Bill Cosby about Gangsta Rap, drugs and youth

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VXrLnshM_ME

This video discusses the influence that race/ethnicity has had on our youth and society as a whole. I think it relates to the discussion we had in class concerning how we think individuals act based on the race or nationality they seem. For example, all asian people are smart or all black people love fried chicken. In this video Bill Cosby discusses the impact music has on white society, ie white individuals who listen to gangsta music and than mock the words that they hear in the music. Also black individuals who say the "n" word saying they say it to take back control over the word its just riducious.
