Quote from: Elevz Is Fuckin' Serious About This! on February 28, 2007, 03:21:23 PMTo be really fair, the author seems a bit off by simply blaming rap music for this. It seems to have become a property of the entire culture to simply cry about all injustice they suffer from...I don't think he simply blamed rap music.

The Black Ku Klux Klan shows up in full force and does its best to ruin our good time. Instead of wearing white robes and white hoods, the new KKK has now taken to wearing white Ts and calling themselves gangsta rappers, gangbangers and posse members.Just like the White KKK of the 1940s and '50s, we fear them, keep our eyes lowered, shut our mouths and pray they don't bother us.Our fear makes them stronger. Our silence empowers them. Our lack of courage lets them define who we are. Our excuse-making for their behavior increases their influence and enables them to recruit more freely.We sing their racist songs, gleefully call ourselves the N-word, hype their celebrity and get upset when white people whisper concerns about our sanity.And whenever someone publicly states that the Black KKK is terrorizing black people, black neighborhoods, black social events and glorifying a negative, self-destructive lifestyle, we deny and blame the Man.I don't want to do it anymore.
my throat hurts, its hard to swallow, and my body feels like i got a serious ass beating.

"gangsta rappers" and "racist songs"That's what he mentions, but not even exclusively... he just kinda threw them in a list of examples... that can't be considered him "simply blaming rap music"... in that case, that would've been a more significant/major point of his article, which it obviously wasn't. You know what I mean?
