My that’s questionable comes from the guest lecture on March 6th. The speaker is Native American and was talking about life on the rez. She showed us a video clip of a Native American girl singing rap music. She made a comment that this girl was trying to connect to the African American culture. I am wondering why? Not being part of a minority, I can not relate to minority pride. In the context of how she said it though, she made it seem like the girl was proud to be looked down upon. This does not make sense to me. It is important to be proud of who you are, but why would you be proud of being looked down upon?

As I had stated in class, as well as my That’s Questionable, from last week, I definitely agree that the relationship between Indian rap and black rap is very far fetched. The relationship between the two is only insofar that they both feel ‘oppressed’ by the ever-evil white man.
