informed by what though? you don't say so how do we know? i think the 
article raises some great points.

for instance:

For those who insist that even the invisible structures of society 
reinforce racism, the burden of proof should rest with them to 
explain just why hip-hop's bloody and sexist lyrics and videos and 
the criminal behavior of many rappers wouldn't have a powerfully 
negative effect upon whites' conception of black people.

as far as i know,  Ben, your opinion of this idea is that it is 
garbage. could you explain why?
