Because he's influencing one hell of alot of young people, black and white who, because of his music see him as a role model and if that influence includes blatant racial hatred or intolerance then it should be vilified the same as it would be for anyone else who preaches or practices this kind of crap.
As far as I'm concerned by taking this racist stance good old Jay-Z has elevated his game to the level of the Grand Imperial Wizard or that asshole Fred Phelps.
None of whom should be allowed to further their hate filled agenda's without serious consequences.
Such as what? They do have freedom of speech down there. So the consequences would have to come from society by not buying his crap and making a stink. Doubt that will happen tho.
There are all sorts of not so nice things that could happen to assholes who advocate racial hatred. For him the most obvious would be career suicide but you're right that won't happen since he'll probably become a hero to another generation of black youths who feel disenfranchised and need to be told by a racist they're superior to everyone else.
Although, now that his views are out in the open he's fair game for anyone who disagrees with him and his hate filled views but, we likely won't see much of a pushback because of the "whiteman's guilt" syndrome that seems to pervade pretty much every aspect of polite North American Society.
