I see. I thought that might have something to do with it.
Personally I don't look to "gangsta rappers" or "hoodlums" as ambassadors of blackness or acting on behalf of black people. I think that anybody that does is an idiot.... (or perhaps sheltered like I imagine your Japanese friend to be as I'm under the impression that there aren't many black people in Japan as most, if not all Japanese are Asian and most non-Asian foriegners in Japan are white.)
Anyway... I respect and agree with your outlook. The problem is not with her culture, it's with society (regardless of race)
