[News] Ban gangsta rap as offensive to many people ?

[Live by the sea]

Whilst we appear to be in the full media glare of banning or taking down statues that are offensive to many members of the black community , is it fair and reasonable to also take the opportunity to consider banning some gangsta rap music & some grime ‘ sounds’ that are also offensive to many other people because of the way some ( not all ) depict violence and are degrading to women and sometimes other minorities like the gay community etc ?

 

[Hampden Park]

Yes, innit, blood.

 

[Eeyore]

Well, extracting the lack of surprise at the original poster, and the underlining motivation, I would suggest that banning anything that incites violence and prejudice is a good thing.

I need educating though, my understanding was that much of this is not being given air on radio stations ?

 

[Live by the sea]

There is no underlying motivation , I simply put it out there , that if we are going to be doing in effect a big clean up then why don’t we look at other issues that effect lots of people and are upsetting . For instance I personally don’t think anyone should use the N word to describe a black person even if you happen to be black yourself . It’s still offensive surely .

You seem pretty offensive, can we ban you?

I mean, if we're going to try and lob Snoop Dogg into Bristol Harbour then I'm down with that. If nothing else for his Just Eat adverts.

Tedious race-obessed twerp starts another tedious race-obsessed thread.

Exercising his white privilage again. Who knew?

I’m not white . But I agree I’ve been quite fortunate in life but def not born privileged.

I’m not race obsessed either but this subject seems to dominate the news recently .

The worrying thing to me is that I think you might actually be serious given the lack of emojis !

 

[Guinness Boy]

Oh do shut up Not Nick

Why am I offensive ? Oh is it because I’m not simply following the herd or what you read in the Guardian ?

 

[Mo Gosfield]

Explain why he is being offensive, when he is just asking a question.

There's a lot of race-obsession going around at the moment, and you seem to be in the thick of it.

On topic, I just choose not to listen to it, in the main because it is absolute shit.

 

[Yes Chef]

Nobody is making you listen to what you term 'gangsta rap' though. If you don't like it, then turn it off.

But of course you know that.

1) ' Obessed '......?
2) ' Privilage '.......?

Ok I will keep quiet and we can all just meekly follow the narrative like sheep with no ideas of our own .

Doesn't make him unaware of it, though. I know falling off a cliff hurts, so I avoid it.

Of course I know that , but no one has too look at a statue either do they and I unless you bother to research a statue , you would have no idea what or who the person even was .

 

[GT49er]

No more gangsta rap? Yeh, I'd go for that - 'orrible noise!

 

[Razzoo]

But that can easily be flipped to Little Britain, Gone With the Wind etc. Who is the judge of what to ban?
