actually, in truth, rap isn't strictly "black" music.
Heard of The Beastie Boys? White band 
& pretty much what rap was originally. It was simply adopted & changed by black artists until what it became largely what it is now.
& some people simply don't like rap & hip hop, not because a majority of contemporary artists in the genre are black, but because of the way it sounds, & possibly because of a lack of diversity in lyric subject matter.
Personally i like some rap, just not the artists who make a bunch of catchy pointless songs.
such as about how rich they are, how "gangsta" they believe they are, or how much sex and/or drugs they're getting. Or any of that superficial ego-trip bullcrap.
i like lyrics i can identify with, or that evoke a feeling, etc
Not that i don't like some of the ones that are just catchy, funny, or sound cool too though haha.

To start, my theory is, if you dont like rap or hip hop or anything like that, your racist!! because its black music and you hate it cause its how they like it!!
(DISCLAIMER! my use of the words they, black and/or any other offensive words were accidental. please feel free to inform me if your offended and i wil apologise!)
Any other theories? please post, id like an insight as to whether other aspies are like me!
My thesis: There are two kinds of people: those who divide the human race into two kinds of people and those who do not.

Somewhat related:
I had a theory a long time ago that cats and/or dogs would learn to talk.
It came from those videos people take where cats and dogs say 'hello' - there seem to be already instances where animals can mimic words; why would they not evolve to use language?

I've had TONS of theories over the years- I went through a phase of being a conspiracy nutjob.
One of the ones I STILL believe in is that Tupac is alive in hiding, recording with artists like Elton John, who are sworn to absolute secrecy about it.
Oh, and in my mind, MJ didn't die. He, like Tupac, faked his death to get out of doing the concerts at the O2. He was in too bad a shape to actually do the concerts, even though just days before he "died" he looked brilliant in rehersals. He is currently recuperating in secret, the infamous ambulance pic that OK printed was staged.
*ducks flames*
