Pat Buchanan was on Bill Maher’s show yesterday (or whenever it was taped) speaking about immigration and the emergency that America faces if we don’t do something to shore up our immigration policy.

Now, I usually don’t find myself agreeing with Pat Buchanan but perhaps I was feeling “patriotic” or something yesterday because he was making some good points and had me believing that if we don’t close up the border that aliens will come into our great nation and evaporate all of our resources.

Okay, that’s not true at all and I’m still not sure how I feel about immigration but he did make some compelling arguments against illegal immigration.

And since I’m a direct product of immigration, I tend to pay attention at times.

One of Buchanan’s points was that 1 in 12 of these 12 million illegal immigrants (that’s a lot) are criminals and succumb to a rap culture and a violent culture, hence causing them to commit more crimes.

Woe is me, there we go with the blame game again. And for the first time I wasn’t even mad about it. Rap culture is everything that’s wrong with American society as it encompases all the other wrongs. You need prostitution? Rap game has it. Gunplay? Rap game has it. Oversexxed black males? Rap game has it.

So fuck it, blame rap for everything. Cool.

As long as from here on out, I get to blame all of rap’s problems on slavery and white people.

Yep, fuckin’ right.

And let’s be real, when white people blame rap music, they’re really blaming Black culture. Argue that if you want. You’re thesis will be rejected.

The next time I hear somebody blame anything on rap music, I’m going to turn right back around and say its all white people’s fault for enslaving a bunch of ninjas so many years ago and making us have to rap.

Stupid? Definitely. Clearly we don’t have to rap. But fuck it. We do. But its also stupid to blame all social ills on rap and rappers, like Tupac made somebody rob you. Being broke mad that ninja rob you, Tupac just gave him the theme music to do so.

It’s gotten so easy and cliche to blame shit on rap music that it sounds like an automatic response. Politicians, pastors, teachers, researchers, etc…they all have managed to find some way to blame rap for whatever ill of society occurs this week. There have been shoddy “scientific” studies that say people who listen to rap music are more violent, have sex more, use drugs more, blah blah blah.

Okay.

Slavery.

Yep, that even includes white folks because there can’t be slaves without slaveowners. My argument is that the descendents of slaveowners who were out there sneaking to rape black women secretly love Black shit so those are the ones who get so caught up in Black culture now. Which would include, this violent, misogynistic rap culture that promotes the same values that the slaveowners exacted into their slaves so long ago.

Yep.

Slavery.

I remember once that I was walking around southwest DC and these two white boys who quite obviously only listen to rap music drove by blasting their terrible rap music loud as the fuck. It was like 1pm on a Tuesday. I saw a bunch of white folks (and black folks actually) looking with disgust as these two fuckers serenaded the entire working district with their overworked subwoofers.

I got to thinking, “I wonder if these white folks think this is all Black people’s fault because of rap music?”

I’d wager yes.

However, had they said anything about it out loud, I would have been well within my right mind to say, “you can blame the rap music and us ninjas, but it’s your fault for putting us in a position to be status hogs and have to wear our success on our sleeves since you took everything we ever had back in the 16, 17, and 1800’s. Oh yes, let’s not forget the 1900’s either since we just STARTED to be ABLE to be integrated into white society. Though I do love how racism has managed to erase itself from the American psyche in such a short amount of time, don’t you?”

Word to Bob Jones University.

I love how this country is so quick to pretend like slavery was such a thing of the past and that what was started back then stopped in 1865 when slavery was “abolished”. If you bring up slavery, white folks (some, not all, let me be very clear on that) are quick to tell you that it wasn’t them so they shouldn’t be held accountable for the actions of their ancestors. Fair point.

But if motherfuckers can still be rich off cotton money, then why is it that other motherfuckers can’t still be poor because of it?

So yes, the next time somebody wants to blame Curtis Jackson, I’m blaming Stonewall Jackson.

God Bless America.
