When black rappers rap about assaulting, abusing & murdering other black people, it's accepted and promoted. Part of 'the culture'.

If non-black rappers rapped about assaulting and murdering their own, they'd be considered mentally ill.

Think about the implications of this...
People are so accustomed to black on black violence and its glorification, that it's considered totally normal. It's mainstream.

People ride and dance to songs that could be KKK anthems if performed by a white artist... But if you denounce it, YOU will be called a 'sellout'.
If 'systemic racism' truly exists, it's not in the places people think it is.

It lies in the magnification of voices and images that make black people look dangerous, or like needy victims, and suppression of voices and images that are positive and don't reinforce victimhood.
Certain communities need to do some serious soul searching.

It's so ingrained that people don't even think about this stuff. Total uphill battle. A lonely one too.
Some people think pointing out stuff like this is an 'attack on black people'.

It's not. In fact, it's the opposite.

It's holding all adults to the same standards. To expect any less from a particular group is demeaning and insulting.
