And not sure what the heck you’re talking about with the the “NO HOMO” and “minstrelsy metamorphorses” stuff…but hey

I’m not really saying, white people are closet readers of black authorship, I’m just wondering, again because it’s not publicly evident, if there is a literary cross over (much like hip-hop, that cross over is very self evident) and if there is, why we don’t see it and if not, why?

Not sure what point you are making with the ethnicity/authenticity statement. Are you agreeing or disagreeing with yourself (earlier, I said, I like the statement)

anyway,music is a different thing since black music for the last twenty years or so has pretty much been mainstream and crossed over to own the pop charts and the North American masses. So it’s very common to hear black music at damn near every party across the landscape. The minstrelsy metamorphorses common in some of my brethren when a “thug,ghetto” type song comes on is very questionable. But why is it looked down upon even to the point of the phrase “NO HOMO” being uttered when a black or Latino kid talks without slang or confesses their love for academic things that are still seen as “White,” even in the hustlin’-go gettin-make that money hip hop culture of now and even in spite of our current U.S President?

I don’t know of white folks in the closet liking black books,maybe the “hood lit,” or black porn or something. It’s not the 50s and 60s anymore when reading black books were considered contra band in some places.

Far as ethnicity being authentic: you go ahead and call a dark skinned Latino or even an African immigrant black? Watch what they say.
