New Brevoort Formspring

As a non-black person of color (a term I dislike but use for convenience), I have to say: Rap is NOT just a black art form. It was created by black Americans, like the superhero genre was created by white American Jews, but they've been adapted and improved upon by countless other people from all races and cultures. No race can claim ownership of an art form: Once you put it out there, it belongs to the world. Chinese rap from Hong Kong is no less genuine than Afro-American rap from Detroit.

There’s some truth in what you say. On the other hand, i think Hip-Hop is still predominantly considered a Black art form, even if there are other practitioners of it, so the point isn’t really off-base.
