re: How much do you think rap music/hip-hop hurt the culture of American Blacks?

I never said I blamed hip hop. Obviously the issue is really complex, but don't act like it hasn't been a factor in some sense. Only a stupid person would think its irrelevant.

I saw with my own eyes how rap/hip-hop altered behaviors, it taught kids at a ripe and impressionable age what "cool" is/was.

Ever heard of confirmation bias? Black kids hear the music, they expect their lives to mirror the music. Did you ever hear any rap lyrics really discuss a SOLUTION to the problem? I just remember "frick the police, get money, get hoes".
