That's what the "officials" had to say:
Russell Simmons' Hip-Hop Summit Action Network (HHSAN) has released a statement revealing its position on controversial lyrics Eminem wrote about African-Americans in a rap recited in 1993.
[...]
Dr. Benjamin Chavis, President of HHSAN, said that the race card is often used to divide the hip-hop culture.
"Hip-hop culture transcends race," Chavis noted. "We, therefore, must be careful as to how the race card is played to divide people rather than to encourage unity in the struggle for freedom, justice and equality for all."
The support of Simmons' non-profit organization comes on the heels of Eminem apologizing for the remarks, saying they were made out of anger and frustration.
[...]
The Source has refused to take the raps as "foolishness," as Eminem put it in a retort. "These are racist remarks by someone who has the ability to influence millions of minds," said editor-in-chief Kim Osorio to New York Newsday.
The tape is the latest in a series of insults hurled at each other, which includes diss records from both sides, The Source printing articles and posters aimed at discrediting Eminem and Eminem smashing his Source Award to pieces this year at Hot 97's Summer Jam concert.

Yeah, an even if he was being racist against blacks on purpose, the tape is ten years old and of little significance today. He was just venting a little frustration, that's all.

--- Quote from: Trauma on November 20, 2003, 06:26:20 AM ---Yeah, he's racist, he obviously doesn't like White people. The only 3 he knows are Kim, Hailie, and Jimmy Iovine, He makes songs about Killing Kim, he HAS to work with Jimmy; so I guess he only likes 1 white person in the world.

Is D-12 really his homies? I mean, we don't know that. Everyone thinks Snoop and Dre are real homies, but they're just co-workers. I see the same thing with Em and D-12. Contract homies. Almost everyone in Hip Hop are contract homies. I think C-N-N are the only real homies out there.
Again, since none of us are close to Eminem or D-12, we wouldn't know their real relationship.
I got a good example. I don't like MOST Salvadoreans that I meet. But, I still have 4 or 5 friends, good friends at that, who are Salvadorean. Either way, I still dislike Salvadoreans. So, just because Em is "friends" with D-12, doesn't mean he's not racist. And, just because he made this tape, doesn't mean he is racist. I've made racist jokes, I don't think I'm a racist.
