[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]White mom of privileged white sons that will never know 1% of the heartbreak and worry my friends raising black sons have. I think the premise of the question is wrong. The black youth you speculate are unredeemable are trying to exist and survive in a [b]culture that is openly hostile to them[/b] and you ask why they aren’t thriving. What is the problem to fix? Everything. Safe, quality schools. Affordable and accessible healthcare. Affordable, safe housing and transportation. Reduced police bias and violence. Just to start. As a society we need to stop asking why people without boots can’t pull themselves up by their bootstraps. [/quote] This is stupid. Sorry, there is no other way to say it. This so-called woke and compassionate response is a big part of the problem, starting back in the 70s. It is not compassionate to people to blame their problems on society. They cannot control society. Society is not persecuting or holding them down. [b] If anything, our culture glorifies the maladaptive behavior through music, film and imitation. [b] [/quote] +1000 I do think hip hop culture plays a huge part of the blame. [/quote] Ask yourself who promotes hip hop culture and perpetuates it because they're making BIG MONEY off it. Consider this...U.S. listeners are spending more money on music than ever before: over $20 billion a year. Total music revenues — including from on-demand streams, CD sales, radio play, live events, advertising — have risen to about $43 billion a year. Of that, artists only take home $5 billion, or about 12 percent. So who's taking home the remaining 88 percent? Hint: [b]It ain't the folks with melanin.[/b] [img]https://data.whicdn.com/images/238701177/original.gif[/img][/quote] Oh come on. Where did hip hop culture come from? Who created it? [/quote] Hip hop is not just one thing. There are various artists and types of music in hip hop. Just like not all rock or pop is the same. Hey the eff is this racist thread still alive?? Hip ho[/quote]
