Have you ever heard any of these "songs"? I'd say there's at least a 1 in 3 chance your child has, especially if they're a teenager. As an adult you need to be aware of this stuff 'cause it's out there. It may even be in your house right now in one digital format or another. The point isn't censorship, it's open discussion. Words mean things.
Tipper Gore reversed herself and is okay with this sort of thing now.
Go Hollywoooood!
The monster that wrote those lyrics needs to be culled.
This has been going on for a generation. Didn’t Charlton Heston confront some music company (Sony? I don’t remember) during an annual meeting and shame them by reading the lyrics of a rap song?
My only problem with this article is why the author didn’t immediately go to the parents and ask: what the hell are you letting your little kid listen to??? Why pussyfoot around the topic?
i take it he’s never seen blazing saddles.
It's wonderful! Complex rhythms, harmonies, beautiful sounds.
Yet these "African-Americans" listen only to this rap, hip-hop trash.
Pathetic!
Why is a 14 year old listening to 1500 vulgar songs and the parents don’t have a clue or don’t care?
That’s the real question.
You may not be able to stop them from encountering the music when they are with their friends or away from home, but you can lead by example and not allow it around your house and family.
Kids pick up on this. They want leadership and strength from their parents even when they rebel or are confused. Deep down they appreciate it later.
Seriously, the only question that really matters is WHY she is allowed to have all that crap on her personal ipod?
Too bad I can’t unread this.
I just saw a video on Yahoo today that made the point that more black families are home schooling. Maybe this is why.
...and America is raising an entire generation of them.
*sigh*
...But yet, Reverend Al and Jesse Jackson called for Don Imus to be fired (which he was) and almost destroyed his career because he made one “nappy headed ho” joke.
Such is the black culture. Filthy language and degraded behavior and murdering each other is the norm.
The culture in this country has been greatly debased since the 1960s and the implementation of that rat bas**rd LBJ’s “great society”. Unless a drastic change occurs, such as completely getting rid of the welfare state, it’s hard to see how the nation can ever return to its former greatness.
“...almost destroyed his career because he made one nappy headed ho joke.”
Remember Howard Cosell’s comment that DID end his career?
The best few pages I’ve ever read about the absurdity of misplaced race sensitivity is in the beginning of Dan Jenkins’ “Semi Tough”, written around 1970.
Very good treatment for runaway political correctness and terminal hand-wringing sensitivity. And hilarious, as well.
And to think a couple of generations back these same folks gave us the wonder of The Motown Sound....
Thankfully, they’re practically an endangered species in my state. The little gang-banging drug dealers keep coming up from points south and keep getting lead poisoning; two more diagnosed this week. Good thing ‘my people’ know how to shoot too.
I know the Good Lord is coming back...
But shouldn’t He be here by now?
I mean, He is paying attention, isn’t He?
Through PC, integration and the Federal government's blind insistence “everyone is equal”, we have forceably indoctrinated our poor children into the sad world of black street culture. Our innocent kids see the blacks in school get away with everything and looking too cool in the process. Its no wonder our previously innocent children are now diehard wannabes, not to mention the mass of stupid parents that say very little and maybe even say “its good to be open minded” when their kids listen to this crap. And what has been the benefit? None, if anything the blacks have been shown this stuff is cool and go for it even more. Thanks you, LBJ!
