That mentality of not being accountable for your actions is why this nation is falling. If this does not change we will continue to fall. Being poor or having a bad social background is no excuse for being a thug or a criminal.
Sadly the Democratic party has been drilling there is no such thing as self responsiblity into people's heads for years. For every white racist album or song I could post hundred more by black rapppers. nobody pays attention to the black racism but one single white racist album is posted on ET. Why is that?
jorge, The parents of those little white girls are racist. Those little girls will most likely continue their racism. I do not agree with their music/parents/lyrics. Give em cement shoes for all I care. I do not like them anymore than rap artists... its garbage.
This thread is quite an eye-opener. Someone describes how two young girls are being exploited to further an ugly, racist agenda, and he gets lambasted. Then, several people start justifying this agenda of gross indecency by virtue of other acts of stupidity and gross indecency. If the lowest common denominator here on ET had excellent vision and looked up, it couldn't even hope to see zero. I am hoping against hope that most of you are typing your posts from behind a prison wall.
Burtakus, thanks for that retard remark - you're quite the entertainer. It's great to hear you admit that the girl's message is racist, so we're on the same page there. I am however at a loss as to why I am a retard for "not acknowledging blah blah blah". You know, I didn't think that was the point of this thread, and it's surprising how hard it is to get so many others on this thread to admit what you so readily admitted. I'm curious as to how you can measure how much some people are racists. First of all, the USA is a genuine fruit salad when it comes to race and colour of people's skin: If someone who's 1/4 white and 3/4 black is a racist, how does he count? Or is it against whom his racism is directed which is counted? I don't know, but that sounds complicated to me. And what's this thing with a free pass? Who's dealing them out? What exactly is it? Is it plastic or paper? Is it for rap concerts? Listen, since I don't live in the US I only know what I've seen from business trips - and that is of course very different from living the dream (trying to score points here). The US of A is a big country, and as such it has its extremes. Along with things like the klan it also has african-american organisations crying "racism!" in cases where it's obvious it isn't. Louisiana in the news lately has had a few examples of both: With obvious racism by police officers attacking that defensless man (I know he came out later claiming he himself didn't feel he was a victim of racism), but on the other hand organisations claiming it was racism that the hurricane hit that particular beach. So, I totally agree with your statement that this has to go both ways. But, what was that whole "stop castigating white people" remark? Honestly, I can't get that. Perhaps you can enlighten me.
I do agree that every individual should be held accountable for their action. The crimes in that statistics should of course be punished, and the criminal should be sent to jail. I can't seem to hear an explanation from you as to why there is a connection between these statistics? Social status, unemployment and crime is linked - why, do you think? Are unemployed black people simply more irresponsible, or genetically programmed to be criminals? Is that what you think?
You're not asking the right question, which is: One man posts about a white racist album on ET, and the thread is derailed by a bunch of losers claiming that it ain't so bad, there are so many reasons for racism etc. Join the klan or something, and keep your excuses for racism out of ET.
Please understand that there are many blacks that are stand up adn model citizens who take responsibility for themselves adn are prodctive in society. You just don't hear about them since they are not generally topics of racism. In fact they are often abandoned by the "brothers" as being white when actually they just decided to take responsibility for themselves and do something about the situation. These people do not sell news stories or make headlines so you do not hear much about them. Very unfortunate.
