What is interesting is that Captain Jack never mentions anything about the race of the people who are making rap music. I happen to disagree with Captain Jack on the artistic merit of rap (and I am a 41 yo white guy), but there was nothing bigoted in his response. Just his opinion. However, by the poster assuming that all rap is made by blacks, he has proven that he is the bigot, as well as the threadhead who agreed with him. Other white rappers include the Beastie Boys (who have been around since 1981), Blondie with "Rapture", Eminem and even more mainstream contemporary "rock" bands such as Linkin Park have rap as a key component to their music. And let's not forget that there are latino rappers such as Cypress Hill. So by assuming that Captain Jack was giving a racially oriented opinion, the bigot critics have proven themselves to be bigots. I can't post on that thread where this commentary belongs....oh well. Maybe someone could cut and paste their own content from that thread with this commentary so that they can be made an example for themselves.
