I remember early rap from the 70’s and 80’s that was blue as hell. Had to hear it in the barracks.

Sure (2LiveCrew, anyone?), but at least back then respectable rap existed. Since the early 90s, it's ALL gangster or graphically sexual.

[Boogieman]

Haha, yeah, the “noisy cricket”.

[Boogieman]

Why you have to toss him into the mix?

“What we’re really talking about in this issue is people walking around the street with guns that can make a decision whether or not they’re going to kill someone, right,” he continued. “And that’s even more difficult, because there’s really no way back from that.

It's really only a big problem in democrat majority districts.

“gun culture” is overly broad.

Like Bloomberg says, it is the minority community that has the violent ideology.

White people have the same rules that blacks work under but don’t have the same violent ideology.

NOTE” the use of the phrase “violent ideology” us intentionally emphasized. Use it too.

Well .. your name says it all .. because your statement is “fuzzy logic”.

You cannot be in reality if you are PC .. because PC is where people make up stuff to sound good or look good; and it has nothing whatsoever to do with reality.

Good old “HOLLYWOOD”

“Since the early 90s, it’s ALL gangster or graphically sexual.”

My kids listen to Christian rap! I can’t stand it, but at least the lyrics have a good message. (If one can understand them!)

My one daughter also likes “screamo” Christian music. Worse than rap!!

“I’ve always been telling my sons, ‘We have to separate fault from responsibility,’” he said. Then Will Smith is comfortable misleading his sons. What an illiterate, idiotic distinction to make.

If you read the rest of the sentence/paragraph, it was actually one of the most sensible statements in the whole article.

So, you disagree and can only attack my handle, civility is lacking here on FR sometimes - does it make you feel smart? The term doesn’t mean “confused”, maybe you should educate yourself before you look foolish.

You’re also wrong. He’s only saying some PC crap because he has to, I stand by my main comments you ignore.

[CyberAnt]

BoooooHooooooo!!!!!!

[fuzzylogic]

Like I said - civility.

“His kids are freaky-weird though, so...”

They gave them those narcissistic Jon-Benet first names.

Black culture is responsible for the black deaths in this country.

The gun culture is at the range shooting peacefully.

[Red in Blue PA]

Remember when he was given the cricket gun???

Uh no. Most of his movies are unwatchable. And thus, I don't.

“The Pursuit of Happyness” was a decent movie. I’d recommend it.
