From Contactmusic.com:
JAY-Z has credited hip-hop with improving race relations across America - because white kids who idolise him and SNOOP DOGG don't become racists.
The rapper insists there's too much negativity about the musical genre and its related culture - and few dwell on the good it's done.
He explains, "It has changed America immensely... Hip-hop has done more than any leader, politician, or anyone to improve race relations.
"Racism is taught in the home... and it's very hard to teach racism to a teenager who idolises, say, Snoop Dogg. It's hard to say, 'That guy is less than you.' The kid is like, 'I like that guy, he's cool. How is he less than me?'
"That's why this generation is the least racist generation ever. You see it all the time. Go to any club. People are intermingling, hanging out, enjoying the same music."
How ya'll feelin bout this little quote. I think Jay hit the nail on the head. There's still racism out there, but Hip-Hop is a bridge builder between cultures. It defines cool in America and the world over, so everyone wants to be involved. I wonder what O'Reilly would have to say about this...
Prolly something negative... SOUND OFF BELOW....
