So you agree that it's a problem of what people choose to listen to and not a problem of what's available?
Wrong, bro. First, "white" Americans are by far the largest group of rap music consumers in America. And second, I'm guessing you've already forgotten about jazz music, blues music, soul music, rhythm & blues, and gospel music? We even have branches of Christian & Muslim rappers who rap about religious things.
If you admit that you don't know, then why make assumptions anyway? A quick google search showed the following
You just seemingly look at tv and focus on black entertainers and black criminals, then act like their words & actions define all of us.
I'm of the opinion that black folks, either by design or choice, simply don't have enough, let alone glorify enough proper role models. More specifically in music but it certainly applies in many other areas.
How else am I supposed to interpret that? You think we don't have enough "proper" role models and also think we don't glorify them, whatever that means.

Or, I just like to hear about playas making it rain in the Champagne Room while sipping on the Kris.

It's what I see from the media that I see. Music and sports and if that's not obtainable, then what? Again, my perception.
It shouldn't even be a conversation and nobody should need to justify the standing of black people. What a shame that it still seems to need pointing out in 2018. I just searched for 'black inventors' and was going to post some examples and realised how redundant it is. It's playing the same old racial stereotypes game and almost a waste of time.
