Black History Month Still Relevant?

If you want to tell your kids all the bad things white people do QuDDus. You have the right to. I can\'t believe you really believe we should all live in the past. Well, Jews killed Jesus... lets all remember that.

And if you think white people are seeing a bad image of blacks... thats not our problem. Maybe everyone should stop putting the thug culture on such a high pedestal.

Very true.  Heck, just look at the rapper mentality.  THey are making kids think of thug life as propper and just.  They make it look like every kid is supposed to carry a gun.

Could you see Sting or Billy Joel in a 50 Cent video?

there really aren\'t role models for black kids. Probably \'cos there\'sno money in it. It seem any black folks with talent and ambition just want to make music that degrades themselves and objectifies their women. And don\'t bring up MLK, \'cos even he couldn\'t keep it in his pants.

MLK did more than bone and rap about ho\'s..so why even talk about similarities between rappers to MLK,lol.

abe lincoln probably boned his slaves..so should we take what he did away?

You know the fact that he compared MLK to rapper just continues to show just how things are really fucked up.

And for your information halberto it is the media that exploits these false images of black ppl. As far as rap culuture is concern a majority of it I don\'t have a problem with.

It\'s the rediculous crap that gets all the exposure and white ppl believe thats how african americans are.

And hal if you want me to forget the past then fuck you. Just because I remember the past does not mean I am living it. I don\'t judge white ppl and I don\'t see them all as devils. The fact that all black ppl have to be judge on what people see in rap videos. That really pisses me off.

The fact that vid brought up rap videos when he talks about african americans as whole just shows how far this soceity still has to go.

I don\'t judge white ppl off the poor white trash, crack loving mages I see all the time.

Exactly...  Blacks are perpetuating the stereotype with their own actions.

wow...if even if the afri. american is doing something positive for EVERYBODY...in this case MLK...he better be flawless...pathetic :rolleyes:...I agree with you tho to some extent as far as degrading themselves and women...afri. americans have to take some responsibilty for that...on the flip side tho...THAT is thee only type of rap that will get air time...if you\'re spewing something positive...it won\'t see the light of day...

And who do you think gets the overall say over what will get played?...riiight..those ceo\'s who most likely are white...even tho puff and others own their own record label, they still have somebody that owns them....still..i believe black folk have to take some responsilbility for that...

as far as the rappers glamorizing that life...sometimes that life is all they know. Other times they choose to do it. And as much as they are glamorizing it..it is obviously makin money from more than just the afri. american fanbase...:fro:...you and Vid probably have a couple rap cd\'s in your collection....and i\'m not talkin\' will smith..i\'m talkin\' the kind you so desperately despise...fiddy...the game?....

No rap.  Except for some old school LL

If what you say is true, then that\'s the kind of thing King was looking for. Race does not divide us.
