93. I don't know
Given that you are the one that is asserting that race is the motivator for their behavior, I think that's a fact that you should know. I think you need to wake up to the fact the the power elite have only one motivation: Money. Race, religion and everything else are mere sideshows. Their true motivation comes from getting money and the power it brings. If marketing "rebellious" black hip-hop artists means massive amounts of money, that's what they will do. Race is irrelevant. Money is their only God.
