The gangsta bad-arse mentality force-fed to our kids these days, leads up to these confrontations where groups swarm to inflict violence on others for almost no reason at all.

The funny thing about this, is that the very same industry insiders who promote peace above all else when it comes to world-class tyrants, find the gangsta rap folks to be the darlings of the industry. Hardly an entertainment event goes by that doesn't place these folks center stage as the cultural icon representatives of the black and hispanic sectors of our population.

For around fifteen years I've wondered why rap and the gangsta mentality was promoted by the entertainment industry, an industry that flatters itself as being the concience of the U.S. whenever our military was forced to take action.

As a whole these folks decried every bonified need for violence our military was involved in, but found the darlings of domestic violence to be simply irresistable.

Why do things like this take place? Because people of feeble mentality mimic what they witness in the entertainment industry. From Jessie Jackson and Al Shaprton to the leading icons of the entertainment industry, what positive role models are out there for blacks or hispanics?

For that matter, what positive role models are out there for any of our youth?

What in the world are you talking about? This article does not state anything that would lend credence to your "rant."
