America, I'm play God's advocate 4 a minute, I think getting audio surveillance on her daughter's bully is a good ideal as long as its for just as a prevention and not to post on social media to defame a elementary child. Do I think charges be brought to her, no.....do I think she should been a little more careful about how to deal with a childhood bully...Maybe! Bottom-line is her intensions wasn't wrong.....had it been my daughter being bullied well I teach my kids when they was little the mastery of karate & taekwondo.

Good afternoon my lovely folks of mingle2, sorry for the delay in my presence, I had a busy schedule this week. But I will always make room for my " Hot Tea Topics". Shouts out to my " Vocal Avengers" on here I got a juicy one for you guys today. Okay, lets get right into it. Okay, I was in my world studies class, a little bored what was being expressed so I just my Android and I went to CNN news.com & at first I was going to post about the NFL players kneeling during the pledge of allegiance. By now I know you all tires of that story but I got a story which I know you will voice deeply. I call this one " My Mom Is Big Brother....!" Why I call it that is because a Virginia mother said Wednesday that they dropped all charges against a mother who was accused of illegally recording audio from her daughter's classroom, an action she sais was meant to help her to determined whether the child was bulled. Sarah Sims, 47 of Norfolk ,Virginia had been charged this month for a felony, intercepting wire, electric & oral communications, with a misdemeanor after her daughter's elementary school told police to confiscated a digital audio recorder in the girl's desk. in September. Sims could of been sentenced up to five years in prison had she been convicted. Follow me now, there was enough evidence to support the charges which includes a misdemeanor count of contributing to the delinquency of a minor, commonwealth attorney's office Spokesperson Amanda Howie said. Then the article went on a reaction by her lawyer of the charges, a little bit into the reason of all this or the back story, and finally she was cleared of all charges at the end. America, what do think of this story. Was she was just being a mother who was concerned about her daughter being bullied? Or was she out of line as an adult to get surveillance of another child to prove a point? I got to say, this one is tuff. But I want to hear from you all, so let's talk about it.

I agree , every generation always dislikes the current or new stuff. coming up I like array of music. my dad hates rap but love soul funk & Motown sounds. My mom likes gospel and some r& b.....

Searchin4MyRedWine,

So I take it you don't mind private investors make money to housed inmates for profit? no judgment here, if you for it , you for it. I want all thoughts of folks to be able to express there views okay, well I certainly can say that is a very lucrative investment. I got to say the most lucrative investments we see make high interest is prison industries & the water industries//......ask T. boone thickets.

YellowRose10,

I like your firm stand on good parenting, but I have to add in the u.s. I grew up in Philly's Spanish ghetto and I seen a lot good families with hard working parents and I seen bad ones too. when kids having kids and making families young some are inexperience as a parent. when you have the new era parents that really don't care to listen to what they kid listens too then you have the beginning misguided kids. then crime then prison.....the secret plan.

Ms. Harmony is right on the money, certain words is tied to a dark history. the kicker is I hear gay guys & girls call each other the B-words than any straight guy would. Blacks shouldn't use the N word to embrace friends. The N word was a word racist southerners use to oppress a culture. The word " Cracker" was a word blacks use to retaliate against his oppressors. The B- word was created to call whores or hookers, not meant to 2 girls embracing themselves.

Argo63,

I wouldn't call a white man a cracker.....that's not nice! it's certain words are more or less hurtful to many. The n-word, I never use. The Word Cracker, I never use. Now I do have to get better with the B-word.!

YellowRose,


To answer your question where's the parents? can I honestly say, the parents of the youth today, is the parents are younger. The parents partying with there teens & young. The parents are getting high, doing drugs, or bottom-line not interested in there children's music. Now I'm not talking you & my era parents, but the parents today. That's wonderful you monitor your children's entertainment. but the world is different now, the plan again is to brainwash your children to listen to negative rap and the mimic what the see & hear and react. then pow! prison. then the private investors get bank for per inmate.

MysticView21,


I can agree , I think you right in one time in life it was a honest investment, but what happens if you continue to feed the monster, it got bigger & bigger! It's a hot commodity off of crime and a secret plan to target young men & women in rap today for the hopes to get your child to cause to be go to prisons to make a profit.

