Rural Black youth firearm homicides are fastest growing and have quadrupled since 2013

What about your research on how music impacts youth aggression and leads to increased "drilling and gang culture." Where's your research on that?

Music is one of the biggest ways to brainwash through repetition. Although, this example is more positive… Negro spirituals. Folks were singing some songs about getting free. Now, did 100% of Black people hearing and singing these songs do something proactive towards earning freedom? No. But it was enough to make an impact.

I’m in very rural MS right now. It’s almost shocking that I’ve been coming here all my life and over the last few years I’ve seen gang signs sprayed on buildings. My cousins say there’s a bunch of GD’s and VL’s out here. I never thought it would get here.

I’ll always remember this quote. someone said Chicagoians are just Mississippi nikkas with coats on lol.

This is just the first country town that popped in my head. I’m not talking out of my ass. I interact with these people when I travel & talk to them because I want to know what crime is like before I move anywhere. And, working with kids, I’m hip to what’s going on & I see the shyt is widespread.

I’m not the one to try & pull a “gotcha” moment on. When I speak on something, especially something I see every fukking day, I know what I’m talking about.

Idk why y’all are burying your heads in the sand. It’s ok to criticize the music & listen to it, i promise. It won’t make you less black if you call out the toxicity of drill & gang culture. Kids aren’t experienced enough yet to know that shyt isn’t something to be proud of & it isn’t how the world is supposed to be. I can listen to Gucci & Future on the way to work because I can separate music from life, but KIDS DONT.

I got locked up in Dublin once before and vowed never to take my Black ass down South GA ever again when I lived in Atlanna. Man, hell nawl.

This is not a “rural” area to me. I’d say it’s far from it. It’s literally designated as a city. That by itself probably removes it from being relevant to this study.

What you’re bringing up has absolutely nothing to do with what is written in the research article. It’s just straight up anti-black victim blaming.

Dublin is very much rural. A lot of those towns in South GA & are.
