11394, RE: Hip Hop = Modern Day Blackface

This is the what I was talking about in a post I made a few weeks back. All these rappers with the blinged out teeth, chains, pimp suits, pimp talk, and rims, are nothing more than modern day Minstrel shows. Everyone trying to show who is the most niggerish, the biggest coon, so on and so forth. I agree with brother Spike Lee when he lashed out against these modern day Sambos. Then we wonder why we aren't given the respect, or taken seriously, have you watched BET?! Matter of fact, does BET have any show on their that doesn't promote negative stereotypes? Hell no.
