Wow. Are pre-teens in Baltimore and DC really this active?

[that guy]

a man takes responsibility for everything in his life...
...including the life he created

youre not going to grow until you figure that out

Trust me, I have traveled to a different country every month for the last 10 months and I guarantee I’m more accomplished than you, let’s not play that game.

A man doesn’t take responsibility for something he didn’t do. Real men stand up to oppression instead making dumb ass excuses. The truth is some men such as yourself are really to scared to stand up to oppression so you say dumb shyt like “it’s the rap music!”

 

[that guy]

I grew up those environments, it's not all true or facts.

Where did you grow up?

Go to LA, Chicago, Detroit, Milwaukee, Cleveland, Cincinnati, New Orleans, Miami, Atlanta, Memphis, Philly, Little Rock, Even Delaware, Nebraska these young nikkas are all out of control..

The problem is these millennial and generation x parents still want to continue to be living their 90s and 2000s phases out instead of being 30,35,40,45,50 year old grown adults

Every generation says the one after theirs, is worse than theirs was. That's The American Way, say everything is worse when everything after, just copied everything before...

My socials are increasingly featuring people i know in my age bracket (people in their 30s) who swear "the kids of today" are worse than our era, or any prior one...

On a macro scale this fracture was planned and put into action long before anyone alive today was around, so I've never been a fan of finger pointing at people younger than you, who didn't have a hand on the conditions they were born into...

Looking at abandoned boarded up houses and liquor stores every block everyday has more of an effect on black children than rap music

Nothing is absolute. It effects some kids more than others, the same with the music. Some kids the music effects more than others. We get into these tug-o-wars on here trying to prove the other side is wrong, there's truth to both sides of the topic...

Anyone black who doesn't know people, who grew up in the most fukked up situations yet didn't turn to a life of crime, either isn't really black or grew up extremely sheltered. We all know muhfukkas who came from terrible upbringings that didn't succumb to the surroundings---->all of us who are actually black. I hate this narrative that black people exposed to poverty and violence just have to turn to a life of crime because it's simply a half-truth...

Yeah, you didn’t grow up in those type of environments

Nobody is stopping me from doing anything. You’re the coward in question here

We’re talking about as an adult nobody cares where your parents took you

 

[Koapa]

Yeah, you didn’t grow up in those type of environments

Nothing to prove to you. I'm far remove from it.


Continue on blaming whitey for every single black problem.

There isn’t any truth to the “rap music makes black people violent” narrative though. It’s just a racist white supremacist narrative that black people regurgitate just because they have been conditioned to believe everything the dominant society says. Black crime is a direct result of government policy.

I have proven time and time again, the statistics prove that there is no correlation between black violent crime and music. The reality is the black community is becoming safer every decade since the height of the crack era.

Idk where you got that narrative in the bolded. I haven’t seen anyone in the thread say that.

Nah there are people conditioned by the music. That doesn't mean the music is the only factor or even the dominant one. But to say the music, moreover the social conditioning of criminality across all forms of black media, isn't a factor for some, would be false..

I didn't read this whole thread but there are guys every year who speak as if growing up poor in tough neighborhoods creates a criminal mindset that black people aren't smart enough to deny. It's been said on here befire and when arguments are framed with the statement, "growing up seeing abandonment and blight", it comes off as if we are unable to overcome that social condition...

No they are not. The data shows that if all rap music today disappeared, there would be no change in the violent crime rate. People are conditioned by their environment. White people consume gangster rap more than black people. Are they supposed to be immune to the same music?

The media is a representation of reality. There is nothing in music or on tv that isn’t already occurring in real life in the black community.

That last paragraph is your own personal interpretation, no one ever said that. Nonetheless, black people shouldn’t have to overcome anything. You have normalized dysfunction to the point where you believe that we should just overcome oppression instead of not having to deal with oppression in the first place.

Cap. A lot of black kids are 100% influenced by the music. I see it all the time.

Wayne influence/popularity clearly inspired the dreads, double cup and face tattoo wave. Not sure how people really try to fight these easily proven facts lol.

You don’t know what you’re talking about. We are talking about violent crime, not the why some kids in the suburbs dress or what silly dances they do because of a song. You probably don’t even know anyone that has committed a crime
