Why do white people get criticized for listening to rap?

[Gigs[JoeyFranchise]]

.....by OTHER white people.
this may not be the case in your area, but in my school, (im a senior in HS), all the other white kids make fun of me for liking rap. they all like rock music, and lil wayne. It isnt like i go around preaching rap, I keep to myself, and listen to my headphones. When they ask what im listening to, and I say "NaS", or "Wu-Tang", they laugh and call me wigger.

God damn i hate the word wigger.

I hate it because, you cant act black. Black is a skin color. Not a lifestyle, IMO. It just bothers me because people say I "act black" because I wear jerseys, Wu-Tang shirts, and Rocawear.

Does anyone agree with me?
Does anyone go through anything similar?

sorry if i sound ignorant or anything in this, but its just how i feel

It shouldnt be, but raps roots remain in blacks for the most part. Its too bad because there have been some great white people that made an impact on the rap game too.

(PS The word wigger needs to be erased from mankind)

just the other day i wore a Wutang clan shirt but i didn't get ridiculed at all. actually i got compliments from people i've never seen before. (PS: I'm white too.)

I agree. Black is a color not a lifestyle.

I'm dark so I don't go through it.

They just mad because they're ignorant fools. F*ck them.
