Has rap music caused you to have a negative view on black men?

Answer 1

yes

Answer 2

Yes, but that's not the only reason.

Besides rap music (which I don't consider to be music, since it doesn't have harmony and melody--it's mostly talking to a beat, and it tends to glorify violence and crime, especially on women), black men also have a very high conviction rate for violent crimes. Many of them also have difficulty caring for the children they produce. Many of them also have great difficulty using English correctly.

I like seeing black men together with their women and children as families, and I appreciate black men whose musical interests include real music, not just rap. I like being able to have an intelligent conversation with any black person.

Black men apparently run most countries in Africa, and that place seems to be lagging in lots of ways: politically, medically, socially, economically, and so on. There is currently a possible genocide going on in Darfur, Sudan, and no countries are using their resources to help--just like in Rwanda in the 1990s. Why is this?

The cities and states in the USA with the highest concentrations of black people always have the highest murder and other crime rates, too, and the worst student test scores. Public housing is usually populated with mostly black people. Why is this?

I don't think it's just the rap music that causes some people to have a negative view of black men, and black people in general.

For the record, I'm not a racist, but I can see reality pretty well. I invite any black person to email me, because I'd like to learn more about their situation and why the things I listed above are that way.

Answer 3

Whaaaaaaaaaat is this a trick question?
Why should it? Should It?
How about if I didn't know that the rap singer was black?
Whats up with there being a difference because of skin tone? If that rap singer was Jewish or Catholic, Irish or German would. pink or purple make a difference? Why in the world would race creed color names or anything that shows a difference of appearance MAKE A DIFFERENCE OF WHAT YOU APPRECIATE FROM THE MAGIC OF WHAT PEOPLE ARE TOTALLY TALENTED WITH TO SHARE WITH OTHERS I really wish that I had something to give for others, something to make them smile.
I was not put On this earth to judge any one (at least I don't think so) I really appreciate anyone that has the WHAT EVER TO PUT A SMILE on any ones face especially the ones that I love. And I love to go around all day singing to myself, even if I have the wrong words (which is usual) What more is needed at times to make a person feel good but a smile for themselves OR a simple thing is to give a smile to someone else FOR NO REASON

I'm so sorry to answer Your ? with alot of ?'s
And Also I wrote a feekin NOVEL

Try and smile sometimes it works!

Answer 4

Not at all! Rap is an inventive way to vent, nothing more. Some blacks give me a negative view of black men, for example earlier on hear a black man asked why black ladies are so ugly and I found this very disrespectful to his own race.

Answer 5

Black men has cause me and everyone else to have a negative view of black men.
They (most) beheave like animals, are loud,and have the largest kill, and crime rate on earth. They are the whinnest race on earth. Every city, state, country in the world which gets a sizable black male population wil see the crime go up.
It isn't just me so don't go there. The new leader of the NAACP also said that black people need to clean up their act and act like people and quit whinning about a slavery they never lived though.

Answer 6

No Wayyyyyyyyy!!! I am a white male who loves Rap music, and I will back that music to the end, because it's real, and its made me the person that I am today.

All I have to say is that I respect the real Black Rappers who know what they are talking about. Lil' Wayne, The Game, Dre, and a few others are the only ligit rappers still out there. F u c k 50 cent and all of G-unit, cause all of them rappers is in the club huggin and being ****** like. GGG GGG GGG G-UNOT!!!!!!

THE GAME forever!!! 300 Bars and Running!!!

Answer 7

Not rap music so much as the "Gangsta" thug culture. And the saddest part is that so many Black women seem to buy into the "we ain't nothing but bitches and ho's" crap...look at just about any rap video.
No wonder there are so many problems in the Black community. Aaron McGruder was right, in his "Martin Luther King Returns" episode of Boondocks. Hell of a shame...what White racists couldn't do in four hundred years, Black people are doing to themselves.

Answer 8

Not all black men, but it is sad to say I do have a bias towards the one's that dress like gansters because of rap. They talk so direspectfully sometimes. But on the flipside of this they can also talk alot of sense too. They just need to be careful about what they put out, cuz it comes back to there community whether they like it or not.

Answer 9

It hasn't caused me to view black men (or women) negatively, but it has caused me to view rappers (including the few white ones) negatively. Does that count?

Answer 10

No

but my politicians have caused me to have a negative view of people in power.

Answer 11

no, do country music cause anyone to have negative view on white men; come on- people views on any one of any color is because of their experiences
