Need some opinions on this. Am I a wigger for listening to Wu tang and other black hiphop acts? People tell me I am. I don't think so. I just think a lot of hiphop is of a much higher standard than the indie-pop shite my friends listen to. I don't ever try and talk black, except occasionally when I get a bit carried away.
I mean personally, I don't think your music taste should matter, I think a white person becomes a wigger when he starts to exclusively wear fubu, exclusively associate himself with black people, and starts overusing black lingo. I know plenty of people like this, but they never get called a wigger. People don't call other people wiggers for listening to black music, as long as they do other things associated with being black. But if you act normal most of the time, people, but listen to hiphop, they call you a wigger.
I personally think musicians should be grateful for all their fans, regardless of colour/class/age or whatever, seeing as it is us that go to concerts, and buy the CDs, and allow them to earn a living.
Black people never get told they're trying to be white if they listen to music made by white people. People seem to think racism is only wrong if it's directed at blacks, or skinny asians.
Apologies if you think this thread is racist, or if I have enforced any stereotypes, I just can't be bothered to check my posts for politcal correctness, I doubt anyone will be offended anyway.
