think YOU are being facetious in the least. However, I do think you gravely discounted the veracity and POWER of what you assert:

Powers-at-BE are fully aware that Americans are controlled by what they see/hear on mediums (just ask R. Murdock!)-------ghetto and suburbs alike! Therefore White Racism, within the conceptuality of its ETERNAL evolution, must only allow for Rap/Hip-Hop Acts that yield a tumultuous and nefarious Image of Blackness-----as the most widely disseminated messages.

Its the veracity in how the Enron/WorldCom/MCI/Arthur Andersen Corporate Scandal-players get to REMAIN a TOTALLY Caucasoidal-fraternity------via that image of Ying-Yang/Lil' Jon/50/G-Unit as what the Powers-at-BE MUST allow America to be fed about Blackmen. Because one of us need not even partake of Hip-Hop in this Nation, yet still be viewed/prejudiced/processed like we are of that Fruit-----w/ honor-grad degree in hand!!

The stagnating power of their works, is phenom. Then again, they've been working on this strategii for scores of years so...don't be surprised if you go stand in front of Congress with that efficient scenario you present below-----and get blackballed off The Hill.
