Lord Jamar On The Violence In Rap And Whether Hip Hop Owes Reparations To The Black Community
Topic starts around around the 10:30 mark.
I like Lord Jamar but this is BS ,all cap, the easy answer is to blame ourselves. What ever negative is happening is a result of white supremacy targeting us. EVERY ONE.
When white supremacy left us alone we flourished such as right after slavery. White folks that without slavery, illiterate, no money, no access to their community and wealth, we'd die off, but the opposite happened.
The various black wall streets were not just affluent but relatively peaceful. They kept the vices in one part of town (the whore house) and self policed.

I agree, when you put it on us it’s basically coon talk. Why the hell is the Black community responsible for these ignorant thug negroes that go around shooting each other?
I would have more respect for the conversation if they asked “DO THE RECORD LABELS OWE US REPARATIONS”.
Because if you go in these record labels talking positive and Black empowerment it will be a white exec that says “nah that don’t sell”.
So the positive artists don’t get the push and then when they have low sales independently it’s used to justify not investing in it.
There was another video that was saying that Chicago made the world more violent. It’s self hate.
Lord Jamar is usually on point, so this is a strange take from him. He is saying this to say what? Something like this would need elaborating.
If I'm correct, he's not #FBA. His allegiance is suspect. I like Lord too, kinda weird to hear him say something like this.

That is the thing. They changed the game. It isn't some redneck dude down the street we need to worry about anymore, it is the institutions of power and the corruptions of Hollywood and the entertainment industry that is against us now in full force. They robbed us of so much. Blacks used to have more successful marriages than whites, rapidly growing businesses, hell we even had our own black wall street and now look where the average black american is.
It is easy to sit here and point the finger but millions of our people were lied to, tricked, and fooled into a "better life". It was all a lie. They need us at the bottom to use and abuse us. This is especially true in politics.
I don't think his lineage has anything to do with his saying this off code ish. He is simply wrong. Overall, he's solid. No one is going to be 100 percent solid. This is a mistake on his part. He's part of that old school hip hop, 5 percenter type, who were really 'conscious'. He's got old school receipts. It's a fairly big eff up. He needs to be checked but he's not a sell out. He defended the minister to Vlad to the point of not appearing on there any more.

I’m not surprised.
Awhile back he did a show (on YouTube) with Rah Digga discussing reparations and delineation. He seemed to not know (or care) a damn thing about our history or the atrocities inflicted on our people. He went on a rant about his immigrant father and how it was hard for him when he got to America. None of that has anything to do with us or our justice claim.
Rah was trying to explain reparations and her personal experiences with diasporans. How they move to our communities and undermine and treat us differently etc. He was triggered and disrespectful. He seems typical New York Pan African mentality and clearly still struggling with our delineation.

Yet somehow nobody is looking at the labels, who owns them, and why they push such low vibrational music, lord jamal was very triggered in the interview with rah diggs!! His true colors came through!
