'I Can, But You Can't'

I want to thank you for the article, "I Can, But You Can't" (July 2007), by Roland S. Martin. I think he said what many of us have been trying to say for a while. The fact that people say things or speak to other people in "their group" a certain way doesn't give a stranger the right to do the same. Hip-hop fans have an understanding with the artists, so it's not offensive to "most." And to those fans who are offended, then choose less offensive music. It's that simple!

Thanks, again, for getting that across to the rest of the world.
