i have heard this several times on many different occasions that 88% of all hip hop/rap is bought by white people..can this really be true? are we really that stupid?

I always wondered where and how they get these "statistics" from? It's not like when you buy a CD,they ask you what race you are!

Bloddy wiggers

Did you know 90% of men buying Kylie records are gay? These are really in-depth polls.

BeatsPerMinute said:

Wiggers? You mean niggers with the N dropped and a W added?

Seriously, that term is fucked up.

sinisterpentatonic said:

Wiggers as in White Niggers, maybe..? Is that where the term comes from?



Does it matter who buys the stuff anyway?

Buy the music you like, and enjoy it regardless.


I hate hip hop. But who cares what I think?

Come on, y'all. Wigger is a dumb and (I think) offensive term that's been around for years. A white person that "acts black," however you choose to define act black.

For somebody that doesn't like hip hop, you sure spend a lot of time obsessing over it. Stop the madness!

RipHer2Shreds said:

thats true but i just want r&b to come back to the mainstream there are so many great artists that have talent that have been getting lost in the shuffle these last few years..man i miss the days of Video Soul

Mazerati said:

Agreed.

RipHer2Shreds said:

NO NO NOOOOO!!! U havent been living the lifestyle. I know PLENTY of white people who define themselves as black or say, "I am just a black man (or girl) trapped in a white body" and all that stuff so dont even try that one.

I know this gay dude that ONLY goes out with black guys and if U call him white or say that he is just a white boy he will get furious!

I don't understand what you're arguing here. Somebody asked what wigger means.

wigger: an offensive term
on par with
nigger
nigga
white trash
ad infinitum

And that was the point I thought I made pretty clearly.

For those of you wondering, the 12% of hiphop that whites don't buy is beatboxing.. a lost element of the culture.

Just so ya'll know, I'm well aware of the defintion of "wigger". I just think it's fucked up people use it.

sinisterpentatonic said:

i find that term incredibly offensive. mainly because it implies that black people are niggers and white people who are so called acting black are white versions of black niggers.

dancerella said:

That's exactly what it means and it's very offensive to both blacks and whites. I'm sick of hearing the word nigger, wigger, whitey, white trash, cotton head. They are all extremely offensive and people should stop using them. For those that think it's cool.....it's not!

0V3RF13ND said:

i make a point to be conscious enough
to never use that verbiage...ever...

0V3RF13ND said:

You weren't calling me a women were you?

sinisterpentatonic said:

Can I call you a woman?

Cloudbuster said:

Only if I can call you a hermaphrodite.

sinisterpentatonic said:

It's a deal!

sinisterpentatonic said:

It really grosses me out how that smiley's mouth turns into a butthole.
