Unpopular Music Opinions

I dunno about Trayvon tbh...he was ingesting a lot of "purple drank" and wasn't exactly the nicest guy you'd want to meet either. Zimmerman probably would have died if he hadn't defended himself...so the whole thing's just a tragedy. No wonder its such an inspiration to up-and-coming rappers.

And Serj looks too middle eastern too so that's another flag raised.

Well they're Armenian-American

No, certain kinds of content in hip-hop music radio or not.

What do you mean by "Outlash"?

What is your definition of "Outlash"?

You mean backlash?

How are white people back lashed? lol

2pac did not shoot or hang anybody white. That is an example of an "outlash"/backlash.

He just basically said the system is full of crap and despite a post civil rights era black people are still socioeconomically oppressed. He did not say anything that was not true.

Outlash - Outburst, a strike or simply "lash out."

Okay, to break it down simply, an example:

Again, I'm talking about content in music, not actually what they did.

How can you be color blind and racist ? Rethink that one for me will you...Or lay it one me. What the hell do you mean?

YES, raped. It is a bold word but I am using it because that is the severity of what has happened. Like I said Hip Hop was much more than a genre, it was a culture that has been pretty much destroyed and continues to destroy the black community as we speak.

Color blind is pretending to ignore race and acting as if race or ethnicity has no meaning. So it is pretty much ignoring cultural and ethnic differences. It is not taking into consideration that cultural differences exist and those differences influences perspectives and experiences that will differ for someone of a different ethnic.

Racism is creating a ignorant superiority negative attitude or overt action against someone because their ethnicity/race is different from theres. It is deep seeded hatred against someone because of a different race or skin tone.

Yea they are different. Racism is acknowledging those differences and making a decision not to like people based off those differences. Color blindness is ignoring those differences all together.

What do you mean by this because I am really offended by this igorant comment?

This is not funny or nothing to smile about

This has nothing to do about being nice or mean. You do not have a right to judge him as a person because you have never meant him and do not know him personally.

This young black man was walking home from a grocery store and a police watch cop saw him and stereotyped him. He even said that out his own mouth on the tape.

He said "these punks always get away"

What punks?

Because he had a hoody on?

Because he is black?

He was walking home minding his business from a grocery store

Zimmerman was on the phone talking to another cop and the cop instructed him NOT to get out of his car and he got out of his car anyway.
He completely ignored and violated what the police instructed him NOT to do.

HE was the one that followed Trayvon.

HE was the one that initiated that altercation and I believe he did that on purpose.

Trayvon reacted like any young man would have did.

For all he knew Zimmerman could have been trying to jump him or rob him.

The person you talk to you on the phone has no control over the situation.

Trayvon Martin was a punk ass kid, and I think it's highly unlikely that your story about him just walking about, minding his own business, was true. If it was, then why did he react with such extreme violence? He was beating the piss out of Zimmerman for some reason, right? At that point, Zimmerman has the right to defend himself, because there's a chance he could have been killed. It's called reality, you don't wait and hope someone lets up on you, it doesn't matter if you were perceived as the one who instigated the fight, you make sure you're still breathing. That means if he's beating your ass to a pulp, and you have a gun, you shoot that ****er until he stops hitting you. If he's fleeing the scene after he's beaten your ass, and you can still move, you let him go.

I don't expect for you to "get it" so it is okay.
