Instead when I turn on the television I'll seerappers doing a concert spreading more of these ideals aboutwhat it means to be AA to our childrenas well as others..........

I hear you on this girlfromthenc,
An 'urban' not 'black' culture that promotes the pursuit of fashionable designer lables that cost an arm and a leg, but doesn't promote the education to get the lables, an 'urban' culture that promotes 'tribalism' but doesnt encourage 'togetherness' an 'urban' culture that promotes 'violance gun and knive' use but doesnt encourage 'cooperation' an 'urban' culture that promotes inarticulat and foul language' but doesn't encourage 'discussion' an 'urban' culture that promotes 'slackness and dissrespect for women' but doesn't promote 'family and loyalty' an 'urban' culture that promotes 'materialistic pride' but doesnt promote 'racial pride'....yes you read right RACIAL PRIDE it's not a word just for white people.
Far too many are dazzled by what appears to be an exciting life-style. They go on about the 'family' and the sense of 'togetherness' they feel with other of their gang, crew.
My question is ''Where is their biological family''?
Throughout all the mouthing off within the black community, people still don't want to recognise the harm that some of this cr@p is causing them and their kids. It's like the rhythm and bass-line is so hypnotic that people will dissregaurd the majour problems it is causing.
I think its time for people to 'back up' what they are saying by not bying this 'music' untill they (they the people behind the music) get themselves together and start promoting a more positive image for our kids.
