Some Rappers Are Really Slaves
by Jolivette Anderson 'the poet warrior'

I watched 60 minutes last week and was appalled at the interview done with the rapper Camron and the whole notion of 'to snitch or to not snitch' that be the question and the answer to many of our problems in the black community. What use to be a code of ethics for criminals and thugs decades ago is not the code of ethics for this generation of young people and it makes no sense to me. Murdering people in broad daylight is possibly not punishable by law because the people who saw the murder will not say anything to the police. Okay, if you want to handle some community issues without the police but come one, black people, let's draw the line at murder. Don't let murders stay out on the street in our communities because you and yours could be next. While we are working to change America from the inside out, let's use the system as best we can ESPECIALLY, when it comes to protecting ourselves and others from people who kill each other. Anything less is UNCIVILIZED!

Oh, before I forget, the title of this blog simply means that Camron and others refuse to fight the record companies on lyrics. They want to keep on singing and shufflin bout killing etc. simply because it sells. Yes, it sells and it serves the master's plan of continuously creating despair.

more later...
