It's not about color, ethnicity or national origin. It's about culture.

Mainstream urban culture with it's music, dance, social etiquettes and customs has increasingly become more uncivilized and psychopathic.

Whatever happened to jazz, blues or r&b.

I am no perfect person I listen to some hip hop but the direction it is continually going is towards more deviant and destructive behavior.

We cannot let psychopaths run the culture. We must have sane, rational and compassionate humans lead us.

The same argument was made about rock music when it ventured into punk and metal. And you can claim it’s not about color or ethnicity, but it does matter who’s listening that determines who panics.

@bijouxbroussard I don't disagree with the same argument being made. However rock, punk and metal are not mainstream right now. It doesn't have the same mass influence as mainstream hip hop does.

@bijouxbroussard If sadistic metal or punk music was mainstream and it's cultural lingo was virtually every where I go then id probably be making the same argument for it.

It’s the same story, it really is. Blues, jazz, even swing was mostly ignored while segregated to our community. But once white musicians became interested and white kids started learning the slang and the dances around it, the mainstream community first tried to quash it, then appropriate it. They did the same thing with early rock/r&b, through folks like Elvis Presley. And that’s what has been happening with Rap/hip-hop. You don’t want it to be part of the mainstream, tell your kids to stop listening and downloading it. And lots of luck.

Speaking of "urban" slang, the main word the mainstream community needs to stop using is "woke". None of them knows what it means ! 😩
