I just looked at it like I could relate to pretty much whomever when it came to musical tastes. People react to peer pressure in different ways, though.
You could tell he hated the rap music. He was a black country boy that was trying too hard to fit in with the urban crowd. Whites embraced him fine, but you could tell that he desperately wanted to be embraced by the black community at TAMU. Sad deal, really. He was an awesome dude.

That really must have sucked for him. I don't hate rap or hip hop, but I only listen to the stuff that that I legitimately like.

I know how it feels to feel like you're on the outside looking in in that situation. Especially being an officer in the TAMU College Republicans during the '08 elections
Curiously, I got less backlash from that (most black students I encountered respected me for making up my own mind about politics) than from a couple of loose black females when they figured out I wasn't going to get involved with them 
It's a weird situation. Gotta be very secure in oneself to keep from just trying to fit in to your own detriment. My little brother has encountered the same thing (but is doing well, thankfully).
