Talk about cultural appropriation.... <br /><br />Children are being brought up in a world that is increasingly violent in my country. I see it with my own eyes. They play violent video games and they listen to violent music that glorifies the violent and dark. Parents don't see the problem because, sadly, they are the first generation to have been exposed to it. Once desensitized, they don't see it as a problem. And so the second generation learns.Debbyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09531125606268748793noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5227064496185547313.post-87822689166290809062022-07-04T15:39:58.657+01:002022-07-04T15:39:58.657+01:00But what it does say isn't very pleasant.

But the lyrics are dreadful. Such rap has been around for a long time and I do not like it and I don't think many people, young or old, would think it was anything else but rubbish. I am particularly turned off rap music when men refer to their 'bitch' and it is oh so common.

In the beginning of the clip I wanted to reach in and tell those boys to pull their pants up, no one needs to see your underwear. That's a really stupid fashion choice.
