We are killing our own culture. Back in the day, we had Smokey Robinson, The Temptations, The Supremes and though their personal lives may have been in a shambles, they presented themselves and their music in the highest fashion. They didn’t say, “I don’t want to be a role model!” and if they did Berry Gordy told them “Tough! You are! Now act right!” [Side note: We need to bring the Hollywood system back, stars have proven they need the Louis B. Mayers and Samuel Goldwyns to run their lives because they are unable to do it themselves.]

My point is, back then our culture, like our music, valued human dignity, endurance, and intelligence. It has been since I was a teenager when things got backwards. Now all we have is murder and mayhem like you pointed out. I despise rap music. I think it should be abolished! It should die the same kind of extinction the dodo did-as it was also pretty worthless. It is time for Blacks to reclaim their proud heritage, their genuine culture and stop perpetuating this obviously dangerous and quite stupid one. We can achieve a lot more if we don’t have our own kind trying to bring us down!

When I was a youth corrections officer, we were always frustrated by the tacit refusal on the part of the Administration to stop allowing the kids to listen to this tripe. Same in adult corrections. And it was all they listened to (unless they were members of a white supremacy gang, in which case we were allowed to confiscate their music).

They can’t have porn, they can’t conduct crimes through the mail, but they can listen to racist, hatemongering, misogynistic music.

there was a time at its origination when rap and hip-hop were more than what they’ve become, but it has been rapidly increasing slide into cultural nihilism. It pains me that much of what people see and think of “Black America” is based on the kind of lyrics and attitudes reflected here. It pains me more that this poison is pumped into the minds of young kids as being normative thought, destroying their God given potential and leaving them unable almost permanently to engage in civil society.

One could argue poor people from Appalachia have little chance. Do we have Folk music lyrics that go like this:

I’ve got a gallon of moonshine and loaded gun.
I’m goona get drunk and have some fun.
I’ll fuck some slut in the trailer park.
I’ll get her all done when it gets dark.

No, I can’t say I’ve ever heard folk music lyrics like those.

I don’t know which author called Rap and Hip Hop the modern day equivalent to the Minstrel Show. But, that is what rap and hip hop are.
