Ghetto Cracker--The Hip-Hop Sellout: How Today's Hip Hop and Rap Culture Is Nothing More Than The Redneck Cracker Culture Of The Past
Acting “white” is a term of derision among those who view hip hop and rap culture as authentically black. In fact, it’s the rappers who’ve sold out by adopting the low-life habits first displayed among poor Southern whites. I examine the hip-hop world’s violent and immoral ethos through the lens of Thomas Sowell’s new book, Black Rednecks and White Liberals,” and other sources.
What's the difference between Lil' John and antebellum era rednecks? Nothing really.
