Yeah, I'd say that's degrading to white people. Not being racist here, but if you're born white, you're WHITE. There is no "inner black". Stop being a poser.

As for it degrading women - YES. Have you listened to the lyrics, or do you just block out the numerous derogatory phrases? "Bitches", "hoes", and every word you can think of to mean either breasts or vagina.

Observe:

Male: Whatcha gonna do with all that junk
all that junk inside that trunk..

Female: I'ma get get get get you drunk
get you love drunk off my hump

Male: Whatcha gonna do with all that ass
all that ass inside your jeans

Female: I'ma make make make make you scream
make you scream make you scream
Coz of my humps my hump my hump my hump
my hump my hump my hump my lovely lady lumps


(Song by Black Eyed Peas - My Humps)

I don't even think I have to comment on this one (which is the first song to come to mind, I could do an extensive search on others, but people who are all like, "I LOVE RAP!!!!!!11one" won't listen to me anyways).

It doesn't matter if the women choose to, that makes them skanks who don't mind being objectified. Otherwise, it IS degrading to women. We are not sexual objects for men to OWN. *seething anger*

I am done, I am getting to angry to continue.
