Because white artists can get away with contradicting trends more than black artists can. Usher had his own "Suit and Tie" called "Let Me See" and it didn't even crack the top 40. If Eminem were to come back with some 90's style gangsta hip hop, it would probably race up the charts on the strength of his name. If Nelly tried that, he would flop hard. White artists have much more wiggle room to be defiant, while black artists are now having to be compliant.

The music and entertainment industry has always been bias, bigoted and racist, but it's reached a shocking level of obviousness since the dawn of the 2010's. This is like a return to the segregated 1950s.
