“What is really worse? Materialism and the objectification of women, or desensitizing children to war and draft scenarios (the kids going to war were like 17ish), as well as (in this scenario) the obvious political message pertaining to Iraq?”
I think that the massive unwanted pregancy and murder rates in black parts of town across North America and beyond will last way longer than the Iraq war.
Current trends in black culture will create misery that will last for at least several lifetimes.
Music videos aren’t “art”- they’re advertisements. Just commercials to sell CDs and concert tickets. There was a brief, naive moment right after their inception that the medium teetered on taking itself seriously as an art form in it’s own right. Then it woke up.
What I mean is that the rap dudes claim they’re just a mirror held up to the times, while others claim they’re helping to create the mess then profit from it. Hence the Escher reference.
Yes, well I’ve heard the morally bankrupt excuse, “if I don doit den some udda mon gonna,” rationale many times. That’s another short-sighted blackism that I can stand. You do not have to perpetuate negativity just because it exists. Those guys are like a virus.
To expand on that, black people will either melt into the population of white or slowly get killed, ironically by each other, or be sterilized by long prison sentences.
Yeah, it’s called Africa!
It’s the home of butt fucking used to cure AIDS and non-stop murder, not to mention the home of religious mania that has lasted for centuries (but that’s the white people).
Do you want to know what the biggest anti-black movement is? It’s not being anti-black!
I predict extinction in a few thousand years, if that.
No people in the world are so clearly going down in flames. Black people haven’t been doing well in thousands of years, and yet it rarely gets addressed on any grand scale.
