Did we declare K.Dots TPAB a "Pro Black" album or was it assigned for us?

Brun really said pro white dont mean racist in america. Literally pissing on the graves of the ancestors to defend a rapper that isnt even being attacked. Pitiful
Kendrick fans can be that desperate brotha

Willing to go that far to prove a point in defense for this nikka.

Yes, this how people usually look at it as an outsider but would you call a person that's pro-italian and takes pride in being an Italian, racist?
semantics.
Whiteness in the United States has superseded ethnicity. It's a mass. If you rep that, you're a racist.

@BigJohnsons

Yet nikkaz love to put their blindfold on when it comes to their daddy 2pac who Interscope did the same way with only mixed with a street image after gangsta rap & Death Row blew as well as hangin with those NY street cats. Same shyt. He came from a revolutionary FAMILY, doesnt mean
he was one. Which revolutions did he start? What did he do that was SO different than those artists posted? That post-death shyt.

Now, to his credit, what he did do was be able to converse in a intelligent way his thoughts. But still no different than Chuck D, KRS etc. But he definitely was good at that tho.

Post-deathers will obviously neg this truth.

I know what you mean but whiteness in the USA is still heavily, ethnically distinct. Italian, Greek, Irish and German Americans are common identifications over simply just "white" american.

That's not what I said. I said it doesn't have to be. Pro-black basically meant pro or proud-Afram..saying you're a proud Italian, German, Irish etc..American is still along the same lines but we don't look at Pan-Europeanism the same as we look at Pan-Africanism for obvious reasons.

:comeon: Im not really defending kendrick as much as Im making a point about what pro-black is in the broadest sense.

That's quite rare and whites are more intermixed than we are. Once the "white" classification became a pass, those ethnic groups mattered a lot less. It's a personal/friendly/by choice type thing...like being in a club. Means nothing more than that and it's definitely not the same as being black.
Greek/Italians/etc can even join WPOs now.

I would say white people in Northern areas of the USA are more ethnically individualized and take pride in their distinctness rather than just being "white".

Columbus: No white ethnicity, just vestiges like "italian village/hungarian village"...there are no more of them. A lot of "Smiths".
Cleveland: Still has a "little italy" etc...but "Smiths" are the majority of whites there...Smiths being: WASPS

I was trying to look up ethnic enclaves and ran across this. I guess it does somewhat confirm what I always thought about Southern Whites having a more generic "white" identity
