Do you listen to Hip Hop? If yes, than why arent your brains blown out on facebook live? Is it because you arent dumb? If yes, than why are you not dumb?
At some point black folks are going to hold ourselves to a higher standard than "The Music made us do it".
The thing is -- not all people are smart enough to make their own choices well.
That's what culture is for -- so the young and/or dumb make reasonably "productive" choices automatically, tempering their animalistic, egotistic inclinations without them having to think for themselves.
Every culture has its share of dummies. Our culture (thanks to the breakdown of the family and community and traditions) is not guiding our dummies very well.
...And "gangsta" hip hop definitely isn't helping. It feeds into the negative inclinations of impressionable young people who are just forming their identities, instead of suppressing the negative inclinations.
"Gang gang" hip hop is c00ning, and it's an insult to the legacy of hip hop.
The music didn't make them do it. But the music feeds into it, and makes them think stupid choices are the right choices.
