I didnt make the comment but I will help U out! He probably made the comment out of a lucid understanding of the cultural climate in America! He probably knows the long history of cultural rapping of other cultures by American Capitalist! In fact for a more detailed perspective, he probably understands that when a large cultural force and or movement emerges in African American, Latino, Hispanic, Asian cultures and others, they always become "watered" down for wider consumption, which consequently leads to more money for??????? He probably thought, when making the comment, U know, I have to be honest to myself and drop my racial and National pride, its funny how American commercialism and Capitalism has engulfed cultural movements Like Reggae, Jazz, Blues and now hip-hop! And if he didnt think all this to his self, I sure did when he posted it!
