Soul food and rap music has nothing to do with hegemony.

How come racism, for the most part, is still associated only with whites?
If it's because of history, then please shoot me. Whites today are not that same as whites of the past. Contrary to popular belief, not all whites are hateful, genocidal racists.
Here is an example of a hateful, genocidal racist.
It's just irritating when racism is thought of as an invention of some sort by Europeans, or that only people of European decent can be racist.
even though your points are true, there are some legitimate reasons for this perception.
first, whites have made the most mean and demeaning stereotypes and slurs of other races and cultures. if you think of any possible slurs people use or have heard, most of the worst ones were coined by whites. whites continue to have a habit of doing this and making more stereotypes that are most derogatory and condescending.
whites also have more racist political groups than others in comparison.
as for the vid, you can tell he's "reacting" whereas whites (though not all whites) were more perpetrators of racism. also, racism and xenophobia are not the same thing.

What you're calling hegemony is akin to an arbitrary agreement to drive on one side of the road or another. Whatever criticism you have of the American system ought to be more specific than blaming the white guy as the root of all evil. That's unfair and if you mean to see fairness you'll have to practice what you're preaching. Simple as that.

No, I did not. Neither did my parents or my grandparents. We all had nothing to do with what someone else said and did. If I've got anything nasty to say present tense it has everything to do with content of character of individuals and the nasty misnomer that's passed off as 'black culture' by blacks themselves.

Who are you to tell black people what is their culture and what is not?

lol@ "no, i did not"
its obvious rory is referring to whites in a historical context, not billy born in 1989 in wyoming. what a lame way to try and disprove his/her point. what someone did in the past has had clear effects on both white people and black people, the former benefiting and the latter getting the sht end of the stick
unless you can argue that somehow institutionalized racism and persecution of blacks throughout american history has negatively affected you benefited black people

Because the mainstream media -- which is controlled by mostly white Jewish liberals who hate conservative Christian America -- insists on perpetrating this myth in order to make "multi-cultural" America feel better about themselves, and also because it's not politically correct to point out that minorities can be some of nastiest bigots around.
In order to fix minorities' collective low self-esteem, liberal political correctness stipulates that no minority person who commits a crime shall ever be identified in public and will be ignored by the media, preferring to cover imaginary crimes committed by the oh-so-violent and dangerous Tea Party.
Hollywood will fix this evil white racism disease once and for all by casting all black people as judges or God in every TV show and movie, and all bad guys from here on out will be "Russian". *wink, nudge*

Who the hell are you to be this rude and expect I bother giving you the time of day? If this is what you define as 'black culture' or 'black identity' you've proven my point. It doesn't exist.

Remind us all what end of the stick women had? 2,000 + years of oppression of women far outweighs these issues surrounding American blacks. That oppression also applies to gays, and yes on all counts it was deadly consequence hidden in attics, not strung out on a tree for press coverage.
Not one of these folks in this thread would dare stand up on principle for the very things they argue for themselves. Not for slavery still happening anywhere in this world. Not for women of any color. Not for Jews. Not for Hispanics. Not for gays. That's how I know far too many of them in this forum are completely FOS. That's how I know why my black colleagues shake their heads in utter disgust right along with the white & asian colleagues. Morons don't come in a specific color but poisoning the ears of children isn't unique to KKK.
