Subject: Nerd Core Rapper
Your guest is just using "white ebonics". Of course, this will be all the rage for white kids and programs on MTV. However, when black people use slang, we are castigated in the media. But when white kids use "Valley Girl" talk, or "nerd rap", it's all the rage...for white people. Why the double-standard? It's just another example of white people co-opting black culture...to their benefit. Can't white people do anything culturally orignal without copying or ripping off black people?
