You are sorely mistaken. Rap has perpetuated and added to a culture of violence and degradation of morals especially with our youth.


Rap is vile.

Why do you guys always make a case that white guys are always “mentally disturbed” when they do something heinous? It’s NEVER that they’re just malicious people.
Not true. Just recently posters here (rightfully) called out the malice of the antifa creeps who assaulted a reporter.

Lol...yeah, ok.

When Rock & Roll was an all black genre at the end of the radio dial, that’s what everyone said about it too.

Did they include extreme misogynist and *racist* lyrics? Did they call for the shooting of cops, the raping of white girls?

You haven't been keeping up, have you.

You’re concerned about the “shooting of cops” based on rap music? Really now?

The “raping of white girls?”

So you care about misogyny all of a sudden? And white girls??? That’s hilarious. “Be misogynistic all you want, but hey...leave our white girls out of it.”

When the Sheriff in Blazing Saddles said “where da white wimmen at,” were you one of the guys that chased him?

Man, please. You’re killing me with this nonsense. What have you been listening to? You’re right, I haven’t been keeping up, but you obviously listen to a LOT of rap. Lol

While we have excuse makers around here, in this particular case they said so in the news article.

FYI- we had a discussion a while back about things getting worse in terms of this kind of thing. I'd point out that this particular attack was selected to be elevated to national news while other similar attacks are not due to this one being a favorable racial match to that "news" outlet. That is the perception bias that is being created. Just the same as how FOX runs with the latest illegal crime story.

I'm speaking directly to the claim that whites are now suddenly on a rampage, emboldened by Trump yet hate crimes have not materially increased. The 2018 statistics will be available in 3 months or so.

Yeah but it's 2019 now and the Detroit rap festival has higher ticket prices for you if you are white, I've never seen that at a rock concert.

On the other hand, Taylor Swift raps in her song "Shake it Off" so watch out if you see her because she's probably rolling with 40's and GATs according to some posters here.

You're the one who brought up rock and roll in response to a poster who said rap was vile. You said "When Rock & Roll was an all black genre at the end of the radio dial, that’s what everyone said about it too."


You needed to be schooled on the most obvious thing, that a lot of rap IS vile. I gave you some examples, to which you mumbled something about Blazing Saddles or something.

Give him a fair trial, followed by a first-class hanging. Next.

I find showtunes to be way more triggering than rap.
