yes the mass media does push the violent rap music. there was even a study that showed that the more violent the songs became the more the "white" listeners bought the music.

although some types of rap music seem to push the limit, we have to remember that in this day and age the majority of people that listen to rap music are "white"

Why arent their communities faced with the same problems?

Maybe because they are not faced with the same issues and situations in their own community & see it as a kind of fairy tale story.

As I said in an earlier post I think the bigger problem is that parents are not handling their responsibility and are relying on BET, other programs on tv, & other people to raise their kids.

Then we can find a reason for parents not handling their repsonsibilities and a cause for that and a cause for that..etc.
So it's hard and I guess we have to focus on that one issue that would do the most good

good topic
