Should Hip-Hop culture have been suppressed?

[Asclepias]

I find Hip Hop simply rhythm and noise. Devoid to the great themes found in Rythmn and Blues. No one can whistle a Hip Hop tune. No one can empathize with Hip Hop artists in themes of lost love, new love, joyful youth and youthful angst. But, that's okay. Someday Hip Hop enthusiasts will discover melody and harmony. They will inevitably grow up and deepen their life experiences..

You must not know about any hip hop songs if you think that. Especially the empathy part.

Wow, you sound like a member of the PC Police.

dear, its not PC to oppose Nazis, its intelligent. Do you understand?

 

[EdwardBaiamonte]

I'm not afraid of words. They teach us things.

.

100% stupid!! HItler used words to make a nation of Nazis, and liberals used words to create hip hop or thug culture in America that has amounted to a near genocide against American blacks.

Trying to smother expression is shallow thinking, a waste of time, and most likely counterproductive.
.

Of course we must try to smother Nazi thinking and 1000 kinds of thinking that are not consistent with civilized behavior.

I disagree. We can smother actions of Nazis, but not their thinking. Ya see, we have that pesky constitution to follow. Thinking is encouraged, not to be smothered. But when people commit actual crimes rather than thought crimes, we must act. But we should NEVER act on thought or the perceived actions those thoughts might create.

Exactly... you're free to be as big an asshole as you like, until it infringes on another's rights.

We're not talking about opposing, we're talking about suppressing speech.

Even Nazis (you appear to be comparing them to rap culture somehow) are allowed freedom of speech.

Do you understand?

That's okay. I am not about to repress a culture I'm not familiar with. I've had my shot at pop culture. I left pop culture with the evil mixture of singer-song writers and disco. Mine was a generation caught between Vietnam and Calvin Klein.

dear, one bullet in 1933 would have spared the world a world war that killed 60 million!! Thats why we formed the CIA.

Hip Hop has caused more damage to this country than all the combined military type equipment used by local LEOs.

dear, Hitler did not infringe until well after he was elected. THe time to stop liberals is before they are elected.

yes dear I understand nazis were allowed freedom of speech in Germany and used it to win election and attempt a military take over of the world that killed 60 million and might have turned out differently. Do you undersrand??

So you're equating pop culture with National Socialism? Would you plant assassins in recording studios?

Perhaps, dear, you could clarify how you've gone from rappers to Nazi Germany.

You're clearly afraid of words, so some connection here would be very instructive.

I think the answer might just be "yes".

People that think Hip Hop is damaging must have a daughter thats out there twerking to entertain Black guys at a club. No your daughter was going to be ho regardless of if hip hop existed. You didnt teach her right from wrong. Your fault. Not Hip Hops.

its too late for that the cancer has spread very widely. There was no assassinating the nazis when they were already the dominate culture.

Somewhere a ledge is calling your name. Perhaps you should climb out on one just to see if it fits.
