I hear you lifter, I tried my best to stick to the issues and not take the bate, but I am still learning the format and the rules of engagement.

Crimes MORE brutal!?! Does anyone remember Emmett Till. In 1955, a fourteen year old black boy was kidnapped, beaten to death, his tongue cut off and jammed down his throat, his eyes slit out, his nose hacked with a meat cleaver, shot with a 45-caliber gun, his head sliced in half, his ears inserted into his head, his teeth knocked out, and more. And the people who did this were otherwise perfectly normal except that they hated black people.

They did this because he whistled at a white woman.

And ghetto shootings are by blacks, what's the point, space waster?

This is a man who was amazed that African Americans can eat in a restaurant. His statistics are also wrong. There are much more white welfare recipients, white criminals, and single parents than the entire population. The blame blacks issue always makes O'Reily and his followers feel good. They need this tactics instead of working in that on the problems in their communities. Pitiful!!

The problem that causes those crimes is capitalism. Capitalism causes poverty and poverty causes multiple chaotic situations (father-less children, drug use, violence, etc).

So the ROOT problem is capitalism.

You saying I'm a racist doesn't make any sense. Because I'm pointing out something the black race has done wrong over the past 30 years? The KKK was bad for this country and still is! Am I racist against whites now?

And the comment about your, "memba dat", is because ebonics makes people sound stupid and it isn't a language, no matter how many people use it.

[PoetWhittier]

As I said, you are a racist. Memba dat!

[shreddog2049]

"memba dat"? Those aren't words. So white kids are the only people that buy 50 Cent, 2 Pac, Kanye West, ect." And if white kids only buy "negative" rap, how does that force all the black people to act like the idiot examples they see in negative rap? I hate that the white kids are being corrupted along with the blacks by all these stupid rappers!

[PoetWhittier]

The negative hip hop is being consumed by mostly white kids NOT the black; while it's mostly black kids, NOT the white, that support the underground stuff. You're using hip hop as a scapegoat. you need to examine the facts you present and your beliefs (you are a racist). Why you not blaming white kids for buying the garbage that they associate with being black? Schools shootings are done by lil white boys. memba dat.

[shreddog2049]

Man, I know there are those positive rappers, but only a falf a percent of the black kids in America care what they say. I mean I don't see them burning up the charts or MTV.

And thats my point, that so many white kids are buying into this hip hop, rap, style, and it's infecting the whole world. The white kids want to be black, talk black, and treat women the way their favorite rappers tell them they should.

[PoetWhittier]

the major consumers of what you pejoratively label black pop culture is middle and upper middle class, white, suburban youth.culture. You ever heard of Binary Star,immortal technique, Da Truth, One Be Lo, KRS-One, R-Swift, Madlib, J-Dilla? Most of these are underground hip hop artist who consistently bring positive messages to the youth and use hip hop as a tool for change and education. Stop stereotyping, dude. most of the tv stuff white people are buying and perpetuating that shit. peace
