   BRAVO, BRAVO! EXCELLENT DISCUSSION, and right on point. Everything you said is absolutely correct!
   I am one of the creators of the film, “SUPERFLY”, which was Gangster, however we had no idea that Black People were going to copy the characters in the movie! “WHY”, because this movie was the first black gangster movie. We vowed to never make another movie like that, in fact we’ve been trying to produce another movie, “IN THE ZONE”, letter of intent from Nelly, and Luda, in which I intended to put the, “ANTIDOTE”, to SuperFly, in this movie. “SUPERFLY”, and, “HIP-HOP”, are cousins, Different Look, Different Time, but the same underlying Gangster Mentality! I am a Children, and Family Therapist, 34 years in the housing projects of NYC. I saw Hip-Hop develop, right before my eyes, step by step! I saw myself, and I saw, “SuperFly”, SAME THOUGHTS, SAME BEHAVIOR, but I couldn’t make anybody understand what I was saying! “HIP-HOP”, is compromised, damaged goods, people see Snoop in a Hoodie, and that image is, “NOT INNOCENT”! So, Hip-Hop(gangster), makes your case WORSE, SAGGING JEANS, UNKEMPT APPEARANCE, BLACK ON BLACK CRIME, SCHOOL DROP OUT! Hip-Hop, is KILLING ITSELF, VIOLENT LYRICS….PEOPLE ARE AFRAID OF HIP-HOP, and they react VIOLENTLY against it! The Hip-Hop GODSm Jay-Z, Diddy, Simmons, must REVERSE THE HIP-HOP IMAGFE, to MAINSTREAM AMERICA, BLEND IN, and not be a, “FEARED CULTURE”! Dr, Watkins, says the same thing I am saying! I am on your side! “SUPERFLY, was an inside glimpse of a, “STREET-LIFE-SUB-CULTURE-IDEOLOGY”, in other words a, SOCIAL DISEASE, described as, “ANY BEHAVIOR THAT IS CONTRARY, TO THE WELL BEING OF SOCIETY AS A WHOLE”! “SUPERFLY, and HIP-HOP”, are cousins, which also makes, HIP-HOP, a social disease as well! It is your culture, but the ITEOLOGY, the UNDERPINNING THOUGHT PROCESS IS GANGSTER, whether you admit it, or not, Whether you realize it or not! Hip-Hop, developed as a, DEFENCE MECHANISM”, against being left out of the Mainstream of American Life, so it was a legitimate response from a DESINFRANCHISED PEOPLE, however when this same people, “GO TO FAR TO THE LEFT, and BECOME AGGRESSIVE, and VIOLENT, THE BECOME THE PROBLEM! Black on Black Crime, is a BLATANT EXAMPLE! Contact me on Facebook by message, and LET US FIX THE PROBLEM, “I KNOW HOW TO DO SO”! Chris Arnett, an FACEBOOK, 216-855-3900, PLEASE

   “We have a very serious problem in this country. No, it’s not welfare mothers, it’s not recent immigrants, it’s not African-American or Latino men, it’s not Arab terrorists-it is young white men. Most of the devastating violence we experience in our communities is committed by young white men between the ages of fifteen and thirty.

   What kind of violence am I referring to? Take your pick. Domestic violence, rape, acquaintance rape, incest, male on male fights, serial killings, racist hate crimes, ***-bashing, arson, campus riots such as recently occurred at Michigan State University, and barroom brawls.

   95% of all violence in our society is committed by males, and although women, Men of Color, and white men of all ages certainly can be violent, the overwhelming majority of acts of violence can be traced to young white men.
