Being a drug addict is now "cool". Lil Wayne, Future (who has albums titled Dirty Sprite)
2Chainz, those dirty looking Chicago drill rappers, Meek Mill, even Nicki Manaj has rapped about "poppin perc". And before yall defenders of black genocide music flood this thread talkin bout "bu bu but people were doing drugs before rap", yea you're right but has it ever been made to look cool? has it ever been glamourized? Why would you defend this? Seems like hard drug use is being pushed more to our youth now in recent memory. Remember these words: the best way to conquer a people is to affect the minds' of its youth.

What we need is for intellectual black men to become "cool". Black men who are healthy and fit physically.Black men who takes pride in being the protector of the black community. Not black men who look like zombies:

This is too true.

It's sad that a bunch of Black men will come in here hatin tho.

Sure, it's cool to have a good time and partake in your drink/drug of choice, but it cant all be about that. That shyt got a lot of us lookin like the walking dead. The most i do is drink, and that's only on weekends. We need more positive images on screen and in music.

Agreed!!! I'm all for Black Empowerment. I use to mentor black children during the summer, and would tell them that theres more to life than sports and entertainment. We actually put together a job fair, and invited black people from several different fields to come, and talk with the young kids. Its good for young black kids to see that one can go on to be more than a rapper, or basketball player. Good job OP!! We need more positive posts like this!!!!

Marketing, the black man is literally stereotyped as some hypersexual aggressive ngro, who only cares about sex, money, women, drugs, rap, violence and alcohol.

Who only dreams about the NBA, nfl or rapping.

Trap music

A whole genre of music dedicated to praisin the sale of drugs in the black community and glorifyin those who do it

I wish you'd get jumped by a bunch of drill rappers just so you can stop making these asinine threads

You have to change yourself before you change the world.

Im far from a rapper, but when i be tryna write songs, i been seriously refraining from sayin "nikka", killin my own people, etc.

 

[HoloGraphic]

So be that cool intellectual breh. Break out of the mold.

What makes these guys "cool" is that they are successful and free despite society.

Show the youth a route to freedom, to success and to enjoying life and you can be a similar inspiring force.

And you do that through your own success. Inspire a new empire.

I remember my dad said something that put shyt in perspective for me when I was younger and started listening to rap and noticing drug dealers/users, etc.

Me: "Pops, they flash all that money and have all that fancy stuff, that's what's it's all about now"

Pops: "Son, I got my education and stayed out of that life, but you best believe if I cashed my check every week I'd have a thick wad of money in my pocket too, but I put it in the bank like a wise man because I have a family to take care of and kids to raise. And you know what? After you guys are grown, after i made all that money for all those years, I'm still going to be making just as much, if not more, and I'll still be able to cash my checks every week and walk around with a fat wallet if I want, and not look over my shoulder stressing about how i got it. Those guys you're looking at? Give 'em 10 years, they won't have two nickels to rub together, and no family to be proud of."

He said that so cool and smooth, but with such emphasis and conviction, I've never forgotten it and never will.

It was a monumental moment in my childhood.

Fathers

My dad never made more than 50k before overtime but retired with nearly 200k in the bank .

My dad doesn't even have a cc nor ever had one, my dad never even bought a suit, had a new car nothing that I remember growing up .

Good thread Breh. People are willfully ignorant to the widespread effects popular music has on the general public. Not only is this poison providing a dangerous, negative narrative about black people to the globe, it also teaches us to view each other as the enemy which is essentially self hate.

I vividly remember listening to I feel like dying by Wayne and saying when the hell did blacks start promoting drug use. Before they were mainly talking bout selling, almost as a cautionary tale. I'm 31, and I feel like my generation didn't mess with drugs bc we saw the results of the crack epedimic first hand. The stigma of being on drugs in the black community was always negative. Now, u have future saying he's proudly poppin percoccets. Tf???? Ross talking bout he's the neighborhood drug dealer... 200 years from now blacks will be studying these times and this music like



I'm looking into mentoring teens or something this fall. Black kids need to see examples of "success" beyond athletics and rap, both which are basically lottery tickets reserved for 1% of the population. The mentality has to change. The definition of success has to change. In my eyes the dude who climbed out of generational welfare legally is far more successful than a young thug, or chief keef. I can't respect people who sell out their own for a few coins. You're literally selling out the future imo.

i wonder which one of you is the white supremicist

 

[semicko82]

OP is absolutely right, but at the end of the day you can't change a person view on life. You have to wake up and be the best man you can be. It's a damn shame being cool is a top priority.

You have to change yourself before you change the world.

100% true. Our future is turning in to zombies tho. think its a "conspiricy". but this is by design
