Race and Attitude

RnB artist and the actors in there vids always have a bit of attitude. That kind of 'yeah look at me' vibe going on. So i think our actors must have alot of self confidence, attitude and be good looking to be convincing.

However i dont neccessarily think they have to be black! Theses days the big RnB artists arent always black like;
Justin Timberlake
Justin Beiber
Mariah Carey
Robin thick
Who are all white!

And even latino Bruno Mars and Jay sean, who is asian.

So i think we are able to use someone of any race aslong as they have the same kind of attittude and dress.

A perfect and current example of breaking race conventions but conforming to the excessive use of attitude is... Cher lloyd from this years Xfactor!

She wears young modern street clothing.

She has that slight cockyness.

And she is white, but because of the way she infuses rap and singing with her dance moves bursting with attitudes she is seen as an RnB artist.
