Why do white people listen to hip hop?

Considering most of hip hop was started by people who were 5 percenters and Nation of Islam supporters who believe whites are genetically inferior sub human devils created by evil scientist 6600 years ago a lot of hip hop is clearly anti white

    MTV, radio stations and the record industry market it to them, because white suburban kids have money.  In the 80's and early 90's white kids who listen to rap had a real appreciation for it, and usually made fun of by other white people, before it was popular.  

    If you watch the opening of the movie Office Space, the Michael Bolton character is a good example of one of those guys.  The creator of the film Mike Judge grew up a big fan of Scarface and the Ghetto Boys, which is why you hear their music in the soundtrack. There are obviously some rappers that have an anti-white sentiment in their music, and are really about that stuff, but I don't think it's a ton.  Most of the time its fake, and just pandering to a black audience.  The majority of the people putting those artist on happen to be white label execs, exploiting them.
