Based on this post, I assume you think it's only mostly black people that like "the culture of triviality that celebrates celebrity." I mean we are only 13% of the population. They can't have entire industries surrounding this aspect of American culture only focus on us black folk. I'm pretty sure that it isn't only black people supporting pop culture in America.
It's one thing to like and listen to the music.
It's quite another to think it's a way of life.
Well since she's addressing a mostly black crowd at a HBCU, I'm sure she is talking about black folk. Her basic message can be applied to basically any "race." From your article she said "the culture of triviality that celebrates celebrity." To me that represents the issue with aspects of overall American culture. She just fine tuned the message to focus on the attending audience.
Uh huh but she specifically applied it to Black people why is this difficult for you to process?

Pop culture? Um have you seen the people of this country? Pop culture = popular culture. That actually doesn't mean exclusively rap and hip hop. It's a much bigger scale than that.
