According to rapper A$AP Ferg, racism is officially in the past, thanks in large part to the Internet and interracial dating.
Ferg’s view on race relations came to light during a recent interview with NPR, where he claims that Nick Jonas is a fan and that Madonna‘s son uses his song “Work” as a ringtone.

That’s what it is about this culture of the Internet,” Ferg theorized. “Is everything is merged. There’s no racism with the Internet. Racism only was—is probably like five generations ago…Racism is for—I wouldn’t say generations. Yeah, like five generations ago. Racism been over. It’s the old people that keep on holding on to it. We don’t hold on to that s—. We don’t know racism. We all like having—like my brother had white—my little brother had white girlfriends. And that’s regular, like.”
However, despite Ferg’s dubious claims, a quick scan of current news headlines reveals that racism in America is still alive and kicking, even on the Internet.
He tried clarifying his remarks: "must to be clear, I am fully aware racism still exists," he relayed via a Twitter post . "The point I was trying to make that within the group of like-minded, progressive thinking people that I interact with, racism and separatism doesn’t exist to the extent that it did generations ago."
