I think Hip-Hop is a contributing factor to this problem. Lets think about it for a second....how many black children want to grow up and be lawyers, doctors, teachers, etc. Probably quite a few.
Now, how many black children want to grow up to be a **Rap Star**. MILLIONS.
Why? Because thats where the easy money is at. Because you dont need an education to do it. You can even break the laws of this country and probably get away with it. LOL Rap artists (
) have proven this time and again...even just simple things like their flagrant misuse of the basic foundation of our educational system: THE ENGLISH LANGUAGE. Yes I realize that there are other forms of music with the same problem, but I think you would be hard-pressed to find a modern rap CD that isnt full of slang, word misuse, vulgarity, and basically everything that is anti-educational.
These rappers are role models for the young black communities. If these kids hear nothing but uneducated crap from those role models, then that does have an adverse affect.
thoughts?
