KAPPATivating, I think 'white rapper' is a troll/joke; we all know how absurd his post(s) is/are.
I wouldn't take him serious...
As far as the discussion is concerned, I think a lot of it has to do with our connection to our history/struggle (amongst other reasons). Many people, especially those of my generation, are out of touch with what it took for them to get
here. Many aren't appreciative of just how the odds were against them, how much sacrifice and so forth it took just to get decent wages/adequate living opportunities. This added to a shift of values without proper education/means (i.e. parents/single parent who think it's better for their child to look good/play basketball than it is to sit down and do homework with them after school added to poor school conditions, etc) has allowed a sense of complaceny.
Especially with the Black male. The emasculation of Black men from slavery, prevalent fear of Black men, devaluing of their counterparts (Black women) and social/institutional barriers to real, quantified success (excluding professional sports membership and entertainment)...it's been a long, destructive cycle. So, now, it's time to break it.

White rapper I take strong offense to the comment that there are a small supply of quality black men. I beg to differ. There are a proportionate number of quality black men who have not been a part of the system, as you yourself have. On behalf of my black men, I will say that we must do our best to educate ourselves and become positive role models in our communities and families. You seem to me to be the type of person who wants desperately to be the "hard core" individual. You characterize yourself not as a rapper, but instead the "white" rapper. What does incareration have to do with dating black women? Please think before you post because although you may rap (which does not give you a pass to the hood), have been incarerated, and date black women, you still at the end of the day are not black!
