    I am having no trouble watching you do the dance of the dodger. It may not be graceful, but entertaining nonetheless.

    So what percentage do you believe I pay?

    So I got tired of the whole "what percentage?" "Answered already" game so I just went through 17 pages and the only answer is "not 50%" I would call that a dodge. He isn't going to answer so let's end this game now, thanks.

    I'm sorry but I also missed your answer. Don't want to dig through all those pages to try and find. Could you answer that one more time for any others that may also have missed. What is the actual percentage you placed that at?

    I am sorry you had to go through that. I knew he wouldn't answer and kept him going. If anything, you deserve reparations! :p

    Decision making absolutely makes people poorer or wealthier.

    So, am I correct to think that slavery, Jim Crow laws, White Supremacy and oppression had nothing to do with why Black people are experiencing most of the problems they do? It's only the music they listen to?

    Well you could recommend the book but it is up to you to acquire the knowledge so you can present your own argument so it can be discussed and arguments can be made for and against.

    Read more. Try to do so objectively. What he said was that music reflects culture and culture reflects music. I absolutely believe that's true. Look at the hippie culture and their music. Grunge, 80's rock, Norteño, etc. If you want to get a quick inside into a culture, look at the music. That's not to say that music causes the culture, but it certainly reflects it as does clothing, car choices, and other popular trends.

    Do you want your daughters to grow up thinking that W.A.P. is what they strive to be like? For me, it was Alex Van Halen. For my daughter, it was Britney Spears, for my son it was Rob Dyrdek. Act, talk, dress.

    Even when Black families were headed by 2 parents they still experienced more poverty than White families. Why? Because of racism and White Supremacy.

    I do have the knowledge. I wouldn't recommend a book that I hadn't read myself.
    But, thank you for your advice. :)

    I don't believe music has that much power.

    Prove the racism and white supremacy forced them into poverty? How many KKK members are inner city minorities running into in Chicago? You’ll have to define what this racism is? Like cops shooting people for just walking down the street? The problem with claiming racism is the core of one’s inadequacies is actually proving that racism is the cause of all your problems. If you get fired because you’re late often or disagreeable or have an attitude, it’s NOT racism. Or you did terrible in school and don’t have skills worthy of 6 digit salary? But it’s an easy excuse.
