My point was that rap is the music of black culture and it's filled with messages about street cred and violence. But yeah, I'm sure it's a total coincidence that the number one music for your black males is rap and the number one cause of death for young black males is young black males.
There are about a million different types of rap music. The specific one you're hitting on is gangsta rap, which was pioneered by dudes like NWA. That genre was huge from about the mid 90s until the mid 2000s. It's presently in a bit of a decline. Here's the Billboard Top 100 Hip-Hop/R&B from today. The dudes en vogue right now are of the Usher/Ne-Yo/J.T. variety. I'm sure someone accused jazz of causing tommy gun drive-bys back 90 years ago.

Who is accusing rap of causing violence? Not me.
I'm pointing out that violence in a specific culture, that you blamed on money, is about more than just money.

Singing about the violence in their culture. Where is the "this causes this" statement?
Eddie Murphy used to tell shit jokes because it's the only thing he had life experience with. Those jokes didn't cause anyone to take a shit.

John Kerry: still a prick.
“The war that took place here half a century ago divided each of our countries and stemmed from the most profound failure of diplomatic insight and political vision.”
Yeah, you're right. It was totally a failure on the part of US diplomacy to keep the colonial French the fuck out of there.

Good thing we're helping our pedo allies in the Middle East.

Political Vulture Barry Obama asks media to count people kiled by guns versus terrorism.
First, my favorite part of this story is that nowhere does Obama suggest scaling back anything related to stopping terrorism. Fucking idiot.
Second, 92 people a day are killed in vehicular accidents. Why have we not yet banned cars?
Third, according to that chart (which I'd bet is inflated) 404k people have been killed since 2001 by guns in the U.S. Well guess what? 598k a year die in this country thanks to obesity. Why isn't Ronald McDonald and Colonel Sanders in front of Congress answering for their mass murdering ways?
Fourth, cancer kills 575k a year. What's the government spend there versus fighting terrorism?
Fifth, poverty is linked to far more deaths a year than guns. Where's Obama's outrage there?
Sixth, the city with the most gun deaths in the U.S. is Chicago, Obama's home town and in the state with the strictest gun laws in the country.
In all of human history, no gun has ever killed a single person.
Making guns harder for law abiding citizens to get doesn't stop criminals from getting them. It just makes it harder for the law abiding citizens to defend themselves from a power hungry government.

I guess Obamacare wasn't enough, he wants guns, too. If he gets assassinated in office congress will pass whatever pet legislation he has.

Biden's son was apparently fevered and demented in his final hours.
"He tried to make his father promise to run, arguing that the White House should not revert to the Clintons and that the country would be better off with Biden values," the article said.
According to Politico, the scene was relayed by Biden himself.

Thieves from Congress grill thieves from the pharmaceutical industry about why people are getting gouged and use the opportunity to get some meaningless quotes in for election time.
With the formation of the new task force and several related bills pending in the House, Rep. Peter Welch (D-Vt.) said the message to big pharma is clear: "The rip-off days are over."
Riiiiiiiiiight. Because the living incarnation of moral authority and justice that is Congress is here to stop your nefarious plans.
This is, I guess, right after B. Rock bans certain medical research. I guess we don't want new non-human sources for human organs. I guess we'll just keep harvesting organs from the dead instead.
