Why are most hip-hop bloggers not Black? I wrote my thoughts on this
last year (here-
http://dieselnation.blogs.com/hiphop/2003/12/hiphop_blogging.html)
But now it's coming up again in our circle. Oliver Wang and Jeff
Chang are Asian Americans, Byron Crawford, Trader Mike, David of
Sleep Not Work, Eric Nord, and on and on are White. Jay Smooth is
half and half (I'm not saying that to "discredit" him. Just making
things clear.) El-Keter is Jewish.
What the deal?
Is this another example of the Digital Divide?
Is this another eample of the "Unbearable Whiteness of Blogging"?
Or is this a positive thing, showing how wide the spectrum of hip-hop
fans are out there?
What do you guys think?
