Jigga Says Hip-Hop Helps Race Relations...

Jay-Z was recently quoted as saying that hip-hop has helped race relations in America.
He explains, “It has changed America immensely… Hip-hop has done more than any leader, politician, or anyone to improve race relations. Racism is taught in the home… and it’s very hard to teach racism to a teenager who idolizes, say, Snoop Dogg. It’s hard to say, ‘That guy is less than you.’ The kid is like, ‘I like that guy, he’s cool. How is he less than me?’ That’s why this generation is the least racist generation ever. You see it all the time. Go to any club. People are intermingling, hanging out, enjoying the same music”. Source
Nice try Jay, but I just don’ think that Chad suburbia and Faheem Hood are going to be chillin’ in the same circles. Let’s not even mention the fact that rap music has been responsible for perpetuating stereotypes.
