Young black kids …
Young black kids nowadays listen to rap music and look up to rappers and want to be like them.
So they act out thinking that they can someday be like that (without putting education first) and get involved in violence.
Think about it, MOST RAP MUSIC talks about drugs, guns, killing, woman, cars, etc.

8:36 “I come to work every single day to act as a puppet to the illuminati so they don’t kill me before my elected term is up!” Speak on it Master P!

Is there anybody …
Is there anybody out there willing to point the finger at the true problem of the Hip Hop culture; the main killer of Hip Hop is the radio programers, they are putting the same type of Hip Hop artist in heavy rotation, while others (positive, motivating, uplifting) artist are ignored and basicly blackballed without any support from greedy radio programers. There’s ova 1,000,000 styles of Hop Hop; but you wouldn’t know it listening to the radio.

@mykinfoknew I …
@mykinfoknew I guarentee that blacks are mistreated over here. So are latinos. I’ve seen whites mistreated. It’s probably rougher in some parts of the country than in others. Here in Seattle, I don’t see blacks being treated any different than whites, or asians. If I want down into the south. Mississippi, maybe Texas. I may see some of this. I agree man. If its happening it needs to be fixed. I’m not defending dumb whites/latinos/asians who may thing its right to do this stuf

Don’t get vex, this …
Don’t get vex, this is a debate. It doesn’t make me happy that Blacks r mistreated in western societies but we”ve always overcome. what annoys me is peeps like u.
You deny the factors that have always been there. Just bcos it aint in your face, does that mean its not there?
You think a trophy Black wife gives you the right to believ it dont exist.
Cud it possibly be that your wife doesn’t want anything to do with touchin on that issue?
Either way, she is dealing with prejudice

@mykinfoknew One. …
@mykinfoknew One. Who gives a if shes “black”. I love her regardless of what skin color she is or what “name” you put on that skin color. I DONT think at lease were I live that “blacks” get treated any differently than “whites” or “crackers” as some below have called. I mean have some class…. seriously. I mean if saying that “whites” have it in for “blacks” is what makes you happy, so be it. I don’t think Raichelle(wife) had to overcome many things being “black”

Dont gimme dat your …
Dont gimme dat your “wife is of darker skin” bullsh*t man. I hear dat frm you people all the time. I’m from England but don’t think for a secondtheres some kind of difference in how Black people are treated cos there isn’t.
The difference is the approach of strategies towards Blacks.
If your wife is Black why you can’t say it?
She needs to buss yo’ sh*t up.
If she is Black, why would I have a bad thing 2say about her graduating by overcoming stumbling blocks set up for her to fail??

this is a good discussion

It’s not fair. I …
It’s not fair. I agree, But saying that whites are crooked is wrong. I’m from Seattle. My wife is of darker skin. Shes currently has 2 associates degrees, 1 bachelors, and working on her masters. I can guess the next your going to say, “Shes a puppet” you would probably say the same thing about MLK. I know something tho, If you brought that around my wife, she would bust (bus) your up.

