Sometimes when I’m feeling bad about myself, I like to watch the Christan tv channel and it makes me feel better about myself. There’s this one show that had nothing but Christian rap, and I’ve noticed that 95 persent or so of the Christian rappers are white? Is there a reason for this? Why don’t blacks become Christian rappers?

Oh, there have been some. SFC comes to mind. I’m not into rap, so I forget the others.

The other point is that when you say “Christian tv channel”, I’m betting you mean TBN, which is whiter than white. The Crouches are not only really fake, they’re really white.

And I say that as one of the more churchified, white boys on the board.

They do. I would actually say their are more black Christian rappers than white.

For instance, MC Hammer. I believe all he does now is Christian rap. They are considered old school now, but check out “Please Don’t Pass Me By” and “Pray”.

Exactly. I also have notice most Christian rappers are black, actually. Just not those on television.
