Calling black women first?

I cannot imagine what kind of verbal crap goes on before a decent answer is given.

My black students thought I was picking on them when I called on them to answer a question. These same people wanted videos of my teaching so they didn’t have to attend class. They did not understand why they were required to have a pathology course to be a nurse. “Nurses don’t need pathology!”. And that goes right along with the nurses I talk with today who don’t know the difference between a virus and a bacteria.

Hopefully, if there is a god, I will never teach again.

Interesting, back in the early 2,000’s, I gave a guest lecture at an all women Masters class in education and the students were all elementary and middle school teachers.

Just prior to my lecture the instructor addressed the class and asked how they adjust their teaching methods to account for different types of students.

A feminist/lezbo-type said on her first class of the year, she begins her class by saying to the boys that they can sit in the back as this class is for the girls.

I was very angry at this piece of slime. And it wasn’t just me. Turns out most of the other teachers in the Master’s class came unglued because most had children and boy children at that, and this feminist/lezbo said she was discriminating against THEIR boys. . .this wasn’t tolerated and they verbally attacked the feminist/lezbo for her bigotry and illegal discrimination.

Surprised me!

It was something to behold, but sadly I don’t think this defense of boys (even their own off-spring) would happen today.

Rochelle Gutiérrez

Dr. Gutierrez' scholarship focuses on equity issues in mathematics education, paying particular attention to how race, class, and language affect teaching and learning. Through in-depth analyses of effective teaching/learning communities and longitudinal studies of developing and practicing teachers, her work challenges deficit views of students who are Latin@/x, Black, and/or American Indian and suggests that mathematics teachers need to be prepared with much more than just content knowledge, pedagogical knowledge, or knowledge of diverse students if they are going to be successful. Her current research projects focus upon: developing in pre-service teachers the knowledge and disposition to teach powerful mathematics to urban students; the roles of uncertainty, tensions, and "Nepantla" in teaching; and the political knowledge (and forms of creative insubordination) that mathematics teachers need to effectively teach in an era of high-stakes education.

The genre is filled with talented musicians like these. Conservatives may not agree with their politics, and may be repulsed by the crime or drug use that some rappers thoughtlessly champion. But to say, as many conservatives do, that hip-hop is culturally corrosive is to demonstrate a lack of familiarity with the music itself.

This remains an unfortunate blind spot for a political movement with a checkered record on race. Reform-minded conservatives have convincingly argued that the path up from white-identity politics runs toward a civic nationalism that is pan-ethnic, one that celebrates the shared cultural and artistic achievements of all Americans. If they’re right, then the conservative mind ought to rethink hip-hop, a sometimes-great and always uniquely American art form.

The hip hop “culture” has contributed mightily to the self destruction of the black community. In the beginning, rappers like Ice T, NWA and their ilk were providing social commentary on what was happening in their neighborhoods. As they became more famous and consequently more wealthy, inner city kids became more envious of the lifestyle and it’s message of easy money through drug dealing and the glorification of the gang lifestyle. Kids figured if they couldn’t rap and “get paid” they’d bang and be lauded and sung about. You began to see the spread through the music of the gang culture to white suburbia and kids in Nebraska, began wearing doo rags and importing the lifestyle to places like Omaha, which is 73.1% White according the latest census data, but has over 30 known gangs operating within the city limits including, the Crips, Bloods, Latin Kings, MS13 and Gangster Disciples. If anything, it’s helped to destroy thousands of lives over the years, hardly something to be lauded.

He’s somewhat correct, though I don’t think he makes the case very well. If you want to say that hip-hop as a whole has had a deleterious effect on the minds of black youth, I’d say that you are correct. Although there are a few positive messages mixed in here and there, as a whole, the impact is negative.

But I do think it’s worth noting that there are some conservative messages that have generally been found within the hip-hop ethos. First, and foremost, in my view, there has always been a strong pro-business streak within hip-hop. Almost alone among musical styles, hip-hop artists have always promoted the idea of fusing artistic talent and business acumen in order to build independent institutions where the artists themselves get paid, not parasites around them.

And it hasn’t just been talk, sure there are other artists that just sell massive numbers of records and make fortunes, but there is an ever-growing list of hip-hop artist who have made more of their money via associated business ventures, such as Andre Young (net worth $820 million), Sean Combs (net worth $820 million) or Shawn Carter (net worth, with his wife $1.16 billion).

I think the article kinds of gets at the second part, but if you listen to the lyrics from the better artists, the perspective is not one of perpetual victimhood, but more a cry for the community in general as well as the individuals within it to change itself for the better. Hip-hop artists usually hit the scene one very small step removed from the realities that are happening in these communities, not the fable tale that the left likes to tell about it. They know the solution is not government programs but change from within.

