“Today’s Black Culture is TRASH. It doesn’t highlight empowerment it PROPAGATES gangsters, robbers, womanizers, killers and deceit” - Charleston White

[Micky Mikey]

it wasnt doing that great beforehand

very true but rap took it to another level.

 

[Ghost Utmost]

The slave label "Black" is, never has and never will be a true authentic culture. Calling yourself "black" actually shows that you're void of culture and just lost and confused.

No land, language is historically associated with "black". At least from the vantage point of the actual people who are refered to as "black"

It's just a socially constructed term that Europeans created for their own personal caste system to refer to their slaves.

Just look up the root etymology of the word and you'll see why Caucasians call you "black" and themselves "white".

That's all true.

Yet here we are. In a world we didn't create trapped in an oppressive system.

Who are we? We're separated from our past and we are unique with no allies.

Seems like we just use the name that everyone else calls us. Right and wrong doesn't really apply here. Since it is what it is and not changing.

Cac ran hip-hop and popular media pretty much dictates what black culture is today.

A complex game of 4D chess has been being ran on us for a long time.

Naw.

Like Charleston said we STILL CHOOSE to PROPEGATE IT.

The people Charleston is talking about are REVERED IN THE CULTURE when they should be OSTRACIZED.

 

[O.T.I.S.]

He not wrong but he forgot about the thots tho

 

[CW_1991]

Naw.

Like Charleston said we STILL CHOOSE to PROPEGATE IT.

The people Charleston is talking about are REVERED IN THE CULTURE when they should be OSTRACIZED.

They're also revered and propagated in popular media and transferred into the black consciousness via the phone and television screens.

It's basically, "look, this is authentically black. Follow this. Be this"

And many who are subconsciously programmed do.

Everyone likes to point the finger at hip hop because it’s an obvious and easy target.

But what folks won’t say is….

-The Black church is trash

-The Black political structure is trash

-Black Hollywood/Media is trash

-Black nutrition and cuisine is trash

-Black academia is trash

But keep pointing the finger at NBA Youngboy if it makes you feel righteous



Hip hop is just one result of all the other toxic disfunction in our culture that everyone is too scared or invested in to critique.

Because it influences the youth the most
I don't know why people try to deny this
hiphop culture has fukked up more than it has helped

the same shyt
they were young before

 

[Devil Plisken…CMS]

this friggin' guy again huh?

You’re in the house complaining about the decor

 

[$cam-U-Well_Jack$on]

He's right.

The problem isn’t hip hop. It’s a problem, but not THE problem. Hip hop just fills a void left by men that have failed to leave their families protected, provided for and intellectually prepared for society. The problem is we’ve been a matriarchy for almost half a century.

I listened to violent, misogynistic, anti Black hip hop my entire life and still do. I own a business, property, been happily married with a kid in college and no criminal record.

My kids listen to the same type of music and their outcome will be similar. My daughter literally listens to 21 Savage while she studies for her Physics exam. My son listens to Yungeen Ace while he cuts the lawn and walks the dog for our 80 year old neighbor.

What do you think makes me and everyone around me immune to the power and negative influence of hip hop?

Positive role models
young white kids listen to it too but for them its entertainment
nyggas in the hood listen to it to hype up to kill people
the effect of the music is very different on people in poverty stricken areas
from the over-sexualization to the violence
people with poor family structures are living that shyt

 

[Matt504]

Incredible

 

[Buddy]

I can't believe there's seriously an esoteric discussion on the board talking "nikka" this "c00n" that at every chance like it's oxygen in a collapsed cave

That’s it. That’s the virus. Until we address that, cleaning up hip hop is like putting a band-aid on a bullet wound.

Without family structure, some other sub culture will replace hip hop to fill that void. And it might be even worse and more destructive than Lil Durk and em..
