Because we're fucking humans you moron. "I'm black, so I get to choose who I accept in my lifetime"... Go fuck yourself. You're the reason intolerance and indecency still permeates Western culture.
Go ahead, view yourself as different from me, or anybody else. You're not. I don't have to know many black people to know that they all shit and piss like I do, or like to have sex, drink, smoke, and party just like I do.....or don't... like my white grandma.
Telling me to get serious and think about the question? What unbelievably idiotic thing to say. True, I'm not in any position to try to wrap my head around Kendrick's artistic statement, and if he ascribes to his blackness, all the power to him. I am however in a position to say that you do not own his music because being black is not a unifying ideology. Maybe I'm out to lunch, but isn't that some of the hypocritical inner-race racism Kendrick is getting at? Just because somebody else is black like you are doesn't make you the same. Sure there are similar struggles, and having somebody to relate to is important... but everybody is their own person. Maybe it would be different if I were part of a minority group, but I would be outraged if somebody expected me to cheer when Obama was elected just because I was black.
But I listen to Kendrick's music, draw inspiration from it, throw it on the speakers at parties, and even see his show when he comes to town. I make my own stuff (albeit post-punk/shoegaze, ie. non-rap music) and I would never expect some white kid across the country to think he owned my music just because he's white too. Fuck that shit man. Stop trying to glorify your existence through race. You're a shitty 4channer living in a shitty world just like me.

I never said what's best. I said fuck you, I will not accept your attempt at ownership over a pop record.
Thanks for bringing me that shoe, it certainly fits, but it really is that simple. Spend a year in Canada. We have rednecks and whitey-killing negroes as well, but the general population will kick your ass or give you flowers regardless of the colour of your skin. It does sicken me that we're only so few decades removed from systemic racism, but entire new generations of people have been born since then. We're not raised to hate anyone, and we fucking don't.
If black people continue to feel the need to 'rise up' as a collective people, shit's never going to change. All it takes is one kid to say "nah, fuck that, I'm gonna do my own thing". Even if you think you look like Kendrick Lamar, he doesn't owe you a damn thing. He doesn't owe me anything either, but at least I can acknowledge that.

I didn't start the thread boygenius.
I said I'm Canadian, LIKE OP.
And there it goes again. A "very white upbringing". THIS ISN'T A FUCKING THING. I don't have a 'white experience' and you don't have a 'black experience'. My upbringing was my dad inseminated my mom, felt obligated help his wife raise his kids and work everyday of his life, and now I shall do the same for mine. You hear the stereotypes that black fathers run out on their families, but I'm not going to go there. Yeah, I was lucky that way. But that's a pretty easy stereotype to break, don't you think? Just be a man and take care of your family...
It's not Candyland here. It's a somewhat functional way of life. We're all just trying to survive, and of course politicians, people in power, heads of corporations, etc. don't have your interests in mind. They don't have mine in mind either. It should be a shock to your system to know that even if you accumulate rich-white-man status and wealth, or become a rap star like Kendrick Lamar, or aspire to be a redneck in a trailer park... you and I are still the same and always will be. It's so unbelievable egotistical and arrogant to think otherwise. Fuck your black experience. Nigger is a word. There's plenty of words in this world. I'm not completely ignorant, I know what's happening in America is not just isolated incidents, but you can't put me in the same bracket as a racist cop just the same as I can't say "STAY AWAY FROM ME, YOU PROBABLY HAVE AIDS LIKE EASY E" .
