>>have affected your stance regarding the needs of the black community
Hasn’t affected my stance a bit.
They need to give up the thug life.
They need to pull their pants up.
They need to get an education.
They need to get a job.
They need to marry a girl.
They need to have children.
They need to do it in that order.
I would add at the beginning of that list that they need to stop listening to hate-filled, violent, angry rap, and stop worshipping and wanting to be a rapper/gangsta.
The people who think what music you listen to has no effect on that person are’nuts. You listen to that angry, hate filled,’violent stuff most of your waking time it’s going to have a negative effect on your perspective of life and ‘other people.
