Well it just kind of makes me mad..
Blacks use slavery as a sympathy thing when really, how much does it affect them. If they were truly that hurt by it, why do they try to act like badasses instead of being hurt when somebody brings it up?

THAT was a racist statement. Every black person does not use slavery as a "sympathy thing." Further, only some black men act like "badasses." There is a theory that those black men and women that act tough - typically those from rough neighborhoods or poor communities - feel the need to do so in order to be respected and because it is demanded by their peers (I believe it was Chuck Klosterman, but my memory is a bit fuzzy on the source). White men and women raised in similar neighborhoods act exactly the same as black men and women in similar situations.
Did you know that the WHITE MAN who runs the record lable has funded 3 BILLION DOLLARS into rappers using the words ni@@a hoes, and alot of other dialog to lead black people into distruction, DID YOU KNOW that the white man gave the Natives alcohol, did you know that you what people are always tellin black people that they it happened 400 hundred years ago yet today they have know problems living off the wealth that the slave trade has brought their familys,
It is a true injustice to look at the effect of something and not the cause.

This is also a racist statement. And just to clarify, there are/have been any number of music labels not only run by black men and women, but also founded by black men and women. Examples include Death Row Records and Scarface Records. In fact, Death Row Records has sold nearly 50 million units worldwide, generated close to $750 million in revenue (source).
