its sad really, but MTV is probably the most powerful force in the US. i was about to say planet, but.. i dont think its that far.. yet
and its true, kids need to rebel at their parents at some point in their lives. which is why i brought up inner city schoosl earlier. generally, the issue with kids copying the rap lyrics, living the lifestyle, is NOT an issue in the area where i grew up. i look at my HS and think its complete shit, but its nothing compared to the schools the majority of young, black children go to.
its sad really, a lot of them dont even have dctionaries in each room for christs sake. and where do the parents come in? now first of all, if the child is even lucky enough to hae both parents around, usually these parents are both working full time. it sucks, they arent able to spend time with their kids but they need to be able to pay the bills.
keep in mind im speaking here abou very young children. its one thing for high school students to listen to this stuf, at least i THINK the majority of us are smarter than that.. but we hav elementary school kids listening to this crap. now i hafto say, when I was in elementary school, i had mom and dad watching me and making sure i wasnt watching or listening to anything too violent/sexual/etc. but of course.... im one of the privileged ones.
thats the 1 thing that pisses me off abou o'reilly. he would sit there and bitch and complain abou the little kids copying rappers, WHICH IS TRUE. but he would blame ludicrous for it. i have an elementary school right here, and these kids are FINE!!! same thing i keep stressing, we need to do something abou these fucked up schools we have, i mean both school and after school programs.
