I have no words, lol. I will say as a nation we will not be destroyed by another nation. We will crumble at the hands of our own doing. This is only the start of what is going to come. We lack value and morals because we have traded it in for such as this.

I remember the first time hearing both of those albums. In fact Eminem's first album may have been that last rap CD I purchased. I still have my copy of the first Beastie Boys I enjoyed the humor in them. Both artists did something different with the form. By the time Slim Shady came around rap had already ben coopted, so I'm not surprised Em is from Kansas. Langston Hughes is from Kansas and he is perhaps the most recognized figure from the Harlem Renaissance. People create fictional origin stories for a variety of reasons. Sometimes they say they are from some larger city when they were really from a smaller nearby town no one has heard of and it is just easier to say the more recognizable location. Sometimes when people ask where I'm from and I'll just say New York City. If they probe further, I'll say Harlem. If is not unusual for white person to say. "you don't seem like you are from Harlem." But those are people operate on stereotypes (@Pioneer1) and I do not fit many people's (Black or white) stereotype of someone from Harlem.

@daniellegfny have you truly assimilated ALL of the far right propaganda you've ever been exposed to? What does slavery in some other country's or the actions of other Blacks have to do with THIS country's exploitation of Black people and the debt that they owe?

That's a wrap. Yep, that statement tells you everything you need to know LOL!
