He also had a Gun pulled on him by a group of dudes
Why be mad at Eminem for talking about his harsh realties regardless of race he experienced discrimination and nearly lost his life as a teenager in Detroit but the moral of the story is your struggles make you stronger that's all Eminem was saying

Go to a Jay Z, Kanye West, Nelly, Snoop Dogg, T.I, Drake, Nas, Dead Prez, Mos Def or any other known Rap Artis concerts and you will see a predominantly white crowd
The record sales black Artists get come from white teenagers as well so any black Rap Artist who sell's Platinum or more has a majority white fan base buying their records, downloading their records from I Tunes and attending their concers
Just a fact that has been known for a very long time

One or two or three white kids getting bullied does not even out centuries of slavery, jim crow, segregation, and continued institutional racism.
its funny how he even got blacks thinkin his plight was really that serious.......
He a millionaire off the blacks culture. if he was so hurt by how he was treated why he continue to fuck with blacks? revenge maybe? "look I'm eating off of your culture..ha ha ha...... fuck this ****** shit"......
But when did Eminem ever say it did? why is it wrong for Eminem to talk about his struggles with discrimination from child hood?
He is only being honest and expressing his life and what he experienced in Detroit as a teenager living in the hood and in poverty with no hope

besides, you can buy tickets to the show, but you can't buy the culture.
and i have never seen stats to back up your claims of records sales.
i never bought an album and filled out a survey about my race.
Well what i'm saying is actually based on industry re search it's actually true alot of re search has been done on who buys Hip-Hop records
Point was simple every Platinum or Multi Platinum selling black Rap Artist has a majority white fan base just like Eminem

What white privilege??????
Eminem is the eptome of a working class Inner City blue collar raised invidual as far as being white as a popular figure in modern America
He grew up in a poor and dangerous City Detroit in a single parent home with a mother on welfare who was a drug addict, grew up in public housing systems and was even homeless at one point, worked a minimum wage job washing dishes to feed his daughter, lost his uncle and had to change schools often
Very troubled and harsh live growing up in Detroit's poorest and dangerous hood's from the age of seven
Did he say him being white as a Rap Artist helps him appeal to white listeners? yes he has said that countless times
But just understand his life and struggles from child hood to even as an adult catching a case for pistol whipping to drug addiction to losing his best friend

Since they talked about his Detroit roots and early career I was hoping they'd delve into his earlier bigotry especially since he tried to pull the racist card, how can you on one side complain about these people treating you like an outsider and skeptical about you being in their culture when you go home and talk about not being with that ****** shit?
I guess their journalism isn't that thorough though.

white people may consume the culture.. but black people are of the culture.. and sometimes.. sadly consumed by the culture.. white people can too....White ppl are going to be the biggest consumers of anything that raises to a certain level of popularity based on sheer numbers.. But what does that really mean and what are you trying to say shady.... Eminem like Sboogie alluded to is a benefit of white privilege his existence and his level success is based on the novelty of his whiteness, shit scores of white ppl.. hated rap.. were on this rap is crap shit.. but eminem entered the fold.. he was the greatest rapper ever. hes more of a rocker in rappers clothes.. has skills.. no one doubts.. but the slights he faced pale in comparison to the average dude trying to get a deal.

It was a pretty good interview beside what he said about it was race while people were targeting him for his rhymes. He obviously has no concept of Hip Hop History cause Blacks have had to deal with racism and criticism in Hip Hop from Day 1. He acts like he was the 1st rapper to ever be criticsm. GTFOOH. SMH @ anyone acting like Blacks didn't have to struggle to even get this culture respected or heard. N.W.A. and tons of other rappers were criticized for their lyrical content while Eminem was making racist raps against Black People. At the end of the day this is a Black Culture that is "SHARED" with everyone, don't ever forget where it came from Eminem cause you are playing the "Victim" card when rappers have had to deal with Hell from day 1.

Elvis sold more than his Black Contemperioes also, doesn't change the History Black people created it, built it and made it possible for Elvis and Eminem to even sell a record. Eminem not caring about what I said is irrelevent to the FACT Blacks have had to deal with hell to even bring Hip Hop out. Eminem is acting like he's some "Victim", SMH. Try being Black and rapping in the Late 70's and Early 80''s then get back to me about having to endure "Racism" and "Criticism".

I don't think you see the point either. Any MC coming up had to endure certain hardships. Ask, short and hammer about coming to Philly and NY and getting booed off stage. Em is, not the Victim he is making himself out to be. He's acting like he's Jackie Robinson or Hank Aaron.

WAIT HOLD UP? I just grasped this I think...are you all saying Eminem was talking about race there? It was about his offensive language towards Gays. SMH catching racial feelings when is wasnt about race at all.
