Professor Elaine Richardson of Ohio State:

The latter.

I mean, we’ve grown accustomed to seeing running gun battles between orchestras…seems like a bloodbath every time the Philharmonic is in town.

“Too Funny!, experts thinks it’s a problem, normal people think they should continue killing themselves, maybe even step up their game to 1 a month...”

Well Thank Goodness that we now a certified Academics specializing in that field that we can award Government grant money to to “study the issues, and FIND ROOT Causes”

Lifetime employment for academics to study, and reinforce the need for Higher Ed to provide a BA/ MA/ PHD certification in “Hip Hop studies”.

“It’s all systemic, it’s a part of the way society is structured,”

The structure is based on daily decisions by the individuals involved.

Everyone’s a music critic...

Half-ounce died a natural death. Natural to his way of life.

I didn’t know we had rapper lifespan “experts”. Wow!

Those are the ones who can't mumble to a beat.

“It’s all systemic, it’s a part of the way society is structured,”

There was once a movement that believed that, and tried to do something about it. You can watch the movie "The Killing Fields" to find out about it.

Gun violence is “a part of the condition of Black people in society, everything that is dangerous and harmful to the larger society. There’s always going to be a disparity in our communities. It’s all systemic, it’s a part of the way society is structured,” Richardson added.

Is this "expert" saying that we should disarm Black people?!

Because that's what it sounds like he's saying!

“You have to think critically about oppression and the larger context we live in,” she said.”

Elaine should be stripped of her teaching credentials, summarily fired, and then ridden off the campus on a rail.

[dfwgator]

She sounds like her teacher was Oswald Bates.

[Steely Tom]

She pins every needle.

[mjp]

It’s a reflection of the problem of gun violence in the larger society, and violence in general in America

translation: it's society's fault. Where's the reparations?

and don’t get me started on those barbershop quartets either
