So, I found this rap song about a whit person rapping ha. But I thought that the song was very interesting because it talks about a white person assimilating to a predominately rooted black style of music and the fact that rapping from a white perspective is illegitimate because he doesn’t understand the trueness that hip-hop was founded on. The song is called white privilege and he talk about the concepts that we have been discussing in class. There is a line though that I really like. He says something like “its scary to acknowledge the benefits of our white privilege cause its human nature to want to a part of something different especially when your ancestors are European Christians.” This line is so true and applicable to what we’re talking about in class. But, I wanted to get the classes opinion. I encourage you to research the lyrics. I am sorry I can’t give them. I can’t find a site that will let me copy and paste them, but never the less listen and think about what he’s really saying about being white.
