Posted by L Train on Thu Apr 21 18:20:42 2005, in response to A honest cultural question..., posted by brooklynQB on Thu Apr 21 17:01:22 2005. It's a combination of racism and rap music. There have been great strides in black America over the last few decades but there are still vestiges of racism. I'm not convinced that if a black and white person with the same qualifications applied for the same job then they'd have an equal shot at that job. As for rap music, it encourages blacks to act like gangsters, get women pregnant and not take care of their babies, and smoke weed. It frowns upon getting an education. 50 Cent is glorified because he got shot 9 times, not because he got a Ph D. Instead of realizing how close he came to dying and trying to change he glorified his near death experience. Instead of emulating positive blacks like Colin Powell (you may not like his policies but you have to respect him) and Magic Johnson blacks want to be thugs just like in these rap videos. |
