Nah there’s always a choice.
I’m from Baltimore, probably one of the most dangerous cities to have been growing up in and no one ever forced anyone to do s*** unless they wanted to be involved.
Niggas don’t really wanna speak on it and just blame the environment but there’s absolutely a choice. Idk if this the right place to discuss it.
ok this "pick yourself by your own bootstraps."
You’re wrong
Gang banging is being in a gang, sometimes if you’re from a neighborhood the opposite gang is gonna treat you like you’re from that gang whether you’re in it or not and talking s*** is gang banging, hand signs is gang banging, fist fighting is gang banging not just killing people.
For example Tooka the main person who gets dissed a lot in drill, got killed because of the hand sign he threw up not because he killed someone or something and he was only 15. There are a lot of people who are in gangs who have never killed anyone, I mean of course killing is apart of gang banging but you do realize there are people who are members of gangs who are literally anti violence and peace advocates in their communities right?
Understood
How would you then differentiate between peaceful gang members and gang members actively engaged in harmful activities
"literally" is the 3rd word im not reading that s***
Op is on his white lives matter s*** crine
Hate all lives matter mfs wit a passion but keep reaching piece of s***.
Yes because black people speaking on a white genre (which they don’t really do btw) is the same as white people speaking on a black genre!!!
Music is global. Everybody has the right to speak on any of it especially when they have a passion for it. Keep up the separatist bullshit tho you f***ing scumbag.
You rarely see us talking about metal and what the state of metal should be and s*** though yet yall always got some s*** to say about our s***
Man music in general is black. Reducing it to just hip-hop is wrong. They started Rock, Jazz, Funk, Metal etc.
Not saying music isn’t a universal thing, to me it is. I will always love music and no one will ever take that away from me. But some people love to not acknowledge the truth. Black people really are the innovators bro.
As a 12 year old kid you’re from a neighborhood where you can’t leave and the opposite gang is gonna treat you like a gang member no matter what you do and the only way to have any sorta protection from getting beat up or shot at is joining the neighborhood gang what do you think most kids are gonna do? A lot of the time they’re gonna join the gang sure they have a choice but not much of a choice and even if they choose not to join the gang they can still get killed because of the gang it happens all the time, death by association and they have no control over that
Of course so they do have a choice it’s just from their perspective the rational choice IS joining the gang for the sake of pure survival

i was waiting for someone to say this
@leif_erikson chime in brother
OP got me crine
probably goes on twitter to s***post how the evil libs are cancelling aunt jemima syrup or something just because they changed their branding from something that has poorly aged in retrospect
@leif_erikson chime in brother
Just picking up some hey y'alls. I'll check in later
Idk maybe i just dont see it that way
I grew up around both gangbanging and domestic abuse
I dont agree with gang violence but i can see where it comes from and what causes it.
But do you think domestic abusers just say f*** it one day and start doing it?
You don’t think there might be underlying mental health causes?
This thread hits different when you realize op a White boy who raps and says nigga
Jesus Christ.
Wait, why is op ending each of his replies with cursing that person out
He got exposed for being white and saying nigga and is having a breakdown over it
Understood

That’s not really your place to do, I mean you can probably tell but you never really know what crimes people are doing unless they get caught doing it
Of course being a violent gang member isn’t good but even then there are some scenarios that make sense
Like if you see someone you know is gonna kill you so you kill them, yes its bad to kill but that’s not black and white wrong
Or even more conflicting than that, someone might not be a direct threat to you but they killed your best friend, and you kill them yes its wrong but you see how that can get conflicting?
Abuse I see a lot of reasons it can happen but at the end of the day its all wrong, theres more nuisance to gang violence but of course its still wrong and shouldnt be glamorized
