Where is part 7...why the heck is it gone and what was so important to censor...that sucks youtube

[yendorification]

The moral of the story is mainstream hip hop has become a minstrel show designed to make blacks look ghetto, and white youth control what hip hop artists do by virtue of thier purchasing power

She is so full of shit. I would love to count the ways but this is the youtube comment section, it's better suited for statements than anything else. It's hardly the place for a major write-up. It's bullshit 'sociology' like this which is the folcrum of disastrous conclusions.

@jcclarkeru She addressed that exact issue in part 5, see 'bell hooks Pt 5 cultural criticism (madonna)' and go to 4:40.

Google search 'bell hooks Pt 7 cultural criticism (KIDS)' to find the censored part.

Youtube won't allow posting part 7 But you can Google it and find it easily.

I really like this and it's so incredibly intelligent. I really wish we could have seen part 7. Does anyone know why youtube took it down?

This is so amazing. I just showed this to my class of Undergraduates. Most were amazed and asked to borrow my Out Law Culture copy. haha. One of the best and most insightful thinkers of our day.

This is brilliant but im laughing at the same time when she says "hot pussy"

[ppbbs88]

Her analysis in the last 90 seconds of the video is the most original and insightful interpretation of hip-hop I have heard to date.

@fleurgi I could go on but I'm limited to 500 characters. In this clip, she isn't male and she's not a part of the hip hop community. She's not in a position to understand it fully. She may be able to speak on how it makes her feel but she stretches when she tries to prove intent and she dissolves the autonomy of the consumer. Just as I can't psychoanalyze you w/o knowing you. I don't know what she's talking about rape being the norm either??? Feel free to send me a message if you want

[fleurgi]

@jscott181 Ok with no intention of offence may you please share or point out to me the matters she has no knowledge of? Or what in particular is bs because I honestly think she has some good points. I am writing a paper on her at my professors request so I think hearing the reasons behind your opinion would be interesting.
