Particularly noteworthy is that this appeared on a thread which is explicitly limited to "professional" commentary. Yet, it received no criticism even for lack of "professionalism", let alone banning (by a thread head who routinely bans people).
Actually, I found this post particularly noteworthy.
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.

There was discussion the other day on that thread dealing with the topic of liberal racism. You won't see any meaningful discussion of racism among the ranks of liberals in the MSM, but it exists, and is quite pervasive, IMO.