CireTom,

Welcome Ciretom you said something very important, rap is a huge investments. in a lot of ways we can say conspiracy theories, powerful fraternities puppeting stars, & more. but one thing we can say prisons are a hot commodity. Remember a while back I did a forum topic about exposing the water industry? on a man from Texas name T.Boone Pickets a very wealthy billionaire that invested in pipelining water lakes & rivers Lake Meade to be exact.....well the prison industry found a way to make private & state to make money all they have to do is give reason to send someone to prison and we can lump a cell 4, 5 , maybe even 6 to a cell. now for every man in a cell the investors and the state get a thousand dollars per head multiply by how many you inmate in and whallllaaahhh you rich!

Ms Harmony,

Welcome as well back, yeah it is music is about story telling, and freedom of artistic expression. In our society now a lot parents aren't monitoring they kids music like our generation. Some may asked why the radio stations keep playing the same music over & over? I tell them its to brainwash our kids and condition them to accept negativity as a norm. Its funny the craziest songs has the most catchiest hooks & the funkiest beats but its garbage. Also my opinion rap beefs is destroying the culture. you mean to tell me 2 rappers from the same hood, making the same amount of money can't co exist together? can you image ZZ Top had a rock beef with Megadeath ? sounds bizarre right?

EyeAmYourHost39,

America, think about it.....

we as people should really look into what corporate America invest in.

Again this not about turning people off to rap, but know its a certain agenda being pushed upon my babies ears.

Sexuality, homosexuality, "molly" usages, racism, glorifying guns, calling women out there wrong names, rappers name after drug leaders, the usage of the n-word, other atrocities in music. But can we blame just rap? what about POP artist like Miley Cyrus twerkin' on Tv, parents thought that was cute. What about Black Rock group " Body Count" with a song " Cop Killer"? What about even back in the 70's with disco music......studio 54 & how much drugs & sex was part of the nightlife culture? no matter what era you came up in , the last generation will always dislike the next music. I understand new artist have to make money, get famous, support themselves & there families. But the real money makers aren't the artist, the dee jays, or the break dancers, hell not even they management teams. its the puppet masters behind the cameras that use artist to get rich. With that bank on crime to make private investors rich.

Alleoops,

Welcome my friend, well....what prisons intentions to me are scams....lol I tell you this, the most bizarre thing I witness was I was eating lunch in a local food court in a mall here in Philly 3 suburban white youths , young men was talking about who they like in rap but then they was using the N-word towards each other......in my my I was livid, but then I had to remember that's the language used to embrace each other in black music.

Argo63,

well its funny, you mentioned about baggy clothes I did in my early 20's, but it was in a time where that was not just hip hop fashion but young fashion. I admit I now like my pants kind of hugging my legs but not excessively tight...lol. Now I'm a 41 year old hipster, and I see fashion a lot more mature. I like to dress sexy, turtle neck sweaters with a nice leather jacket. or a nice pair of rip jeans with a nice motorcycle jacket and timberland boots, since here on the east coast now its cold.

Let me ask, is prisons a smart investment? Being a private investor in prisons make you a evil person? Can I be a good guy and invest in somebody's downfall & misery? Can I invest in the youth in rap music to guarantee that my prions will be filled by what they hear? America, is there a rational explanation to investing in private prisons?

EyeAmYourHost39,

Before I voice my view in all of this, I want to express Real hip hop music is not the same as Mainstream rap music. See I grew up with the culture & lifestyle. Hip Hop was about poor black & latino kids in the Bronx, New York City, taking a rhyme and relatively rhyme over a simple break beat. That was the birth of Rap. The content was back then about partying, representing your neighborhood, claiming your rap dominance as the best. Now lets fast forward, for years naysayers thought rap would die like Disco....as you can see it did die but on a smaller scale. Once rap made it on radio & TV commercials, movies, social media sites, word of mouth, through corporate America, & made a lot of people who don't care for the music & lifestyle rich, then the secret plan was being developed. I never listen to mainstream rap, I'm a father , and I grew up with the authenticity of the music. I didn't grow up today under the Trap Rap Era. Now that I know what I know, I won't say stopping listening to your favorite rap artist but research about the prison industry and the private investors participation. The Reason in my mind rap got so big well....because like or or hate it it made inspiring rap artist rich over night without paying dues. and when you are willing to push out garbage to the youth well....those who follow will buy your stuff without a thought.

