Black woman single cos the black men are in jail - would you marry outside your race?

[Megas Methuselah]

Not all blacks subscrube to it nor should they be expected to, however the ones that do subscribe to a culture that promotes misogyny, violence, and promiscuity.

I agree, I agree, but just remember that hip hop was born in a ghetto, so I can still blame the historic evil white man for impoverishing the blacks.

On a more serious note, hip hop as a whole does not "subscribe to a culture that promotes misogyny, violence, and promiscuity" (nice statement), but for some strange reason, that particular branch of hip hop dominates the mainstream.

True, but the most popular kind does. For every one Common there are ten Soulja boys....and its not only the music, I would argue the music is more of a product of the urban street cultural which in turn was dissmanted throughout the rual south where it is now more of a "Life imatating art" thing

I don't want to subscribe to much power to the music because I will come off sounding like an old man. I also want to make it quite clear that the music itself does not make someone do something or behave a certian way.

I do think however, how blacks are portrayed in the media is a huge problem and that you can blame on Americas need for stereotyping.
