Personally I feel MLK was a great man, unlike Jesse Jackson and some of the other racist/corrupt self proclaimed black leaders. While I disagree that he should have his own holiday, he does and acting like these morons does nothing but promote hate.

With this being said, I also feel that all the people that put the "gansta" rap artists on a pedestal and dress and act like that disrespect MLK just as much or more. MLK was a deeply religious man and would roll in his grave if he saw how violent and drug ridden many black neighborhoods have become, glamorizing it makes it worst so I guess I would rather see people make fun of it in an appropriate setting, not to celebrate MLK's life.

I think a lot of Black people didn't actually listen or read what MLK said... Be judged by character, not by the colour of your skin.

Agree, Spit. +1 Jesse Jackson, Al Sharpton, and most rap stars are a disgrace to MLK's legacy.

One of my childhood friends died because he was a dumbass and got drawn into a dumbass world of dumbass crime by dumbass rap culture. There should be a law prohibiting idiots from becoming criminals...

Many black rap 'artists' do little to pay back all the hard work, effort and under-appreciation that serious black musicians went through in the past, reducing the modern concept of 'black music' to the heap of trash that festers today. Long live The Funk Brothers!

Ahhh... nothing like boorish Texas racist fratboy arseholes and the attention-hungry sorority girls who enable them.

I find it incredible that white fratboy racism is your vehicle for bitching about how disappointed you are in black America.

These kids are a bunch of privileged white kids who find their own blatant racism hee-larious. Yet the thing that sticks in your craw is that black neighborhoods are "violent and drug ridden" and that blacks glamorize the "gangsta" lifestyle? Why, because you judge all black Americans against Martin Luther King? WTF?

What about all the worthless, toothless white trailer trash wasting away across America? What about all the fatass white kids who play video games all day long? Do you hold them accountable for disrespecting George Washington and Benjamin Franklin? Wouldn't the founding fathers who fought for the freedom of Americans be rolling in their graves as well at the sight of how brainless, drug-ridden, and full of meth labs that rural America has become? And what about comedians like Jeff Foxworthy and Larry the Cable Guy, and Gretchen Wilson singer of "Redneck Woman" who celebrate that lifestyle? Would you rather see black people making fun of all that bullshit in an "appropriate setting", not to celebrate George Washington's life?

Glamorizing violent and drug-ridden neighborhoods is a bad thing, and so is finding fault in everyone but yourself.

All throughout my time at public school, I always wondered when Caucasian history month, Asian history month, middle-eastern history month or Hispanic history month would come up. Sadly, none of it ever happened, though administration was sure to shove the same old crap down our throats every February.

It's masculine culture, not just rap culture. Didn't some of the hardest rockers of all time glorify violence, drugs and crime as well?

Honestly, and I'm not being a racist here, but the majority of black people love the "Gang" look and idolize it and those who do gang related activities or songs about it being 'cool', and most of us normal, decent people frown upon that... a lot, that kind of activity promotes crime and violence by trying to imitate them, I personally hate all that crap (rap, hip-hop, gangs, crime, etc.) and I intend to keep doing it, and its not EVERY African-American who does that, some of my AA friends say its stupid and it shouldn't be looked as black culture, however the more retarded want to keep it as their culture and heritage... they had and will still have it coming if they keep idolizing crime, gangs and illegal activities.

Just my $0.02

Yes, but the really hardcore guys and they didn't do it in all their songs or the majority of their songs for that matter, Guns & Roses FTW!

uhh why shouldn't MLK have his own Holiday?

Mainstream hip-hop is garbage i won't deny that, but real hip-hop is not the kind of garbage you will be exposed to unless you actively look for it. Generalizing all Hip-hop, Rap and some how equating it to gangs and crime is called viewing the world through a narrow prism.

Yes, but the majority of rap and hip-hop songs idolize crime, gang activity, violence, greed and all that crap. I must say the OLD stuff is more mellow and non-gang or crime related, like the Will Smith songs, Miami for example, yeah thats Good rap, not at all like the new crap.

You only have to look at the wannabee Kray's and Godfathers to see that respect and admiration for people who fight up from virtually nothing is not something isolated to the black community. Look at all the non-black gangster related entertainment in the world. It's the same damn thing, but I don't see anyone saying the Sopranos should be banned. People who watch Goodfellas and assume that the majority of Italian Americans are mafia are just as bad as people who see a couple of lowest common denominator hip hop videos and assume that the majority of black people act the same way.

Er... no, it isn't.

Rac·ism

NOUN:

1. The belief that race accounts for differences in human character or ability and that a particular race is superior to others. [I don't think any race is superior to others, nor did I imply that]

2. Discrimination or prejudice based on race. [WHERE did I show hate or a discriminatory comment?]

Have a dream, that your children wont be judged by the color of their skin, but by the content of their characters. Its hard not to judge them when 7 year old Masta P comes to school with $3,000 in diamonds, shirts that are 3 sizes to large, and proceeds to blame all of his problems on the color of his skin. Irony? Maybe. Wrong? Definitely.

Because that's what sells. And do you know who actually buys it? I'll give you a clue, they live in suburbia...

Err... so it sells... what has that got to do with the fact that the majority of rap and hip-hop songs idolize crime, gang activity, violence, greed and all that crap besides the selling point of view? I'm just saying it's PROMOTING all that crime.

Nothing personal against you Cuju, but In my experience anytime people start a sentence with that sort of qualifier, what follows is always utter bullshit that smacks of racism. If people don't think what they're about to say is racist, why would they feel a need to qualify it? Why not just say it? It's the classic tell.

Here's a litmus test to determine if you're in denial as to whether your own opinions are racist:

Would you be comfortable explaining the opinion to a girl belonging to the racial group you're talking about, when her extremely huge boyfriend is sitting next to her listening?

Would you mind if someone videotaped you explaining your comments and uploaded them to youtube?

Not really, I wouldn't mind the girl thing, the youtube, well, it's the internet, lots will see it the wrong way, so no to youtube. Here's a nice test: Would you bang Beyonce and her 2 destiny's child friends, Halle Berry or the really cute black girl from Clueless?? Hell yeah! If you wouldn't you would be Gay and/or Racist .

The way I see it... if they were only making fun of gangstas, then that's not racist. If they specifically were saying that all black people were ignorant gangsta types, then that's racist. Otherwise, making fun of gangstas is justified.

People should also remember that gang members come in every color. Every race has its scum.
