I'm an admitted stan, but the opinion I'm about to express I've been mulling over for a while.
I detest the "c00n" rhetoric that infests the Coli's most pro black sections. I disagree with Kendrick that the media's influence on a potential "race war" is even worthy of disscussion. I'd rather talk about where we are going to get our weapons and how do we plan on attacking/defending then discuss whatever agent may have brought us to that point. And the media is definitely lower on the totem pool than the actual offenses commited against blacks in america daily.
However, just because we disagree doesn't make me a better black man than him. It doesn't make my opinion more valuable than his just becauss he thinks the media is to blame and I don't, hell, it doesn't even make us enemies.
Kendrick having a different perspective on the same issue doesn't make him a c00n. He isn't actively doing any damage to the black community, if anything, the music he puts out is atleast uniting a select few black people and promoting awareness, which is honestly more than you could ask for from any mainstream rapper not named J. Cole. Kendrick is far from the same level as a Raven Symone or Azealia Banks and it's frustrating that one of the few groups of aware black people around are so willing to throw a potential ally in the same pit so quickly and over something as minor as a different perapective/opinion.
