The media's fascination with mocking black music. Am I reaching here?

[Mr. Negative]

raps become a parody of itself already. y'all have the 2chainz thread stickied in the booth

I came in here to say this exact thing.

The difference in your example is that blacks/minorities had to become the undisputed best in their respective sports before they were acknowledged as the real thing.

Whites generally just have to show up and be alright/catchy and they're handed the keys to the kingdom. We don't get that easy a pass off.

You won't hear about those violin players until they flatout can't be ignored on the mainstream level.
But Timberlake and Bieber weren't required to make the best music before they were crowned.
Hell, they didn't even require great voices.

I don' think they are mocking black music, but there is always a fascination when someone white does something that black folk are good at. White rappers are highlighted even though they are mediocre (Macklemore, Vanilla Ice etc.), white basketball player as well, but it doesn't happen the other way around like a black person who is good at something historically/seemingly white except sports (Venus williams, Tiger woods) because it is sport is all about numbers. But I am sure there are really excellent black violin players out there, but the (white) press doesn't go out there to highlight them.

lol the press doesn't highlight violin players period.

and what do you mean by something "historically white?" examples breh examples!

Yeah, you are right, that is what I mean. Black folk playing a historically white sport have to be the best, it is all about numbers (scores, wins, rankings etc) and the press can't ignore that.
But let us keep it 100 with Timberlake/Robin Thicke, way too nikkas dapped them and gave them the nikka pass and let them infiltrate the urban market. But back to your main point, I don't think they are mocking black music though.

I meant "predominately white" like ice skating, skiing, bobsledding, yodeling etc.

 

[TheNig]

[Ricky Church]

[DeVanteSwing]

its an old, overused comedic technique

irony. same as a man dressed as a woman. jimmy kimmel goin to a barbershop. dave chappelle and john mayer skit. same stuff

 

[RammerJammer]

Get a fukking sense of humor....in regards to the Jimmy Fallon video. We do the same thing mocking white folks so

 

[Momentum]

Of course Andy Samberg was involved, that fukking kike seems to have built his entire career off of this. Everything else he does seems to be a failure or lackluster...his entire career is built off of racist rap "parodies", it's ridiculous.

Someone said it?!

Can't tell what picture is, please rehost.

 

[Benjamin Sisko]

This is another way of cacs using and disrespecting black culture. It is no different then black-face.

 

[Danny Up]

How can you blame white people? At least white people make it entertaining, these blacks want you think it's cool to kill black people allday and if you don't you simply aren't an authentic black person

You are right. Nikkas need to learn not everything is racist.

nikkas need to know when they and their culture is being insulted.
