The truth of the matter is while violence and misogynism is prevelant in mainstream entertainment as it is in hip hop, when it comes to having an influence on OUR kids, Hip Hop has a much further reach and grasp on the minds and perspective OUR youth. Its sad but OUR kids aren't trying to grow up to be superheros instead they are trying to be the next 50 or Jay z. If saving our community is your top priority you need to be ready to fight the battle on BOTH fronts--from within and the outside. 50 or Jay z calling your sister a bitch is just as detrimental as hollywood doing it.

If you're concern with helping out the black community and particiularly empowering the youth, why are you defending a medium that has consistently poisoned our kids minds with dreams of slinging and stunning on 24s.
