Most probably felt like that, but were too busy trying to point out that "one of my really good friends is black" to say anything.

Hmm, I think that the article was right on point, especially "So in the ultimate irony, it is white buyers who make that kind of rap profitable...:

Well, whats the other part of the formula for irony here? White buyers make rap profitable so therefore its ironic that ______________? That white people point out what they see as a double standard when it comes to black community reaction? I don't see how that fits. That white people blame the black community for things like the Imus debacle? I've heard very few white people say things like that, so I certainly don't see that it would be the "ultimate irony." In fact, on a scale of irony, I'd probably give it, generously, a 3/10.

Not really, double standards regarding how BLACK PEOPLE react to situations like this have absolutely nothing to do with whether white people purchase a majority of the rap music in this country.
