Yea, surrounding yourself with something for a long time will definitely rub off on you. You're conditioning yourself without even realizing it.

this, as a brown brah it would definitely feel patronizing to me if people convinced me that because of my colour I'm a victim and that I need help against oppressive white patriarchy. acting all pretentious n chit when the chit is all virtue signaling/wokeness. imagine people telling you that you cant make something of yourself, to pack it in and blame your circumstances. and then once you become successful they hate on you because it doesn't fit their narrative of oppression and call you uncle tom or white sympathizers or sum chit lol.

Case and point to some of my previous posts, people don't even try to hide it no longer. This sort of thing has become the norm in society and somehow the woke thing to do.

I get your point though. Nevertheless, in the recent years as more black people go to college there are more people speaking out about the ignorance of labeling someone "white" for being a contributing member of society. That said, it is still a huge problem and more people are becoming aware of it. Not every black person condones rap perpetuating violence and as earlier posters have mentioned the black church isn't a fan of it. You guys have gotta understand this chit isn't gonna change over night considering all the things that have been done to hold African-Americans back inb4 blacks have the same opportunities
Do not think that what is hard for you to master is humanly impossible; and if it is humanly possible, consider it to be within your reach.

Tupac is an interesting one, if you look at a lot of his earlier works it was a lot about fighting injustices, problems the black community was facing, etc. Even the way he spoke was drastically different. Not sure what happened along the way but he seemed to get caught up in the thug/gangsta lifestyle out of a need for people to perceive him as "real, black, somebody who black youth can relate to" and to overall be accepted by the black community. It became increasingly a theme in his later works. Kinda sad really but a part of a bigger problem. That and I think he surrounded himself with the wrong people in general that never called him out on it. I know his family had a lot of ties to the black panther party as well as other prominent gangs. People seem to forget that he died very young at 25, perhaps he would have changed, who knows. But I agree some of the messages being put out nowadays at least in some way influence and reinforce criminal and unethical behaviour.

The last Album released before his death was All Eyez On Me songs include "2 of Amerikaz Most Wanted", and in the last hours of his life he was involved in a gang beatdown.

Nothing about his last album contradicted the degeneracy that he spoke about in that clip (and the full interview). That album definitely is not filled with 'conscious' lyrics.

I agree, 100%.
But I agree some of the messages being put out nowadays at least in some way influence and reinforce criminal and unethical behaviour.
Yeah, rap is part of a culture, hip hop. And the Culture glorifies, aggression, violence, materialism, drug dealing, drug addiction (weed, lean, script drugs), and narcissism... You see the exact same values prevalent in ghettos.

Even multi millionaire rappers, who live in rich neighbourhoods, and send their kids to private schools, will still be talking about being a dude on a corner shooting black men.


###

Based on my own life experience (and seeing others), rap/hip hop can have a big influence when you are black and...

Fatherless.

Live in low income household/area.

See that the most high status young men (who have the most success with women) are violent career criminals.

And experience social pressure to conform to black male stereotypes of hypermasculinity (the pressure comes from within the black community).


Then rap music (and hip hop culture) can be mechanism of reinforcement.


It's easy IMO for middle class kids, with good parents, to be baffled at the thought of how rap music and hip hop culture can influence young kids to want to be violent career criminals. However, that's because they can't empathize, with the social and family environment that a lot of kids are growing up in.

Being honest, I was a walking stereotype in a lot of ways until I was 19, and beat up someone in broad daylight in a mall. I felt like crap when I saw the dude phucked up, when I was in cuffs, and I vowed to change. I've never gotten into a fight since.

I even saw white kids who identified a lot with gangster rap, because they grew up in fatherless, low income, and violent environments. One dude I was good friends with went on to be a very phuckin nasty human being, and was obsessed with rap. Dude stayed a bad person far longer than I did.... Last thing I knew he had stopped being knocking people unconscious and then robbing them, but was still 'putting money' in bad ventures, shall we say.

Common response. Normally from non-black, or if the dudes are black, they normally come from decent upbringings.


Can you answer a few questions...

Did you grow up with a father?

Did you grow up in a violent area, where the most high status people in your local community were violent career criminals?

Did you grow up in a low income household/area?

Did you grow up in ethnic or racial culture, where if you were non-confrontational, studious, and articulate you were seen as being inauthentic or a race traitor?


I'm going to be blunt, for the same reason that a lot of white guys don't like to watch interracial porn (they often say they can't 'identify' with the black man on the screen, so they only like watching white dudes bang a women), is the same reason why black kids identify - and therefore can be more influenced by - black rapper.

I'm not saying that rap creates the desire, but I am saying that rap music is a very strong reinforcement of negative values and images, that a black fatherless kid, from a violent low income areas would be exposed to.

When you see the black violent drug dealer treated as a celebrity in your community, and then you see that same persona gloried in an internationally renowned music video/song... Your brain associates that with success/aspiration.

True. Obama did immense work reforming police culture during his 8 years and really used his power to clean up Chicago. It was a tremendous amount of progress. Both are almost unrecognizable after the work he pulled off as potus tbh.

i had an awesome childhood being middle class in an otherwise poor town. it was violent looking back, but it didnt "feel" violent. i tell my wife about metal detectors and chit at football games and people getting shot and she's just blown away. i didn't think anything of it.

two of my black friends are cousins who i played football with in HS and we have stayed in touch over the years bc it is a small town. i had lunch with one of them a few months ago and i said "we should tell your cousin to come too" and he was launched into this whole schpiel about how he still loves his cousin, but the dude is "unstable". hes in an out of jail and got a bunch of kids and stays in trouble. neither dude had a dad and they grew up in the worst chit hole neighborhood in the city we are from.

one turned out good and beat the odds (husband, dad and small business owner) and has a total anti-victimhood mentality, and the other is a complete bum.


there's a persistent culture that promotes violence, but i think i would attribute way more to poverty and child rearing conditions. when a child grows up never feeling safe they are way more likely to be reckless as an adult. i think you put way too much stock into the effect of rap music.

