in which we learn why Snoop can talk s--t about black girls but Imus can't

Via MTV News:
"It's a completely different scenario," said Snoop, barking over the phone from a hotel room in L.A. "[Rappers] are not talking about no collegiate basketball girls who have made it to the next level in education and sports. We're talking about ho's that's in the 'hood that ain't doing sh--, that's trying to get a n---a for his money. These are two separate things. First of all, we ain't no old-ass white men that sit up on MSNBC going hard on black girls. We are rappers that have these songs coming from our minds and our souls that are relevant to what we feel. I will not let them mutha----as say we in the same league as him."

That's right. Permissable targets for derision: poor single mothers in the hood who can't get their rap gangsta superstar boyfriends to spend a weekend with the kid let alone cut a check. Not permissable: basketball players...
Also, what middle-aged black men can say about black women is very different from what old white men can say about black women. Though it seems that in their "minds" and "souls," Snoop and Imus are equally full of it.
