If your response is gangsters needs to stop being gangsters, drug dealers need to stop dealing drugs, and fathers that leave need to stop leaving, this might be TRUE, but it is ultimately unhelpful, unless you are attempting to assign blame instead of fixing the problem. Not to sound like a shit... but how do you fix a problem if you don't identify the source of it first? Assigning blame is more than just saying "its your fault", but identifying whos fault it is in the first place. Once that's established, you can start to look at root causes for said behavior and go from there. Everything accurate that he said was effectively said already. He didn't identify a new cause, he just said the same thing everyone else said with the added tag that "the laws might be dumb, but they're the law." If you read that statement as is, you can only say "duh". The "No Snitching" culture is partly held together on the fact that people who collaborate with police are not protected from the backlash of their own communities. Gangsta culture is not really a thing, other than perhaps in modern hip hop music, and while that is probably not helpful, I sincerely doubt it is a big contributor to the homicide rate. The music reflects reality, so rappers rap about what they know/what they pretend to know (some rappers aren't actually gangsta). The dangerous nature of the neighborhoods leads to gangsta hip hop rap where the culture encourages you to toughen up to protect yourself, which in turn leads to rappers rap about how tough they are "on the streets". --- "I'm not racist but, BLM sure did make me racist." -Skasa I'm just here to offer you advice, take it or leave it. <cite>AdviceMan posted [p:894164441] in Looked at ...
