I believe he is right on. This new rap and gangster culture is degrading the black community. How can you possibly be proud to be black these days when all you see are music videos made by blacks about breaking the law, sex, drugs, violence, ect.? How would MLK feel when he sees what his dream has become?
 

 ... you really don't know anything about rap music, do you?


they don't listen to it they just assume. when a lot of music that is predominately listened to by whites talk about the exact same subjects only in a different style.

prostitutes, booty, drugs, violence, yar yar yar it's all the same but it's easier to blame something they are not associated with.

I'll throw in proof to make half the people on here look like even more idiots...yes you don't expect non-whites to infiltrate your music and expose all the B.S. you distribute from blacklisting an entire genre of music. Unfortunately for you I actually listen to the stuff...

Even though I love Tim armstrong they can boast about fucking 50 crackwhore prostitutes but some G. on BET talks about the same it's an atrocity. White is right, right?

Oh better yet lets hear one of you morons blame hip-hop for the stuff said in this music because everybody knows punk and hip-hop is beginning to fuse. That's why I can walk down ATL and spot 5 black kids with fauxhawcks.

But you don't see whites committing crimes in the same numbers as black do. Obviously it's not because of the music that they do such things, it's just that said culture glorifies crime and they ACT on those notions more than whites.

Again you're looking at things like a simple American douchebag, I can sit here all day and tell you the rehashed arguement that the amount of blacks in poverty compared to whites is much greater, mention the racial issues during the time of integration which is more than likely the cause of blacks creating this mindset of non-conformity (Uncle Tom if you will) which nobody seems to ever mention...but in the end you're just going to believe what you want to believe. If you think blacks are naturally more belligerent than any other ethnicity in the world then I'm not gunna jump leaps to convince you otherwise. This is LW after all and I mean it's not like you matter.

No you are totally right. Just ignore the hell hole that is Africa. I never said they are more belligerent as a race, i said that currently they are committing crimes at very high numbers which isn't always caused by poverty.

And as for me not mattering, who the fuck are you to make such comments. I'm the one working on my masters degree, going to law school, getting an army commission, and entering politics in about 10 years. So i think i can safely say that as a whole i matter far more than you do.

Oh ouch. I think I busted your ego so bad that you had to boast your upcoming *many* accomplishments. You go Mr. Super Trooper Sir you're obviously better than me, I don't know what the hell I was thinking talking down to your level. And to clarify...you don't matter to me no matter what opinion you hold. Now chill the hell out.

Anyone, please don't flame me but correct me if I'm wrong.

I think people should be proud of their heritage, and if rap/hip hop/etc evolved from it, then fine.  As far as being degrading to women and portrayal of crimes, there'splenty of 'white' media that does this, too.  Almost all the girls I know who are black are very strong women and don't feel they have to adhere to what they see on TV (in fact I think white women are much worse in that regard). I think black people are just as capable of separating reality from fiction as any other race.

They don't really appreciate that one. They really seem to hate that concept that someone should not be judged by their skin color, but instead by their merits or the content of their character.
Tell me what do YOU think is the content of the character of blacks? Oh yeah we know...
