I was born in 1969. I have been enjoying rap and video games since the 1980s. My mother, who was born in the 1940s, has been playing video games since 1982 and still does to this day. My grandparents, who fought in WWII and lived through the Great Depression, also played video games back in the day. They did not care for “the rap” but they really didn’t think of it any differently than the “Rock and Roll”…it was just more youth music.
My grandfathers who fought, got their Purple Hearts, and killed who knows how many other young men…never used a gun again to kill anything. If I played with sticks pretending to use it as a gun, they were disturbed. If I pointed a toy gun at another person, it was the end of the fucking play session, and the toy gun was fucked and gone forever. If they found themselves standing in view on a hill, they were fucking disturbed. When they had dementia, they started talking about the killing, shitting, dead children, people fucking in closets on the troop ship, people eating cats and dogs, etc.
In other words, this is 100% racist bullshit.
