To me it looked like elevating people that are thugs and criminals to positions of admiration.
Your argument is that cops aren't the ones that are to blame, but the culture of black people. It's as if cops don't have a long history of lynchings, and grave injustice especially towards the black people. There's nothing to argue over here, it's not NWA that is to blame, it's the culture of racist slave catching patrols that preceded the cops we know today that is to blame, wholly and singularly.
You think that the history of racism, of institutional discrimination to the point that black people aren't afforded the status of sovereign Americans even to this days, but only "US Citizens", which is nothing more than a title for federal employees, wards of the state, in other words they aren't secured any protections over their rights by the Bill of Rights, but only the privileges or Civil Rights, somehow that culture somehow started to go away with MLK.
The only crooks, the only criminals aren't the "thugs" but the actual thugs that are police, that are military in equipment and appearance, denoting the illegitimacy of their authority simply by their dress and not just on their treasonous acts, serving the corporation and not the people, once you swear an oath to a master you cannot serve another, and in swearing oaths to The Constitution of the United States they have therefore declared their support of a foreign master, a corporation, and not the people, who's government services are secured through the Constitution for the united States.
Nope. Never said that. If that is how you interpreted it then I don't speak your language. ;)
Also that is pretty stupid. Not sorry.
Culture is a collection of behaviors and ideas. It can be practiced by any color. Black people have lots of different cultures. In fact they had very different cultures that are still around BEFORE this modern thug worship one arose.
Nice try though.
Nope I didn't. It isn't black culture. It is a culture. It started in black communities but MANY people not black also follow it. Culture is not something a race owns unless it involves racism.
I said that culture began in black cultures but I also very clearly say it IN THE ARTICLE ITSELF it is no longer just a culture of black people. This is clearly stated in the article. You are seeing what you want to see and selectively ignoring other factors.
Kind of like a fake news move there... let's edit here, take this, he said it started in a black community, let's just stop right there and attack. Read the damn thing, pause, think, then reply.
I see cops as a symptom. You are using a generalization fallacy there. I never said anywhere that cops were justified in their actions. I am trying to think about what could lead to it. Not all cops have that problem. There are also places in the country where these things don't happen the same.
Yet again, read the damn article, think instead of trying to fixate on defending the status quo idea.
Contribute to the thought process rather than attacking. Add something that adds to the hypothesis either by disproving it, or by adding other factors to measure.
Instead of simply grabbing onto little miscellaneous pieces of the article and trying to attack.
