The Trumpiana madness has spread to a lot of unexpected places. But a lot of rap/hip-hop does have unabashed patriarchal-bullying elements in it, and though I am pale of face, I still wonder why American blacks aren't riled up about how this exploits their sub-society (with most music moguls white)
Or, aren't riled up in notable numbers.
To me, this reflects too-easily accepted unethical behavior from white sub-society and doesn't exactly help trans-racial comity. I see American black people pushing back about a lot today, but... why not this. At some point "the language of the oppressed" gets seen as the language of compromise.
or, I should say, deserves to get seen as...
I say this as a classic Christian who sees that skins come in biologically determined colors but that souls don't have to be shoved into that mold. OK I guess that's it for me
You make some valid points But you may be unaware that these very conversations are & have been happening in the Black community for quite some time now I'm simply adding my voice to my community conversation on this because it directly impacts me
I'd hope that yes, it's being talked about more and more. It seems that a number of recent "black culture sellouts to the White Man" have been along these lines, and even as a pale face I can say I have foreseen it. The guy who fantasizes a Black rampage will fantasize being close to the White Man
But not close in a good way
At least for now Black people can freely express views contrary to each other Snoop isn't the first or last Black person who will selfishly abandon what is better for the group in the long run to protect himself He'll learn the hard way proximity to power ≠power
Well... getting near to evil power isn't where an understanding person would want to be anyhow.
As a classic but not nationalist Christian, it looks to me like a classic hypocrisy. I do confess to believing sexual purity preferable, but also believe it's worth putting the effort into an embracing relationship with the spirit of Christ in order to do it. This isn't happening in Snoopland.
Snoopland is serving up cheap-arsed catcalls. He probably knows quite well how a sensible person, even if disagreeing with the wisdom of it for spiritual reasons, would answer it.
Safe to say Snoop is as much a christian as Trump Which means not at all unless it pays better than debauchery
