Seriously, I hadn’t heard that the hiphop culture was pervasive in non-American countries.
I’ve met some Africans that vehemently keep their kids away from American Black culture.
“I’ve met some Africans that vehemently keep their kids away from American Black culture.”
There is a real divide there.
It’s not hip-hop, per se; it’s an attitude of selfishness above all else. Worship of force, violence and theft, gang affiliation ahead of morals or ethics. Where people flock to warlords, whether they be a local gang, or a regional military force.
Where predatory behavior is considered strength and a virtue, where ‘honor’ has no meaning at all. Nigeria, Zimbabwe, Haiti, Somalia, South Africa, Sierra Leon, Nambia, Liberia, Jamacia, Ghana - the list goes on and on. Want to see desperation, poverty, misery and oppression? Take your pick. Despite international aide, none of these countries has ever advanced itself; the aide has been stolen by anyone with the means to steal and hold the aide; no consideration is given to help the less fortunate. Never has happened, never will.
When you mix a culture that worships laziness and selfishness and mix it with a Gov’t program that promotes dependance without self-reliance; you will have a natural melding of causes.
But, it’s not the Welfare state that is the root cause; it’s a Black cultural issue.
