well lets define what you consider to constitute a "cultural influence" and be specificJMak wrote:I must have missed it...what cultural influence has hip hop contributed?
heres one definition:
An integrated pattern of human knowledge, belief, and behavior that depends upon the capacity for symbolic thought and social learning
The set of shared attitudes, values, goals, and practices that characterizes an institution, organization or group
now, explain to me how the hip hop culture doesn't meet this criteria
why is it important to elevate the status of a traitor like Jefferson Davis to being the equal of Abraham Lincoln.....lets face it, the only thing the Texans were arguing for is their right to own blacks as slaves...nothing more, nothing less...heres the text of their acceptance of the Confederation (which verifies that)And why is it important to teach it to our children?
so much for the "all men are created equal" propositition.....and apparently, they thought it was gods will for white people to own blacks ( imust have missed that chapter in their holy book, but I'm almost positiive it must be in there somewhere).....seriously, if I were Texan, that would embarass the shit out of me.....[Texas] was received into the Confederacy with her own constitution, under the guarantee of the federal Constitution and the compact of annexation, that she should enjoy these blessings. She was received as a commonwealth holding, maintaining and protecting the institution known as negro slavery -- the servitude of the African to the white race within her limits -- a relation that had existed from the first settlement of her wilderness by the white race, and which her people intended should exist in all future time.
In all the non-slave-holding states, in violation of that good faith and comity which should exist between entirely distinct nations, the people have formed themselves into a great sectional party, now strong enough in numbers to control the affairs of each of those states, based upon an unnatural feeling of hostility to these Southern states and their beneficent and patriarchal system of African slavery, proclaiming the debasing doctrine of equality of all men, irrespective of race or color -- a doctrine at war with nature, in opposition to the experience of mankind and in violation of the plainest revelations of divine law.
so I'm assuming you consider teaching the influence of Latin Americans in this country to constitutes "bullshit"?Teachers have finite time to teach the infinite amt of bullshit you idiots want them to.
but again, tell me what you consider to be "bullshit" and we'll have something to talk about
