81. I didn't say it was only poor white males that listen to Eminem.
I know he is a uniter in terms of race, as well. More people like him than who he is singing to, though.

I was making a story about the people I know that listen to him. It is true that a lot of whites don't have a problem getting loans. But poor whites brought up in a single parent household with no credit record do. In fact, I know quite a few that would like to go back to school if they could get a loan.

Obviously, Eminem is big enough to appeal to all demographics. But I feel his core base is with his poor, disenfrancised white males. I didn't mean to make it sound like that is the only type he appeals to, though.
