I don't know how old you are or if you really interact with the youth like that but I think you should really hear people out who say this. As a fairly young person and one who works with young people I can attest that rap music is very influential. Rap isn't the cause of all the drama but it sure isn't helping. From my experience many of these kids take much of the music seriously, being a thug/gangsta is seen as cool and the ultimate form of masculinity, especially for black men; it even affects young girls. I've seen this even in my generation. So don't be so quick to dismiss it. I'm often think of that 2pac song shorty wanna be a thug and feel that really applies today.

Today is a new day and new era and what may have not affected you in the past isn't the same for youth today. I think many people shun the idea because they base it off of themselves, like, "I grew up on hiphop and I'm fine". We are not growing up in the rap that is out there today, nor is the music the same. This music not only influences them but serves as their live's soundtrack.

:salute:Yep, my entire mindset about rap changed after working in a youth detention center for 2 years. Very influential and you hit the nail with how it makes criminal/destructive activities seem "cool". Its obviously not the cause but its not helping a damn thing:wow:

And the worse part is that hip-hop has the potential to be a weapon FOR us to inspire, educate, motivate and uplift an entire generation. Instead that weapon has been turned around and is being used against us:mjcry:

Early 90s is modern times and the fact still remains that crime was worse than when hip hop wasn't nearly as popular. I do believe that the most ignorant forms of hip hop are pushed heavy but that doesn't translate to sales becuz the highest grossing hip hop acts don't promote negativity. The break down of the family is way more crucial. I was 13 and 14 years old listening to Big rap about robbing pregnant women and Mobb Deep stabbing nikkas in the brain with their nose bone. Did I ever even think about doing that? No. And that becuz I had a solid upbringing. And I didn't even need to listen to rap to know these things happened. I've seen these things happen with my own eyes. I always see you blame the music but blame the parents.

Really? You do? Pushed by who and why would they do this?:jbhmm:

So because you worked in a youth detention facility for two years you understand urban youth better than themselves?

That's gotta be the most arrogant cac sounding shyt ever :mjlol:.

So does that mean inner city police know street culture better than the kids who live it breh?

God I hate when you quote me, you never make any damn sense to even warrant a regular response:snoop:

Why are communities with more women more violent?


I have never seen any research proving communities with more women are more violent. That is a claim you are making up.

And you're making it up because you desperately need to blame women for the actions of Black men -- heaven forbid we demand Black male accountability! :no:

This deflection is childlike, cowardly, and irresponsible.

Unemployment, poor education, redlining, and economic (white) flight create the impoverished conditions of South Chicago, and young Black men become agents of self-genocide. The causation is institutional and systemic, but there is also the factor of chosen and promoted attitudes and behaviors.

Evoking alternate realities where Black women are the culprits of mass Black death doesn't help us fix real issues in this reality.

You'd be surprised how much alittle street smarts can out do trained grown men breh. Trust me
I don't doubt that some of these little goons are elusive enough to do their dirt, but the fact that you have white dudes who appear to be trained bussing on people on camera says volumes about the possibility that its cops or trained private militias doing much of the shooting. Peep the way the cac in this video holds his gun and his overall look with the shades and camo hat...and how they disabled the damn comments on the video.





Violence in Chicago is paraded around throughout the media nationwide as the paragon of evidence that the blacks are violent animals that need to be put down which makes it a valuable tool of white supremacy. And the city itself has some of the most corrupt politics in America. Is it really that much of a stretch to think that cacs are being paid to commit some of the violence?

Bro, you really think this sh#t pops off all over the city? In downtown? Or midtown? North Side? :comeon:

I've been to Chicago on business. Walked around downtown like all the other folks. Even walked around in the middle of the night catching sights and some grub before calling it a night. Just like any city I've been to....nothing happened.

Some of y'all listen to these cacs tell ghost stories about Chicago. I hear white people always talking about how crazy Chicago is, yet they work in downtown Chicago and get on the train to go back to the suburbs. Or they live on the North Side...far away from any hood. Yet, let them tell it, everyday they walk through the "Valley of the Shadow of Death" on their way to Starbucks after getting off the subway on Wacker.

Cacs got black people afraid of other black people :pachaha:


Peace

That's part of the plan breh and its a reality. Having blacks fear and distrust each other. This keeps unity from happening. Media propaganda affects not only how the world views us, but more importantly, how we view ourselves.

Nope, Ima keep my foot on your neck and making you furious behind your keyboard. That's why you can't help but to quote me. My posts infuriates you:russ:



Breh not a single thing on this forum can remotely make me angry :pachaha:

My breh i used to frequent Humboldt park, a hispanic hood, those are definitely chi hispanic gang members. That's how they dress in the Chi, they look and act hella different from cholos out in the west coast. it's really not uncommon at all for street cats to shoot with more of a trained stance ,just look at other footage of Chicago shootings.






I'm not saying that the police aren't somehow involved, but these nikkas usually brag about the shyt online right after it happens :yeshrug:.
