Dr. Ben Carson stopped by New York’s R&B radio station WBLS on Easter Sunday morning to share the news that he will announce his 2016 plans at the beginning of May. But while was there, the potential Republican candidate also made some comments about hip hop music that are likely to rub people, both in and out of the African-American community, the wrong way.
“We need to reestablish faith in our communities and the values and principles that got us through slavery, that got us through Jim Crow, and segregation, and all kinds of horrible things that were heaped upon us,” Carson said, according to Business Insider. “Why were we able to get through those? Because of our faith, because of our family, because of our values, and as we allow the hip hop community to destroy those things for us, and as we grasp onto what’s politically correct and not what is correct, we continue to deteriorate.”
The assertion that hip hop music stands in sharp opposition to “family values” received some pushback from the show’s host, who told Carson, “When you said ‘hip-hop,’ my antennae went up very quickly, because I said, ‘Wait a minute that sounds like an old argument that they used to make about rock ‘n’ roll/R&B back in the fifties.’ That’s what they used to say.”
In an attempt to better explain what he meant, Carson replied, “When I talk about the hip hop community, I’m talking about the aspect of modern society that pretty much dismisses anything that has to do with Jesus Christ, that’s what I’m talking about.”

This right here is the best part of the quote; it's where he explains that when he says "hip-hop" he just means anything that's opposed to Jesus. Lol ? old ? you'll never be president and them crackers will never think of you as anything more than a token.

Hip Hop is a voice and reflection of what's going on in the community. Instead of lookin at the results, dig deeper, see what's causing the issues, and solve problems. It's easy to point a finger.

Well, it's not like he lying about the Jesus part as far as some hip hop goes

Hip hop has hurt black folks on a whole, and something is wrong with you if you can't see that.
For example, it has made many middle class kids try to imitate their poorer brethren -- by embracing a self-defeating, if perhaps adaptive in some ways, conception of blackness, one which, for example, deemphasizes academic achievement as a path to success -- thus squandering the opportunities that their parents worked so hard to secure for them. (This is why many middle class blacks actually end up worse off then their parents -- a fact that is currently a subject of investigation by many social scientists.)
Granted, some these negative affects may have been worse in the 1990s and 2000s, but that doesn't make them any less real.
Now wack this, troll, this, etc. if you want. I already told y'all that I am not on this to be most popular. I am here to speak truth.

The ? is your point? You can think that hip hop has hurt us without thinking that it causes racism and discrimination, nevermind any other problem in the world.
You are just confusing the issue. -

I'm not sure if some of you really understand, so let me break it down for you.
It can both be true that what they did to Travyon was ? up AND that hip hop depresses black academic achievement, for example.
It can both be true that what they did to Mike Brown was ? up AND that hip hop depresses black academic achievement.
It can both be true that employment discrimination remains rampant AND that hip hop depresses black academic achievement.
It can both be true that they burned down black Wall Street AND that hip hop depresses black academic achievement.
I hope you see the point. This dude D0wn just confusing things. -
There is no way to prove that hip-hop depresses academic progression more than anything else in modern day American culture you ? idiot.
