Ultimate Fighting champion can't fight in Canada. He claims racism is the reason. I didn't know until recently how alive and kicking racism was in Canada until recently, but now that I have heard a few things I wouldn't be so surprised if his claims are true.
Speaking of Canada, I found this article about... well its about a lot of things, but "stop snitching" is the big part. I just wanted to pull this quote because this relates to my Rap vs Hip Hop blog a few days ago. Here is another journalist sighting a few mass marketed rappers from TV and radio and declaring them black culture. In a sense this writer is saying black people are violent, misogynistic, and sexually aggressive, and they are saying that because TV proves it to be true to them. "It's impolite to say so, but these pathologies are in a sense cultural. Just listen to the lyrics of 50 Cent, Cam'ron -- also known as "Killa Cam" -- or any other big-name rapper, where violence, misogyny and sexual aggression are celebrated. Too many urban black youth believe that respect and status are obtained only with a gun. (By contrast, there are other visible minority groups -- Sikhs, Koreans, Chinese -- that also face poverty and racism, yet for whom status is measured by, say, education and family unity." And I continue my fight to stop the big market music industry from destroying the world.
Every day for the next few days I'm going to put up another part of several part series of Jordan Maxwell's called "Who Controls the World?" Here is part two.

I think the reasons behind particular races/culture needs to go back to the foundation of our country, a time when the forefathers (and mothers) used the bible as a weapon against black people. They used it to justify slavery, misogyny, and the like, all because someone had dark skin. The modern media is a byproduct of the country's Christian and Protestant background.
I found this interesting bible interpretation that shows how folks used the bible to maintain superiority:
Repression and Superiority
The later repression and discrimination against the freed black slaves received as much biblical and Christian support as the earlier institution of slavery itself. This discrimination and the choice to enslave blacks only was made primarily on the basis of what has become known as the "sin of Ham" or "the curse of Canaan." Occasionally there would also be defenses of the inferiority of blacks by asserting that they bore the "mark of Cain."
We read in Genesis, chapter nine, that Noah's son Ham comes upon him sleeping off a drinking binge and sees his father naked. Instead of covering him, he runs and tells his brothers. Shem and Japheth, the "good" brothers, return and cover their father. In retaliation for Ham's "sinful act" of seeing his father nude, Noah puts a curse on his grandson (Ham's son) Canaan: ?Cursed be Canaan; lowest of slaves shall he be to his brothers" (Gen 9:25).
Over time, this curse came to be interpreted that Ham was literally "burnt," and that all his descendants had black skin, marking them as slaves with a convenient color-coded label for subservience.