Where are you from, …
Where are you from, were have you been? I assume your American because your talking like you know American policies…. Im not going to tell you that you know nothing about America, However I been around America. There are some states that are pretty jacked up. If your having a hard time where your currently at maybe you should go to another state that will allow you to succeed so you can go back to that place and run it.
December 6th, 2009 at 3:58 pm
Who told you I’m …
Who told you I’m from America and who told you I havent travelled????
Once again you know sh*t and you making claims to back your stupid mentality.
I suppose now you’re gonna say well you dont know nothin about america!!
You’re a straight dumb fool.
December 6th, 2009 at 3:58 pm
@mykinfoknew hahaha …
@mykinfoknew hahaha… WOW… Where are you from? Have you graduated high school? Have you had any college? If not how old are you? Have you ever been locked up? What did you do?
December 6th, 2009 at 3:58 pm
@mykinfoknew I’m …
@mykinfoknew I’m American, I’ve also been out of country to know that your wouldn’t survive outside the USA. You take a lot of freedom for granted I think
December 6th, 2009 at 3:58 pm
@mykinfoknew From …
@mykinfoknew From what I was able to understand here. I think you should go back to your room and put your tin foil hat back on. With that being said. I wouldn’t say blacks are more targetted than whites. It would mainly be where your at. If you city is hard on blacks, you should move away. for my nations disposal? Is this not your nation? Are you not American?
December 6th, 2009 at 3:58 pm
And through all of …
And through all of that, were still here and many of us are doing well.
You crackers in corporate offices control the minds of our poverty stricken young BLACK males/females TODAY to keep them dreamin big through ways that are impossible while not focusing on their studies, all through illusions.
Crack epedemic, Tuskagee Project, AIDS, the Projects, prohibited neighbourhoods for Blacks TODAY AND THE LAST 50 YEARS.
YOU Dont know shit.
Wanna bus ya ass.
& I didnt even bring up the topic
December 6th, 2009 at 3:58 pm
This niaive cracker …
This niaive cracker talkin like he knows sutn.
Bitch the reason behind slavery was to rob the people of their natural resources and create the wealth for the vatican and the elite. We were to be used for your nations disposal.
Our native homeland TODAY is in ruins because of SLAVERY.
Black people across the globe TODAY face racism on every level.
Blacks were strategically set up to fail. History books telling us lies.

I feel u but I live in Baltimore Maryland and its enough discrimination where im at. I feel sorry for the Iraqi’s but i dont live in that country so i can only speak on the country I live in and thats America a so called free country
December 6th, 2009 at 3:58 pm
You want to see …
You want to see discrimination. Go over to Iraq. You’ll see discrimination 100 fold.
December 6th, 2009 at 3:58 pm
I’m not exactly …
I’m not exactly sure were you live, or where your from. I’m up here in Seattle, I guarantee if you came up here into a “white” neighborhood, you would be LESS targeted than if I came down there, into a “black” neighborhood. I have been pulled over by cops just walking down the street. I’ve also been held gun point because someone thought I was reported as pointing guns at cars. Now I want to mention that I’m Ex military. I served 4 years in the USAF before getting shot up in Iraq.
December 6th, 2009 at 3:58 pm

actually i am balck and im not 12 im 22. I didnt deal with slavry but i do realize the curropt country i live in and i understand that blacks are targeted. Have u ever been stopped by the police for nothing i have u might be American but i bet you’re not black u wouldnt understand.

How is it invalid? …
How is it invalid? You live and overcome. I hate it when people are so dramatic about blacks and slavery. Yeah it was bullshit, but slavery happened all over the world. Asians were slaves, Whites were slaves, Blacks were slaves. I don’t think its valid to be pulling out the slavery card and talking about how dramatic it was when your GREAT GREAT GREAT GREAT grandpa was a slave. Like these feelings were passed on by DNA or some shit…
December 6th, 2009 at 3:58 pm
I’m American, I …
I’m American, I didn’t have to deal with the stresses of the 1200′s or the 1800′s. Are you black? Were you a slave in America? Your ancestors may have been slaves, So were mine. I personally think that Rap/ Hiphop has no effect on people. I don’t think music is making people kill people. people kill people, and its been happening for 1000′s of years. murdabitch? Come back when you’ve experienced life. I know your only 12…

You’re right bruv, but stardom blinds us to press rappers to take responsibility.
When asked what he can do to change the music, Davids gonna say that he pumps funds back into his community, so what? We gonna wait for 10yrs to wait on a change?
He knows hes wrong, he knows to stop describing whats goin on where hes from like he’s still in it and start talkin sense in his rhymes and bring his generations minds up.
Not just Banner but all rappers.
Flip the script.

Thats a dumb and invalid comment.
I hop you’ve changed mindset within this last month.
