Tom Burrell’s Brainwashed Chapter 3: Sluts and Studs describe the sexual stereotypes and labels placed on Black people. The nature of some Black American’s can be traced back in history, to slavery and the deep psychological damage that was done to us as a culture. Burrell explains the idea that sex, in the eyes of Black people, is seen as a means of survival, conquest, and a ticket to getting whatever you from someone.

    We don’t want Chris Brown in Australia. Here’s why. September 18, 2015September 18, 2015 Georgia Bell Chris Brown has just announced a string of tour dates across Australia and New Zealand. We’re questioning whether we – not as women or as Australians, but people in general – want this terrible human being in our backyard. Our immediate point of comparison is Tyler The Creator, whose Australian tour was cancelled, and was banned from entering the U.K , on the grounds that his music promotes and glorifies violence against women.…

    Criminal thoughts are not penalized by criminal law because it is hard to determine whether or not the person is actually angry, aggravated, annoyed or is actually ready to commit a crime. The harm happens when thoughts are translated into action (Carper, McKinsey, 2008, p. 228). Someone might claim they were hurt or harmed by those words, but there is no proof to determine that. However, proof can be displayed if the individual actually commits the crime. The Government would just gain more power to invade our individual privacy, if they charged people over criminal thoughts.…

Although most people agree that modern day hip-hop and rap music have negative social effects, upon analysis, these views appear to be defective and based on bias perceptions— reinforcing racial oppression, racial stereotypes, and inequality.…
