No, like every fukking member of the coli do
Funny thing is, Gil Scott spoke on guys like OP is talking about some 40+ years ago.
Gil Scott Heron -- Brother:
There's nothing wrong with wanting better and more positive images
Please tell me where David Baner adhered to any of the concepts in the OP?
"Single mothers are the cause of the problems in the black community"
"Rap music is causing black men to kill each other and take drugs"
What black person says this
Slavery and the continued oppression afterwards to keep us as 2nd class citizens is the genesis our problems
I rarely see threads on slavery period. THATS what we need to be more educated on.
1) how slavery is STILL affecting us today in 2015
&
2) the economic impact that slavery had in making Amerikkka what it is today. I doubt the average black person looks at slavery from a business/money-making standpoint.
We need to become more aware and knowledgeable of the past. I am a result of this. The more i study the past and gain knowledge, the more "proud" i become in being black. The prouder i become in being black, the more i see things differently. When u look in the past it makes u realize why things are the way they are today.
If black ppl were truly "aware" of the past, there's no way we would be doing things like celebrating Thanksgiving , July 4th,etc. Thats just an example of how blind we currently are.
We have been brainwashed and mentally conditioned for 400+ years now. Yall think im blaming all the worlds problems on rap. No, 1st thats stupid. 2nd, us dancing and singing along to music that promotes our own genocide is a byproduct of the brainwashing of the black race. We think so lowly of ourselves that we find "entertainment" in music that degrades us. Again, the more aware i become the more i find this music
This is exactly why the white man purposely alters and hides the past. They want us to continue thinking lowly of ourselves. They dont want us gaining pride and uniting. They dont want us practicing group economics and circulating our money amongst ourselves. This is why they push sounds & images promoting and glorifying "shoot and kill that n1kka" & "spend spend spend". This is not a "conspiracy". Take a look in the past and you'll see plain as day that brainwashing and the distortion of the black image has been an effective tool for the white man for a very long time.
Every single one of your words typed is wrong. Stop comparing the black community to the white community. We are NOT on an equal playing field. In a few years Miley will apologize and say that she was in a "phase" and all will be forgiven just like whats going on now with Bieber:So why don't you make some threads about that instead of some shyt about rap music
The problem is thinking this is a problem that ails "the black community" since forever young/pop culture has been edgy and viewed as damaging. Hell there was a time when Elvis was seen as filth.
Just the other day at the VMA's they had Miley talking about smoking weed and sucking dikks all night.
It has nothing to do with black people or black culture, its young American culture. You want to fight it then go after the people controlling it, not the consumer.
But beyond any of that, poor influences in pop culture is really the least of our problems. Directing energy on the topic is a waist of time and a distraction.
nikka still spamming YouTube videos, one of a rapper on a declining career, and can't articulate his own thoughts and have not used any historical data or actual research to back up his trolling.
90% of all pop media is sex and violence.Every single one of your words typed is wrong. Stop comparing the black community to the white community. We are NOT on an equal playing field. In a few years Miley will apologize and say that she was in a "phase" and all will be forgiven just like whats going on now with Bieber:

Black people dont have the same leash
That right there is letting me know how ignorant and oblivious to the past you are. But ima let your thread cook and not derail it (even tho i was tagged in here). Ima continue to make threads about how modern-day hiphop is being used in the continuing brainwashing of the black race for white supremacy gain. You are free not to click.
Remember: Study the past and it'll make sense why 90% of easily-accessible mainstream music by black artists promotes and glorifies ignorant, destructive & criminal behavior.
The topic of systemic oppression, which includes "propaganda" is NOT a "waste of time and a distraction". Stop spreading that lie to the people.
I almost agree with everything except for the integration part , you don't really hear white people complain about that because they benefited from it more since were the top consumer in this country most of our bread goes right back into their pockets .... I agree with some of the things you mentioned though .
