Whitlock

I don't think he combines both of our thoughts. I will read this article after writing this because I hope he proves me wrong. I can't stand Whitlock. He is fake. He writes for sensation. He is a black man that says what white people want to hear. Wiley blasted Whitlock. He didn't like him. Whitlock takes the easy way out. He blames everything on hip hop. I'm getting tired of the act. White broadcasters have been talking about Whitlock's article the last few days.
He has an intent vs impact issue too. Let me read and we'll see if I'm wrong. He says that hip hop culture causes this. What he doesn't usually say is how the black family structure is destroyed. What he doesn't say is that crack desroyed that structure in the 90's. What he doesn't say is that those two thirds of young black males that were dead, in jail, or uneducated children have grown up. Maybe he gave a very conservative suggestion to address what I'm talking about, but he is conservative on purpose. That is why Fox hired him. Here's the one thing that upsets me about him. The radio stations, records companies, and the distributors are owned by white people. They control they amount of that filth that hits the steets. They are the one's that removed the consciousness of rap that existed in the 90's. Black people perform based on the directions of their musical leadership. Black people don't control radio content, they supply it based upon what the rich corporations tell them to do. Hip Hop wouldn't not have grown if it wasn't for Rick Rubin, not Russell Simmons.
