A lot of great political hip-hop has attitudes towards whites that range from ambivalence to outright hostility... what is amusing is that a decent portion of those 'conscious' rappers sell more records in the suburbs than the hood.

Not sure if I would consider Dead Prez 'great' but I think they've got their moments and they certainly fit this bill (although they try their damnedest to sell otherwise).

For good political rap, other than the obvious ones I'd say check out The Coup. "Genocide and Juice" is a good start.
