Is rap culture dangerous?

[Marelise]

Hi there,

I blame the rap culture when it comes to the corruption of youths in this country. Why you might ask? For one thing it promotes the idea of rebellion. It teaches young kids that drugs are OK, that you should want more money, and nothing else. It also teaches young boys to treat women like bitches. The rap culture is like the black plague. When it moves into society it slowly takes over civilized white children who I might add already have emotion problems from other things. The white child could have it so much better, but thanks to the rap culture that might not happen, unless someone vaccinates the beast. Do you believe the rap culture is dangerous?

Oh lord. That's like asking if the Rock N' Roll Culture is dangerous. Of course its NOT dangerous. A gun is only dangerous when in the hands of a nut or the hands of someone who doesn't know how to be careful.

Ehh, and why are only white children affected by this?

All youth cultures in the last 60 years have been rebellious in their own way, that's the point of being a teenager XD. Drugs and violence are just as much promoted by the rock scene, various dance scenes and others.

Music isn't dangerous. It reaches across many cultures and connects many people.



However, I believe negative bigoted racist attitudes are extremely dangerous as people preach ideas which have been taught to them without even trying to understand the meaning of what they are saying or whether the ideas they are preaching have any basis in fact.

Sorry, but I totally disagree. You stick with the stereotypes that you were brought up with. You're thinking of the typical rappers like Lil Wayne etc. They're not serious, you do know it's only music, right?



I listen to Grime. It's like rap. Try listening to this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HcMPya4V_1o

This is like the opposite...



I understand it's your opinion, as is this mine, but you need to look past the stereotypes.
