\"ghetto-party\"<\/a><\/p>\n

So-called “ghetto parties,” like the one depicted above, were only one of the topics Racialicious<\/em>‘ Carmen Van Kerckhove, writer Jason Tanz (Other People’s Property<\/em><\/a>), and I addressed when we met a few years ago to discuss “White People and Hip-Hop.”<\/a> (Since you’re wondering, my favorite detail is the “TUPAC LIVES” tattoo on the bicep of the red-scarfed brunette, middle row.) Arguably, the types of interactions white people have with the culture are far more varied.<\/p>\n

More, the question became, how should we see these contacts when people have them? What do they mean for the culture of hip-hop? How do they affect, or describe, the larger issue of race?<\/p>\n

I didn’t necessarily expect it would be, but the piece<\/a>, for me, turned out to be a major moment, and touchstone, in my work attempting to clarify these critical subjects. (It was podcasted on Addicted To Race<\/em><\/a>, Racialicious<\/em>‘ internet series, in 2007.)<\/p>\n

Of course, I’ve also addressed these issues, here, on MEDIA ASSASSIN, and in other places; for example, my “Fight the White Rap History Rewrite”<\/a> post on rapper Asher Roth, or “The Unbearable Whiteness of Emceeing: What The Eminence of Eminem Says About Race,”<\/a> which I wrote for The Source<\/em>.<\/p>\n

However, after doing so once, before, a couple of years ago, I’ve decided to re-air this talk with Carmen Van Kerckhove and Jason Tanz. They’re guests, today on my WBAI-NY \/ 99.5 FM radio show, NONFICTION, this afternoon, Friday, March 12, at 2 pm ET.<\/p>\n

You can hear their ideas, and my own, by tuning in at 2 pm. If you’re outside of the New York tri-state, check out our live stream<\/a> on the web. If you miss the live show, dig into our archives<\/a> for up to 90 days after broadcast.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
