Does is matter if I'm black or white ?!

I've been sick for a couple days now, and this really cool song has been repeatedly playing on my computer .

song: Bitches love me by Lil wayne & Drake

'' Yeah, long as my bitches love me,
I could give a fuck about no hater long as my bitches love me,
yeah yeah "" 

Not surprising if I'm telling you guys that I've been singing along the whole time .

 But the funny part is that as soon as a hip hop song has a gritty tune, it automatically gives me a certain air of '' badass-ness ''

My head's a little higher, my walk becomes a swag. And I realize I forget about the racial differences. 

Now this all relates to what we've been talking about in class last week; something that is called the colorblind theory . 

Before I explain the theory, I want you to ask yourself '' why do I listen to hip hop ? for the beats ? the swings ? racial purpose maybe ? 

Anyways sooo, this theory states that by consuming hip hop, members of the scene position themselves as cool or hip, by its association with African Americans, presenting themselves as confident, progressive whites, smoothly moving through another cultural milieu. 

Yet their adherence to the color blind ideology leads them down the path of consuming hip hop precisely to indicate the irrelevance of race in their own lives. 

In other words, it says that the majority of white hip hop fans use the color-blind ideology to justify their participation in a local hip hop scene. Why ? because according to the theory, we use the color blind excuse to keep our eyes closed at the inequality. 

The theory might be harsh, but we can't deny that the hip hop culture is not entirely colorless. 15 years ago anyone might have said that rapping is for black people from the hoods, while now the majority would say something such as '' I listen to hip hop because I like it, it has nothing to do with race or culture '' . Well I'll let you do the math for this one .. 

On the other hand, I don't think anyone should have to justify why he likes some kind of art or listen to some kind of music. 

Moreover the artist might have a certain meaning for his song when he writes it, but as soon as it's out in the world, everyone has the right to make his own interpretation of it. 

I have times when I find myself overanalyzing the meaning of songs, whilst others I couldn't even guess the meaning because I haven't given it any thought. 

this theory in my eyes is relative, but it might be explaining my different attitude when listening to hip hop. 

In this next song the lyrics doesn't let us to misinterpret the meaning, mix cultural races , or even apply the colorblind theory 

song : Fuck da police by N.W.A 

'' A young nigga got it bad cuz I'm brown,

and not the other color . '' 

And here's one of my other favorites at this time, that I must must share with you, and will make you feel badass too :) 

Song : Money tree by Kendrick Lamar
