It annoys me when people try to be self-righteous and pretend to not know what someone is talking about just because they used the wrong language,.
We all know what he was talking about, and he wasn't being racist, he was trying to describe a culture that is not racial but some races claim that they "own" that culture, but the culture he was speaking of is not specifically racial.\
Does it make you feel good to call someone else a racist? Does it make you feel like less of a racist when you call someone else a racist?
I think those are more interesting questions.

Got to agree with you Alex.
Lots of people are aghast that this man should say young white people are influenced by black culture. Just because it's uncortable to hear in this instance doesn't make him wrong. White people have been influenced by black culture for years: Jazz, blues, rock and roll, soul, hip-hop... they're all from black culture and have all been influential to white people.