Good Afternoon, I'm sorry I took a very needed vacation spending time with my kids & my lady, but I brought a fresh topic to the forefront. Shouts out to all my Mingle 2 family... This topic well be very interesting,...America, when you hear about Rap Music & Rap Recording Labels like Def Jam, Loud Records, Wild Pitch, just to name a few, what do you know about it? Now think about it?...some say its a artistic expression thru music & lifestyle. Others my say " Its negative personas that massages narcissistic egos & image. Well what if I tell you that the reason why rap labels pushes negative music is all by true design. You say " EyeAm what you mean?" well what if I was tell you its politics behind the secret plan. I pulled up an article on " Raprehab.com" September 19th explaining that back in 2012, a controversial anonymous letter entitled " The Secret Meeting That Changed Rap Music & Destroyed a Generation". This is not about just rap but what brought the nonsense to the game. The article goes to say a letter which claims that an unnamed top music industry executives promoted gangsta rap to fill private prisons, was published by hundreds of blogs & websites & was reposted on countless forums. The private prisons industrial complex is very real & the people & entities behind it will go to surprising lengths to substain it. Okay follow me now......lets continue, I'm give you a real example of companies we didn't know invested in private prisons.

General Electric
Universal Entertainment
Interscope Records
Def Jam Records
The Nation's Largest Weapon Manufacturer
And many more1

Now let me tie it all in to what gangsta rap has to do with politics? okay , well, the ideal that music industry has manipulated rap music to glorify misogyny, violence, drugs, & materialism is a common belief held in hip hop circles. So in a nut shell they bank on the fact the more your child listen to gangsta rap the more chance your child want to emulate what she or he hears and may do a bone head act and go to prison. Like I said earlier in this topic, " Its by design......". So America, how do you feel about what you 've read? even if you don't listen to the music, I still want your thoughts, maybe you have someone in your circle that listens to the Trap Rap, or the Mumble Rap. Let's talk about this secret plan, maybe we can learn from each other on this, so voice!

Ciretom,


Wow, well I see you answers my quotes. its a lot of read but I try to commit to your response. You right race will always be a factor, again a factor in America. White America don't like to bring race in the equation but its like the name god, them more you try to remove god out of everything the more it shows god place in this country is always a factor. Race is the same. When it comes to mainstream entertainment, movie writers & producers want to create hits. what do black people do best on tv & radio ? well that's entertain. so when you allow mainstream writers to write a script, they tend to throw buffoonery in the acts to create laughs and a mass appeal for a mega hit. Sometimes racial stereo types are used in comedy because those who are the butt of them like to see the perceptions manifest on screen. Let me ask you this, I don't know if you follow director Spike Lee? He has a film called " Bamboozled. Bamboozled addressed black movie menstruals along with black face slap comedies. In the movie did the same as the white college student. instead of white people in black faces in the movie the movie writer in the movie decided to use black people in black faces. When the movie hit the box offices they had a campaigned to boycott that movie.

Ms Harmony,


don't feel bad I'm up there too.......Remember how Melvin Van Peebles movie Badass was controversial because in the movie the little kids supposed to be Mario as a child and his dad in the movie took him to see " Badaass" and it had a few pornographic secnes and his wife was arguing not to take young Mario to see that movie?

Ms Harmony,


I think the line is to be funny, but don't use cultural stereotypes to make a chuckle. Example, don't do a skit on Blacks eating fried chicken. Don't do commercial on malt liquor with half naked girls with the bottles between there legs. Don't do taco bell commercials using Latin voiceovers with small dogs. I mean can you image turning the tables. a black man in full army fatigues, with a fishing pole and his blood hound advertising illegal moonshine, talking country making fun of woodsmen?.....I think the line should not bring stereotypes in it. one thing I like when back in the day bill cosby did his stand up, he never mention racial stereo types . He always focused on his family, and life scenarios. and he was funny as hell.
