I mentioned before back on SOHH my school did the same thing. I'm assuming it was common in schools that were mostly black.

He wasn't given a pass, and he was asked about this song and others.
Around 25 years ago.
Cube had everyone from Billboard to politicians coming at him. People boycotting his music, telling his label to drop him.
As I mentioned earlier in the thread Rolling Stone magazine even flat out asked him "do you hate white people?"
He was too popular to sink at the time. So eventually all that died down. So somebody bringing up this song in 2015 ain't gonna do anything. It's been a dead topic since the early 90's.
R. Kelly still gets hit with questions because his situation happened a lot more recently, and it was a part of mainstream media. Dave Chapelle was clowning him for fukks sake. He'll probably never completely live that down.

Cube not being marginalized or black-balled as an anti-white racist=given a pass. Him being asked about his pro-black/anti-white lyrics in the past doesn't negate that. Being given a pass doesn't mean that he hasn't caught any backlash over the damn near 30 year career. The fact that he's not blackballed is proof that he's been given a pass. Dude sold out. It is what it is. You don't hold any weight tryna argue with me on this either, for obvious reasons.
I'm not in the business of trying to "hold weight" with strangers on message boards.
Cube has already answered virtually any question you could think of, concerning his lyrics. They tried to black ball him, and it failed.
He weathered the storm and moved on to doing movies and mostly went the indie route with his music. If you're asking why nobody boycotted "Are We There Yet" over some shyt he wrote 20+ years ago....because nobody cares any more. But the shyt you're asking why didn't they do....they tried to do from every angle. Maybe you're too young to remember, I dunno.
Regardless, if you want to say "he sold out", or some conspiracy about how white people bought him off....

I loved it. Songs like this are reasons a can't take a rapper like kendrick serious with his faux militant records.
Kendrick is 3-4 yr older than cube was when he made this. 3 yeras older than pac when he died. Yet you could tell his nuts aint nothing like the throwback militant rappers,whom he desires to get compared to.