Here’s a question — is it not even remotely possible for someone to invent/innovate a “conservative values” hip hop genre? ( one with no curse words or foul language in it ).

Exactly. Pop “music” isn’t music at all. Most of it is a temper tantrum set to a rock beat.
The screaming, screeching, moaning, self-pitying wails that pass for “singing” these days reminds me of the night I shared a labor room with an 18 year old first time mother giving birth to diagnosed twins. That anyone could be paid, or applauded, for making such noises is astonishing. That anyone should be willing to pay to listen to it is even more astonishing.
I quit listening to it in the late sixties.

Believe it or not, rap and hip hop—like every other musical genre—have both bad and good.

I understand people not personally liking a certain style of music—and that's fine—but to flippantly dismiss an entire category out of hand strikes me as total musical snobbery, and is something I learned to assiduously avoid long ago.

While much of hip-hop is garbage—an opinion I hold regarding almost every category of music—there is, to be fair, some very powerful passion, emotion, and, yes, political thought that comes out of hip-hop. Having said that, it's also true that it's replete with the most vile, base, misogynistic lyrical content you will ever encounter.

In my personal experience, however, there are "diamonds in the rough" to be found within all musical styles. For example, I used to despise opera until I saw the movie "Amadeus", which exposed me to some of Mozart's exquisite work in that realm.

So when I hear a line like "f-ck Jesse Jackson cause it ain't about race now" it gets my attention, and I realize that there can be serious and potent content in some hip hop music...

To be considered "music"...that would require musicians....and instruments. These self-styled "musicians"...are at the very most DJs, with drum machines, samplers, crack and....hoes.

To your point - I’m inclined to agree with H. L. Mencken who was no mean music critic:

quote:

“The simple truth is that the accentuation of mere rhythm is a proof, not of progress in music, but of a reversion to barbarism. Rhythm is the earliest, the underlying element. The African savage beating his tom tom, is content to go no further; the American composer of fox trots is with him. But music had scarcely any existence as an art-form until melody came to rhythm’s aid, and its fruits were little save dullness until harmony began to support melody. To argue that mere rhythm, unsupported by anything save tone-color, may now take their place is to argue something so absurd that the mere statement is a sufficient answer to it.”

Hip hop and rap are not music. (The vocals are accompanied by a machine that sounds like a garbage can lid being struck by a baseball bat.) Most of both are infantile rhyming that even a first grader could do. The sine qua non of each is misogyny and gratitous violence (with some exceptions to be sure), the more vicious the better, thereby increasing one’s street cred. Do a google search about the death of hip hoppers and rappers. I don’t know of any other “art” form whose practitioners are so acciduously dedicated to killing each other. Incidentally, when someone refers to themselves as an “artist” it is axiomatic they are not an artist (witness Jay-Z, White House guest and “composer” of that imperishable contribution to Western Civilization - “Is That Yo Bitch”?).

So no, I’ll have none of it. It’s a throw back to barbarism.

What about the old rap of the first generation that wasn't about violence or politics at all but just about having fun? You know, like Jam on It and Rapper's Delight? Why does it always have to be focused on dysfunction and politics? And as for the latter, the clean, radio version of My Mind's Playing Tricks on Me still beats everything else.

Of course, even the "fun" rap contained expletives. This is a huge problem.

And since Blacks are among the very oldest and most American ethnic groups in the country, why does understanding them always have to assume "pan-ethnicism?" These are not recent immigrants fresh off the boat, however disgusting and appalling their politics.

Walling off the southern border won’t work. Instead, take all of the drugs that are confiscated coming across the border, break it all up into small baggies, load it all on a C-130 and drop it over every city in Mexico (or wherever it originated from). Better yet, simply fly it south of the border and dump it all into Mexico’s water supply. And do the same to China, since a lot of the drugs originate from there.

I was of the same opinion before but have begun to see the light. The drugs coming from China have been killing part of the problem. Hopefully, they'll make them even more potent and get rid of the problem altogether.

Just take cover, and keep the kids off the toxic streets, until it's over. Don't let them touch anything outside their homes without thinking twice. When it's all over, we can put on protective suits and clean up the garbage with front end loaders, dump trucks and scrapers (earth movers for digging the pits).

Warnings are going out in small cities, before police walk up to the counters and ask all of the employees where to get some weed. They’re not trying!

Make them start doing their jobs. They haven’t really been trying to bust drug dealers since the ‘60s. Corporations are not doing proper random drug tests. They always send warnings to employees well in advance, so employees can pass more water through their bodies in time to beat the tests!
