BLACK SKATERS X LUPE

Yesterday Black skaters were looked down on. Posers, fake, oreo's, "white boy" or just plain ol LAME. People attempting to copy another hobby from another race. Today, Black skaters have become more and more accepted on the scene. Is it only because artist like Lupe Fiasco produce and put out songs like "Kick, Push?" or is just the cool thing to do now-a-days? Musical influence at its best.
