Wow you guys! I wouldn't be so quick to call her ignorant. how, many of you can say that you graduated w/ honors at 16, attended Columbia U on a full ride at 16, and has done tons of humanitarian work to try to better the community? I'll take a guess an say none of you. So stop judging the person based on 1 quote that wasn't even shown in full context.

Not all slaves brought here were captured by white men MOST actually came from other Africans capturing other Africans and giving them to the white men for money or the promise to not take any of them. Which ofcourse they did not keep. I do think that rap is so wrong and bad. It degrades women and makes young girls only see themselves as what they can offer men. Im black and I only listen to R&B love songs and the really slight rap songs (Soulja Boy) Like someone said TI and all them dont sell drugs anymore. I mean that would be dumb. Oh I make millions of dollars the legal way now Im going to go make $200 from selling weed. I dont like what rap has turned into.

So Lets See, We Have The Heroin, The Crack Cocaine, Gangsta-Rap, How about the M-D 20/20; or was that when you were just-a-Nappy headed Baby; Or Pitchin' Pennies in the Alley; Many a -Negro man came to an early demise, gamblin, you know? Did we do that too? We created all of this just to Muss the Black man up? No Alicia we've just been trying to get yall back to Africa as Quickly as Possible.......So, Have you left yet?
May 17 2008 at 11:05 PM Report abuse Permalink rate up rate down ReplyYou know that really irritates me when people make stupid statements like that. A "ploy" ... by who? Let me guess - "THE MAN". Like the other ludicris comments made recently, did THE MAN do this before or after he created AIDS? THE MAN really must be one busy SOB. I find it interesting that people never want to take responsibility for their choices or circumstances. Alicia, here's a big cup of SHUT THE F### UP B$$$$ ... hey that could be a rap song, because it was just oozing with love and respect.
Alicia is quite educated. All of you should do your homework and you may understand where she is coming from. It takes an idiot to think that she is meaning that Blacks only began having issues in the community when gangsta rap came along. She is not saying that at all. She knows there was already a problem. Just as there where problems before crack hit the inner city. However.....Crack and Gangsta Rap added fuel to a flame. It doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure out that music can tear down as much as it can inspire. If I listened to a song that said "Kill the Niggas" all day long.....Sorry....It's not a stretch to wonder if I might be influenced into a certain mind set. MORONS.....STOP HAVING SELECTIVE LISTENING! KNOW THE CONTEXT OF WHAT IS BEING SAID BEFORE YOU RUSH TO JUDGEMENT.
