Subject: Are we biased?

We all look at Eminem, and certain things come to mind. For a lot of people, it's "corporate puppet", or "phony" or "rich white boy". But are we biased?

I've been thinking about this a lot. Yeah, ok. He's rich now. Guy's not really wanting for anything. But, supposedly, he wasn't always. He came from pretty low, I understand. So...why are we attacking him? He's not really the first person to say this stuff.

BUT HE'S WHITE!

Aha. There it is. You're supposed to be black for this kind of music. It's an unspoken rule.

Eminem's white.

ASSHOLE!

And the media attacks.

So...here's the question.

Are we biased? Shouldn't we at least TRY and look at this from a different point of view?
