Line 151:
* A non-urban version is lampooned in Alan Jackson's 1994 hit song "Gone Country", although the song is often misinterpreted as being in favor of such a masquerade.
* Canadian reggae artist [[Lampshade Hanging|Snow]] (born Darrin O'Brien) was often accused of this simply because, well, [[Exactly What It Says on the Tin|just look at his stage name]]. However, like Eminem, Snow came by it naturally, having grown up in the housing projects in Toronto that had a lot of Caribbean immigrants and thus was exposed to reggae and dancehall throughout his formative years. Having the best-charting and best selling reggae single in North American history helped too.

** Presidential candidate Rick Perry, during controversy over a property of his named "[[N-Word Privileges|Niggerhead]]", referred to African-American candidate Herman Cain as "brother" during a debate.
* While reading a poem by a black poet, a black student was told by his white teacher to read it "blacker." The teacher then demonstrated what she meant. The results were [https://web.archive.org/web/20130225072823/http://www.theroot.com/buzz/teacher-student-read-poem-blacker not pretty].
* There are some who believe Elvis Presley "stole" the music of African American artists. [[Rule of Cautious Editing Judgment]] applies here.
