Current Events > Is the "Read A Book" music video considered racist?

(+) Yeah! (+)

The song by D'Mite. The music video is on youtube. It is a bit vulgar.

I personally see it as a black man who wants to change the statistics of black youth making all the wrong choices. The thing is though, it could be seen as an attack.

For those of you who have seen it, what are your thoughts?

I think it's primarily a comedy piece, not trying to motivate and not racist.

The thing is, many in the comment section call it out as racist.

criticism isn't racist

I find it interesting how when people (especially black Americans) try to point out that some parts of black American culture like gang culture, drug culture, love of violence is harmful to them, there's outrage.

It's like people actually get more angry at others trying to help black Americans clean up their communities by TALKING about it first, rather then getting more angry at the countless amount of their black American countrymen and countrywomen who are being gunned down by violence.

I fucking hate progressives.
