Black people usually limit what music they can like to whats mostly black. Black people wouldn't buy a rock album because its made by a black person, they'd just call him an uncle tom. It's not the population it's just whats the base of certain rapper's success. "Let's do the math if I was black I would have sold half". It's easier to connect with someone if they have your skin color. That's not racism, it's just how it is. It's nothing to get mad at.

Exactly. So why are you arguing? I agree with you?
The rap/hip hop industry is mainly full of black people. Thats what I implied with what I said. It was a generalization, but an understandable one, which you reaffirmed.
What I said had nothing to do with the handful of white artists whose success is fuelled by being different.
