"Where are the news conferences against the vile-degenerate crap being pumped and sold to kids."
There has been some outrage, to sum it up it went something like this: When the rap artist is confronted with the content of his lyrics the usual reply is "Why you messing with my bling" In other words, we are jealous of his money and trying to keep 'em down again, and don"t want Blacks to succeed. Btw, white suburban kids buy all the rap cd's, they are not all thugged out, the point being, the image of the rapper (guns and gangs, etc) is the new sterotype of blacks, that blacks are putting out there in the media. (Or white corporate media??)
What to do? Ha, Bill Cosby has some solutions and he was belittled by everyone publicy, but in private most influential black leaders agree with him. It is a tough situation. All about the money. There is no money in responsibilty only money for the victim. Trial lawyer 101. There is no percentage in taking responsibilty.
Its not a re-education, more like an understanding, imo the definitive book on black America is titled "Enough - the phony leaders and dead end movements" Read it, it covers every subject discussed here, Sharpton, Jesse Jackson, rap etc.
P.s re rap, there has been flack about the content about C&W music lyrics, drinking etc, most c&w music now: two thumbs down, go figure.
