What kills more black people?

Again, I'm REAL sure your white ass would know, huh? You don't know what you're talking about. Again, YOU do not fit in with US. You should not be here. And no, I don't think you should be banned from speaking (since I know you'll accuse me of being a liberal who censors those who don't agree with me) - I just think it's downright stupid you're hanging out in a place you're not wanted.

I think you are confused about what kind of message board this is. This isn't a black message board. This website is based in the UK and most of the people that post here are teenagers from countries like Norway and Denmark. There are actually very few black people that post on here.
So don't worry, I am not trying to fit in with your black ass.

"if only" was my shia...but das got pretty gangsta at times. iirc "hard like a criminal" was pretty gangsta, although just a b-side, still gangsta...

"f.u. don't take it personal" - what type of message is that? "la schmoove"?!? lol. that was a hot track, but what type of message is that?
but seriously, let me make sure i understand your argument 100%
- blacks are a minority
- the white majority has demonstrated a preference for black music that reinforces negative stereotypes
- major record labels cater to this white majority as that is where the sales are
+ as a result: black music, and hip hop culture in general, is artificially imbalanced with music and content containing "self-destructive" and "negative" themes and messages. this imbalance is detrimental to the black community; and a result of basically the effects of a capitalist free market where the dominant consumer body prefers content that portrays the minority in a negative light...which would be a self-perpetuating self-reinforcing cycle per sé...
if this is your argument, it's hard to blame the record labels, they are simply trying to make a buck as best they know how. it seems like the true villain is the psychology of the larger white audience and their preference for these negative images...this isn't even an overtly hostile act, more of a byproduct of the collective psyche of the white audience...

About the opression thing, I gotta agree and disagree. I can see where you're coming from and how you think people are after you, and I know there is a majority who will always subconsciously down you because of the fact you're black, but you really can't use that as an excuse...anyone can succeed but it's your job, you can't always be blaming other things, because that is just stupid.

^I dont believe he was using it as an excuse. I think he was saying it's important nonetheless to see that those factors do exist and they cant be denied.