Middle class and good childhood. I thought so.

You're putting way too much stock into my posts ITT. You're drawing a picture of my conclusions that isn't accurate.

I have repeatedly on the misc spoken about the negative effects of fatherlessness, neglect and abuse during childhood, etc. I'm not expecting you to be aware of that, but I'm just pointing out that your making a hasty judgement based on a single thread.

One reason why I talk about rap music, is because it's an area that is IMO very rarely criticized by people.

The second reason is that... If a kid is raised in a chitty household, in a chitty social environment, the place where they could potentially get positive images, ideals, and guidance from is music, videos, films, etc...

What does rap music provide kids growing up in chitty circumstances with?

What does a black kid find, when they look to see what other black kids who have grow up in similar circumstance think, act like, and are doing with their lives??

Just pouring gasoline on the fire.


Rappers are used to sell products to black (and non-black youth), because marketers aware that they have a lot of influence over the minds of youth.

Legendary rapper DMC in this video, talks about how much weed and alcohol they used to drink, but they never put it in their songs. Because they realized that because of their song about ADIDAS shoes, youth went nuts and went out and brought it (They really had a tremendous impact on sales), so they understood that if they rapped about smoking weed and drinking alcohol that kids would want to be like them too.

That wasn't my reason for posting that video, at all.

It was to show an example of the mentality that IME a lot of black people have, about 'what it means to be black'.

I can tell you from personal experience on the misc alone, that when I've criticzed rap, people think I must be white, and that I'm 'attacking black music'. Even though I have said zero about; RNB, Neo Soul, Motown, or Gospel.

(Regarding the rape thing... If you read Tupac's own words about the incident, he left the girl to get raped... I'm not saying that he should have gone to prison for rape... But I think he needed to go to prison for something. In an interview he said "I'm not guilty of what they said I did, but I am guilty of not being a good man".)

yea i have a great father my parents are both geeks and smart as fuk. i live in an extremely white suburb now and my 6 year old had zero black kids in his class, the chit makes me uncomfortable. my parents want to sell their house to me and i wanna move back home, but the schools have declined to like 6/10 so my wife is like nahhh.

i volunteer for an org that mentors kids without a permanent address, meaning they get shuffled from gramma to mom to cousin etc. i do class aid in inner city schools and it is ZERO white kids. i have a lot of uncomfortable feelings about this self organized segregation, because im thankful for the childhood that i had. these racial inequities feel way too structurally endemic for anything to be done about them so i feel frustrated too, idk.

Black on black is allowed because of socio economic systematic oppression. I wish I was joking, but that seems to be general consensus.
I believe the 2018 stats are:

Unarmed black men killed by police-6
Unarmed white men killed by police-34

This despite the fact that blacks commit over 50% of all violent crimes.

If anything cops appear to be racist against whites.

I prefer Malcom X's story.

Which seems like Tupac's story in reverse.

Malcom X went from Gangster to self-educated, clean living, revolutionary.

Tupac went from revolutionary to Gangster.

I know about Tupac's life.

Yeah, rap is part of a culture, hip hop. And the Culture glorifies, aggression, violence, materialism, drug dealing, drug addiction (weed, lean, script drugs), and narcissism... You see the exact same values prevalent in ghettos.

Even multi millionaire rappers, who live in rich neighbourhoods, and send their kids to private schools, will still be talking about being a dude on a corner shooting black men.

Based on my own life experience (and seeing others), rap/hip hop can have a big influence when you are black and...

Fatherless.

Live in low income household/area.

See that the most high status young men (who have the most success with women) are violent career criminals.

And experience social pressure to conform to black male stereotypes of hypermasculinity (the pressure comes from within the black community).


Then rap music (and hip hop culture) can be mechanism of reinforcement.


It's easy IMO for middle class kids, with good parents, to be baffled at the thought of how rap music and hip hop culture can influence young kids to want to be violent career criminals. However, that's because they can't empathize, with the social and family environment that a lot of kids are growing up in.

Being honest, I was a walking stereotype in a lot of ways until I was 19, and beat up someone in broad daylight in a mall. I felt like crap when I saw the dude phucked up, when I was in cuffs, and I vowed to change. I've never gotten into a fight since.

I even saw white kids who identified a lot with gangster rap, because they grew up in fatherless, low income, and violent environments. One dude I was good friends with went on to be a very phuckin nasty human being, and was obsessed with rap. Dude stayed a bad person far longer than I did.... Last thing I knew he had stopped being knocking people unconscious and then robbing them, but was still 'putting money' in bad ventures, shall we say.
I am glad some people can identify the real causes of the problems people are addressing.

This whole mentality of "it is the police's fault for targeting black people" is one of the most ignorant, media consuming, simplistic thinking ideas and its TERRIBLE this is what the whole purpose of the movement has become.

Lets not address WHY black people are committing disproportionately more crime and nip it in the bud and actually SAVE some black lives, and make black lives matter from the get go. Instead, lets just blame cops, and say they are racist and make it so criminals can get away with more and cause more harm to society as a whole, and let the cycle repeat itself again in 5-20 years.
