35. You say pretty concretely that the ghetto traps young people. Really? All young people?

You didn't answer my question. No doubt growing up in a ghetto is mainly horrible. What I am objecting to in these videos such as the one up-thread is that the rappers spread the message that there is no way out and that violence is o.k. Then, rappers such as the one killed in Vegas, who have obviously done pretty well, turn around and instead of offering messages of hope they offer messages of hype and the glorification of a shit attitude which perpetuates more shit attitude. It's like child abuse in that it is an endless cycle until one of the abused finally takes a stand and decides that life has choices (even children in some of the most dire situations have ended up doing o.k. later in life and they stop perpetuating abuse on their young).
