- Oh, gee, let's start categorizing, stereotyping, and be total bigots.
- Espicially on this newsgroup, you'd think that would be kept to a
- minimum. Why can't a rapper be white? Sure, there aren't a hell of a
- lot of 'em, and I hate rap, but give the guy a break. What about the
- black metal band Living Colour? Are they walking oxymorons? Come on,
- guys...look past the surface, look past the race, look beyond what your
- eyes tell you. If Marky likes rap, he has every right to 'produce' it.
- If it sells, great for him.
