brief response
I was asked, "Anticipatience, what perceptions are going to be cleared up by Oprah having foul-mouthed, women-denigrating rappers on her show?"
If Oprah can have a white racist man from the deep south screaming the "n-word" all over her show and then have him back to say why he no longer uses it, she can stand to have a couple of rappers on. By the way, I highly doubt that they would disrespect her show with profanity. They might defend their use of it (and maybe illuminate their reasons for degrading women the way they do as well) but I doubt they would use it. Also, despite how they sound in songs and during some interviews, most mainstream rappers are highly articulate and can express themselves very well (50 Cent and Jay-Z, especially). I wouldn't put them all in the same category...
