant community had any integrity we would see those responsible stand up and accept their undercover role in this game that has the black community fighting for some type of relevance. It’s not enough for the black community to say that we are going to stop. Since the black community makes up less than thirty percent of the target market for gangsta rap music, if every black person was to stop buying the music, the industry would be hurt but would continue with its far larger white market share. White people need to step up to the plate and realize the fact that they are by far the largest contributor in the gangsta rap phenomenon.

  1. I was living in a pretty much ALL white area and the amount of loud as hell rap music coming out of the kid’s cars and homes was astronomical. If you buy into the propaganda you would think that you were sitting in the middle of the “hood”. Yet white people would have you believe that they are totally repulsed by the gangster rap. All the while commercials, from most advertising firms that are predominantly white, are full of gangster rap songs.

    The propaganda that surrounds the black community is thick as pea soup. And unfortunately, a lot of people in the black community are some of the biggest pushers of this very propaganda. People like Bill Cosby who will have you think that the black community is a poisoned hell hole full of single mothers named Shaneequa. We have to break out of our own stereotypical thinking and support our brothers and sisters.

    Great post!!!
