The Black community continues to be held hostage by the scum of the community..Too many black people don't value black lives.

[CrimsonTider]

Agreed. Matt had a good response to this. I don’t think music is harmless I just don’t think it’s the leading cause in the violence we see today. Instead of banning music we should focus on stressing education, financial literacy, group economics, voting in blocks, healthy nutrition, etc. Rap is a symptom not a cause.

We also should focus on separating criminals from society

 

[timeless]

A lot of self hating c00ns on here. It’s ironic how much they sound like the white people they supposedly hate on here. Bunch a clowns that never went outside.

Right. 50+ years ago a black man and his constituents rounded up hundreds of black men to march up on capital hill to confront white supremacy, but folks in 2022 claim they're hostages in their own communities while white boys bring rifles to walmart and churches. And what does the white community do? Blame the guns they don't even care that they are the real menaces to society because they have black people willing to act as the scapegoat.

As for me, well I'm not a hostage. I actually feel safer amongst my own and I've lived in very diverse areas growing up. Some of my god brothers are gang members and are about that life, but I'm not gonna blame anyone but them for that fukkery. Again, we aren't perfect, but we damn sure aren't the worst.

Y’all bytch made fakkits are intentionally missing the point. I haven’t seen anybody on here talking bout we should wait for the white man to fix our problems, all poor people are deviants, protect the criminals.

1% of the black population are criminals it’s not the purge when you walk outside. All some of us are saying is there are real underlying issues that we need to fix if we want to move forward as a people and it has nothing to do with canceling rap music or over incarceration.

I’d bet real money none of you mfers that are so up in the arms about the youth are willing to go mentor any of them. You fakkits live in a bubble and judge from the comfort of your laptop. The irony of this thread is that it was started over a rapper’s death that promoted the streets. Why do y’all even care? Don’t you hate rap music? Wasn’t he just a glorified thug that should be cleansed from our society?

That's the funniest part

Yeah, no one here thinks the music is a leading cause in violence, it's more like, why are we calling music that celebrates and promotes anti-Black violence "entertainment" and helping to normalize it in our culture when the vast majority of the proceeds from this art flows directly into white people's hands.

We can walk and chew bubble gum at the same time in focusing on education, financial literacy etc while focusing on disincentivizing the creation of anti-Black content. The content should be banned from all streaming platforms because it is anti-Black.

These podcast got major influence

Because they understand that their platforms are built on a foundation of Black dysfunction

I agree again. You say nobody here thinks music is a leading cause in violence but as soon as these kind of topics come around rap music is always thrown into the mix as if it is.

No, it's thrown in to the mix because the music literally celebrates and helps normalize the violence. Instead of focusing on the person that literally murdered a Black man, people finger wagging about them not knowing how to "move around wolves" or adhere to street rules that many people have no real world experience with outside of encountering it in rap music.

The music is anti-Black, vile, obscene and has no place in Black culture and it is the most popular depiction of Black Americans, surely you can appreciate why this is problematic and why many Black people have an issue with it.

You’re taking two different positions. If a thread is created about the violence in our community and how to stop it and you don’t think rap music is a leading cause in said violence then why are you defending it constantly being brought up. It’s a distraction from the real leading causes at that point.

Also let’s call a spade a spade. The celebrities who have been robbed and shot are rappers that think it’s a smart idea to hang out in the hood or surround themselves with that element. You don’t hear about black actors and singers or even conscious rappers getting robbed and murdered. They aren’t being victimized because they most likely aren’t pulling up in a Bentley with jewelry on to a Roscoes in the hood by themselves or hanging around people that think that street stuff is cool. That’s why people are saying you should know how to move. It doesn’t take the blame off the shooter but if you play stupid games you win stupid prizes.

The joe budden podcast with adam22 showed exactly why nothing will change

They would rather blame the media than the criminals (because they're scared of them)

I guarantee you that they saw his car parked outside the resturant

Went inside seen him order food and make that call


Got nothing to do with location etc

None of these criminals want that Walmart/Amazon/wharehouse grind

There’s plenty of jobs available in La..
