The race riot and flash mob incidents you mention have nothing at all to do with the music that the offenders listened to.
Instead, as a rational people we understand that the events you mention took place because the people who took part in flash mobs and “race riots” are bad people.
And the same is true for other violent events that some blamed on artists.
For example, Charles Manson listened to the White Album and then ordered some kids to go to Sharnon Tate’s house, kill her and cut her unborn baby from her womb.
Only an ignorant fool would blame the Manson Killings on the Beatles.
In 1981 sometime after watching the movie Taxi Driver John Hinckley attempted and damn near did assassinate President Reagan. Hinckley stated that his reason for wanting to kill Reagan was due to his watching Jody Foster in Taxi Driver.
Only an ignorant fool would blame Jody Foster and Martin Scorsese for Hinkely’s assassination attempt on Reagan.
A couple kids in Colorado listened to Marilyn Manson and then murdered a dozen kids at their high school.
Only an ignorant fool would blame Marilyn Manson for the Columbine Massacre.
And only an ignorant fool would blame the murder of John Lennon on J. D. Salinger.
And yes, there have been people who listened to rap or hit hop and then committed a violent crime.
And only an ignorant fool would blame those violent crimes on the artists who the offenders of those crimes happened to listen to.
