"Rappers rap about killing other Black men and no one bats an eye..."

[Matt504]

Don't ya freaking get it by now???

When Michael Jackson’s HIStory album was first released in 1995, the Simon Wiesenthal Center was shocked to hear that some of the lyrics in the song, They Don’t Care About Us, contained words like: “Jew me, sue me, kick me, kike me....” The Center immediately protested these obviously antisemitic stereotypes that millions of people would be exposed to, directly to Michael Jackson and demanded that he and Sony Records remove the offensive lyrics from the album.

Michael responded by personally calling Rabbis Hier and Cooper and expressing his deep remorse and then following up with a letter* where he wrote, "Unfortunately, my choice of words may have unintentionally hurt the people I wanted to stand in solidarity with ... I intend to include in all albums that have not been shipped as of this date, the paragraphs above so that no one can listen to my music and misconstrue my intentions." True to his word, not only did he do that, but a week or so later, he went back into the studio, deleted the offensive lyrics, and re-recorded the song.

Michael Jackson: the Museum of Tolerance’s First Visitor

Michael Jackson was the first visitor to the Museum of Tolerance. He requested to

​

come on the Friday before the Museum would open to the public. The workmen were still finalizing the last minute touches when Michael came by. While I’m sure Michael knew about the Holocaust, it was obvious that there was much he didn’t know.

After spending almost 2½ hours at the Museum, he left, clearly deeply moved and brought to tears, by the overwhelming experience.

It’s s disingenuous argument cause never in be history of rap has there been ever been a song about killing Black people.

There’s been songs that tell both fictional and truth-based stories about killing of people who happen to be Black.

But nobody’s every made a song on some KKK rap shyt like “I kill Black people cause they’re Black.”

There are actually a few threads right here on the coli that lay out even more examples of this.

I use this statement when addressing Black people who take offense to his gay statement without taking offense to his other lyrics. Shows no signs of unity and mental weakness.

Just on this site if you bring it up people started saying "what about white gangster movies?" and just being completely dismissive about it

I say what about movies because this shyt is entertainment. Y'all hybrid black cac dudes on here act like it isn't. I know y'all use these dummies doing what they do but there will always be some of those but it isn't representative of most black people that consume this stuff. I'm pretty sure you and most on here have listen to this music and have you then decided to make dope or join a gang because of the music? If so that seems like a sheep problem that most can't relate to on this front.

Um, no. I said nobody makes songs about killing Black people cause they’re Black. And I’m right.

A few punchlines you can find about “hating nikkas like Nazis” from nobody rappers doesn’t change that.

The subgenre of rap that’s about killing and violence is about usually gang and drug/related violence amongst the Black underclass. It isn’t about racist killings of Black people, or any sort of racism animus to Black people for being Black.

Call people like Oprah and Bill Cosby c00ns for speaking out against rap music get mad that cacs and fakkits are not upset with rap music due to its violence




I swear people are confused

More like facts only. Y’all don’t use logic. DaBaby is getting heat because people get he made comments that were disparaging toward a group of people (gays).

His comments made being gay the thing that was disparaged. Street rap or drill rap does not disparage Black people on the basis of them being Black. It promotes violence, murder and mayhem, but not racially targeted violence, murder and mayhem. That’s why any attempted analogy is flimsy. Not that hard.

I get what you're saying but this is an argument you're not going to win on here. People are looking at it as killing blacks regardless. I agree nobody is rapping about killing black dudes just for being black but like the previous sentence says people aren't seeing it from that pov.

That's what happens when folks don't have consistent principles. They look confused and stupid.
