As I sat at a computer in the leisure room of my unit, I noticed two young guys wearing walkmens with the music playing,blazing from the headphones. One of the guys began to recite the words of the rap song playing,"I need a westside chick, or an eastside chick....." I just looked at them both,in amazement, wondering why this kind of music has such control on our youth. I tapped one of the guys on the shoulder,"excuse me, didn't I see you in the education dept. yesterday?"Aren't you in school over there?"I asked
He responds,"Yeah, i am in GED classes."
I nod.It figures, I say to myself. I got up and walked out heading toward the tv area when I noticed a video on BET. I stopped, glared at it for a moment and then put my headphones on to hear the music.Lil Jeezy raps"Lost My Mind", he talks about sexing two young girls, having deranged thoughts, smoking 1000 swisher sweet blunts and about his car in the parking lot being the hottest. I looked around and noticed all the youth singin,smiling and bobbing their heads in a trance from the music.If only education had this appealing sound.
The guys sat there in front of the Bet tv watching every video that came on for an hour straight practically lipsynching every song. Sadly, most of those watching Bet, don't have a GED or a highschool diploma.Further, they can't even tell you when was the last time they sat down and wrote their parents, children or siblings.Two years ago, it was reported that 70% of the federal prison population didn't have a GED or a highschool diploma.Education is not a priority to our youth, they are motivated by fantasies derived from television videos. New music videos come out every other day, attracting new young viewers and those same young viewers are the ones w/out a GED or an education. This leads to our overall graduation rate and self respect declining while the crime rate is rising.
Is it BET videos or Rap music that's causing this?

Is that even a serious question? Abso-freaking-lutely! Bet is just another brainwashing tool used by the media to control the youth and control black people, and put them under their spell. Instead of using GOOD rolde models, and people that care actually about our soicety, they use the most digusting, easily manipulated fools, and use them as puppers to promote their sick, satanic agendas. It's no wonder why a lot of youth that spend countless hours watching Bet, are the same ones that have their pants hanging low, disrespect women, disrespect their parents, and are extremely ignorant. Why? Because they are freaking brainwashed! They think money equals happiness, and having several girls on their cock makes them 'cool'. And it's not just the young boys. The girls are just as naive and ignorant. Flaunting their bodies for men to see, degading themselves, and acting provocatively in order to feel valued. It's just disgusting I tell you! I swear on my blood, if I ever have children that dare imitate these fools, I will slap them until they remember to use that 12 ounce of brain they were born with. Enough is enough! Wake up people, our world is evil!
