Man chief, I thought we were friends. Why u gotta wish knee explosion upon me? And I retain that, were racial roles reverses, Tech would be getting called racist right now. And that double standard shit's gotta go.

I understand.  Maybe I was subconsciously feeling offended by Tech's statements, or something.  I dunno, racism is a strange thing.  It's like, buried deep in the brain.

I'm sure a more well read ninja will throw out the technical word for it, but I betcha there's some sort of syndron/logic-fallacy/response/etc. that involved being pissed at someone of a certain race and responding to it by lashing out at that race/individual of that race. A word besides racism/prejudice/bigotry I mean a word that is it's own thing and pertains to an unprejudiced person doing this out of reactionary rage. There's gotta be a word for that

All he said was he would like to see more blacks at his show. He didnt say he wanted less whites or only blacks. If I was him I wouldnt really give a fuck, but hes probably feeling guilty or something stupid like that

So if a white guy was like "I want more of my people at a show, because it's mostly black people there as is" you don't think black folk at large wouldn't be pissed off at him? He'd get slandered. At least that's how I'd feel.

As a whole people would probably be pissed, but most people these days just want a reason to be outraged. I kinda feel bad for tech his friends probably call him an uncle tom. i know niggas online make fun of him for only havin white fans. I feel he shouldnt let it bother him but i imagine it does.

Tech knows why "his people" don't fucking listen to his music. Because he's not hip-hop. Real hip-hop heads don't fuck with him because he's into the horror shit. "His people" think he's a devil worshipper. That shit aint no joke feel free to go to any big named hip-hop site and look for his music. Even if you do manage to find one of his songs or videos it's a bunch of niggas hating on him for being a devil worshiper and rapping about horror shit. They think he's a clown, and that's all his fault. You can't have a 20+ year career of being a clown and then try to force out some bullshit mainstream music in hopes of getting attention. 

To the Caucasians on this thread:

How would you feel if you were a super successful independent rapper for 20+ years, yet the majority of fans that attended your shows were like 90% African American? 

Would you wonder where the fuck the white people at? Or would you be like "hell yeah I'm accepted!!".

Just wondering, cus I don't know how id feel, other than greatful to have reached someone at all through my music.

I think it would be odd to see 90% African Americans at a show only because of my definition. Most people referred to as African Americans are really just Americans. I doubt very many people have dual citizenship with a country in Africa.

If the thought came into my mind that the crowd was of a different "race", it would be a red flag for me showing that my view of humanity has degraded into pigeonholing  people based on their skin color. I would probably step back and check myself. I strive for color-blindness. It is possible. When my daughter was around 7 we went to a public park and she was making some new friends. She came up to me and said she wanted to come back to the park again to hang out with someone. When I asked who, she said the girl in the red shirt. The girl she was referring to was the only non-Caucasian. She didn't say the black girl, she said the person in the red shirt. That showed me that our children are growing up without noticing skin color as a distinguishing characteristic. It prompted me to start seeing people more like she does.

^ awesome story dude. Like the end of "A Time to Kill"... "I thought our children could play together", Matthew Mconaghey to Sam Jackson.

It seems like some force is trying to keep races separate in my family. My brother's best friend, who happened to be black, drowned after jumping off a waterfall and having an asthma attack midair, then my bro got hit by a car and died... then my other brother's best friend, who also happened to be black, shot his face off playing Russian Roulette and drinking gin, then my other bro died in his sleep last year... so maybe I should keep my black friends at a distance lol.... any black homies wanna be my best bud??

That's not a creative color.
