Color-Blind Ideology and
the Cultural Appropriation
of Hip-Hop
Jason Rodriquez
University of Massachusetts–Amherst


This  article was a good read and  I found topic to be very interesting . Now the article is about how white youths socially appropriate hip-hop by Obeying to the demands of color-blind ideology. Therefore this article was filled with ton of great facts , but  the thing that I found to be very exciting was the methods the researcher  use to gather his data. For instance  instead of reading songs or books he actually put him self in to the hip hop cultural and I found to be amusing in since that the method was different but the best way to get data for this topic . therefore  he went to twenty conscious hip-hop shows over the fifteen-month period , also thirty-two interviews with white audience members. Thus  this  type method prove to be very helpful and it give the researcher a chance to see what he is researching with his own eyes .
