Dear Makeda,
Being the grandmother of a biracial 11 year old boy who is very into hiphop, I would very much agree with what you say. I was just not capable of another discussion of any intensity at the moment and so I left it alone. I am sure that Caroline did not mean any offense. She also lives in England and I am not sure what forms the genre has taken as it crossed the Atlantic.
PS: My grandson is coming to spend the week with me starting on Wednesday, everybody! I just love this kid! He is a funny, smart, most beautiful child. I CAN"T WAIT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Regards,
A'isha
