How come rap is blamed for Black violence, but Metal isn't blamed for 'White' violence?

he's right. rap promotes and encourages a culture of violence and ignorance.

This is one dumbass post and I hope it’s sarcasm. Crime was actually worse during the so-called “gospel and soul music” era. Heroin plagued our communities. Y’all are so fukking simple minded.

My post was moreso flippant. Of course crime was worse because folks was more broke since it was closer to end of segregation. My point is that we don’t really have music that’s pushed to the masses that paints a complete picture of the Black experience. It’s a propaganda machine. I don’t really care how other ppl view us but look at how some of us view our fellow Black ppl.

There's nuance to it, but he's not lying.

Criminal activity existed far beyond rap, I do agree rap can aggrevate shyt though.

Especially if you live in the conditions that can be aggrevated.



Cac kids listen to rap, but the rate of crime from them is not as high.


So clearly there are factors well beyond rap that are at play

​

cause heavy metal ain't a major factor in white culture. rap basically "is" or dominates black culture in America.

Then how come rap music isn't blamed for 'White' violence?

cause it's not their culture, they're spectators.
the minute a white person try to adapt or live by rap culture their community and ours will ridicule them, call them names etc.
there is a barrier for them that's not there for us. we believe rap is "ours"

They're told they're "acting Black", which suggests that they see a relationship between the content in the music of Black artists and Blackness. We see the same relationship.

That was true about 30 years ago.

Not anymore.
