Hudlin fails on so many levels.
It's straight-out mary sueing and he's proud of it? Black people are supposed to be proud of it?
My god, it's so immature. I hate how he debased Storm, I hate how he turned two African character into African-Americans. I hate the racist/enthocentric tone of his writing, it's obvious that hudlin has learned nothing from history.
"That's what hip hop is all about. Being a bad@$$. Everyone wants to be a bad@$$. That's why white kids have always loved black music -- whether it's jazz, rock and roll or hip hop, black music is the music of bad@$$es, and plugging into that culture makes a suburban white kid feel like a bad@$$, too. And for a generation of white kids who have grown up without an "Elvis"- a white interpreter of black culture-their appreciation of the edgy street culture is shocking even to me."
WOW. Imagine if h-dog was white and talking black people. Hip-Hop is the main pillar of Blackness? Says the man from BET.
I have five hundred bucks staying he grew up in a stable middle-class home. Why else would he be trying so hard to be "street?"
hudlin=FAIL. That is the beginning and the end of it.
