I do want to add imagine you are a poor black kid in the inner city. You have relatives who have been in jail. You would understandably have a lot of anger. You have two options. Rappers from your neighborhood who sing angry songs. And they wear the chains, caps, of all the people on your block. Then you have Condoleezza Rice former Provost of Stanford University which you never heard of all coifed up in the White House. Who would you relate to better? We also forget that there actually are a lot of religious blacks in the inner city who really are turned off by rappers.
