Now you know... Ignorant people starting threads about music as if it represents one particular culture either never heard the music, don't know the people in their community or never walked into a music store and browsed thru the CD sections. The OP is obvious in that ignorance considering he intentionally didn't start this thread in the forum Music, Movies and Entertainment section @ https://www.elitetrader.com/et/forums/music-movies-and-entertainment.85/ in an effort to give the illusion its a Political issue. wrbtrader
Hip hop culture endorses violence, irresponsible behavior, and immature fashion. Whites may buy a lot of rap music but its the black community thats most influenced by it. Rap/ hip hop is bad news. I remember ebonics, it was a joke.
I'm willing to guess that Kyle Rittenhouse high school teenagers listen to Hip Hop music or he's a video game player of violent games that have Hip Hop music. I know Antioch High School via sports. My nephew baseball team played Antioch two years ago in a tournament...student body for the school were playing Hip Hop music...typical for most schools in the midwest to get the fans pumped up. That's a lot of exposure for a 15 year old (now 17). Maybe that's what caused him to illegally carry a firearm, cross state lines with the firearm (illegal) and then go to Wisconsin to protect property that's not his nor his parents. Hip Hop music corrupted his mind. Lets take it further, Kyle was surrounded / chased by White men...most carrying skateboards and one carrying a hand gun. They too must have been listening to Hip Hop music. Like the earlier posted music graph show...most listeners / buyers of Hip Hop music are White / Caucasian. It makes sense. Blaming violence on Hip Hop music is exactly the same as blaming the same violence on guns and not the people using it. The gun corrupted them...the gun made them commit violence. Its the NRA primary argument and rightfully so. The problem is the individual person...not the gun. Just the same...not the music. I can't wait for someone to start a thread blaming all this violence on Call of Duty video games. Ignorance wrbtrader
