Answer 1

Lol its not "Gangsta Rap", better to say that rap is a product of the problem of all of them. Which is namly to say that were seeing something that isn't there, namly race. It's all a product of an underlining ignorance that if your going to go thru the trouble of seperateing people you need to do it intellegently, not by skin color I mean come on are we not more complicate then birds, then insect? If we look at hertiage too then we would find that we would split all the races into possiable thousands of ethical backgrounds. But I'm getting off the topic. Its generalizations that are killing the society. That all people are a certian way, that one word can sum up individuals into groups, its all simplifing things that were never met to be simplified. We all have complicated background that doesn't even get respect'd as being part of the individual. Instead my skin color defines more who I'm then the parents that raised me or the country I haul from. It personal seems like away for a govnerment to keep its people divided and fighting amougst themselves instead of changing the govnerment to keep them from fight with each other. We need to accept that people are individuals and just because I belong to one group, doesn't mean that group defines me. No one whats to be classified yet were more then welling to pick up these labels, like I'm white, I'm Black, like that defines us better then are own individual names... something sinister is going on...
