The types of music he refers to could easily be Eminem or Iggy Azalea.

It's crazy to think that Trudeau was specifically talking about black people
Man that's a head scratcher. In the US, of course talking about fatherless communities means primarily black and to a lesser extent other visible minority. It's been talked about for years. The statistics prove it. You can interpret that with racial bias and ignorance or realize the greater problems of economics and classism. That's up to you. But it's not much different in Canada...

So when you're talking about single parent, in particular single mother, communities, you're talking about visible minorities, not random rednecks outside Ottawa. When you're saying these communities need more positive role models (single mothers are obviously not good enough) you're ignoring the reasons these stats exist.

Iggy Azalea and Eminem produce what kind of music again? Of course Trudeau is talking about hip hop whether it's created by white people or not. It's the genre not the token white constituents.
