That’s your schtick in trade: calling other people racist and behind the times. That’s what governs you on the Left. This is what I was referring to when I called you and your ilk reactionary. If we criticize something, you knee jerk defend it: even racist, sexist, vulgar rap music. Obviously not all of it meets this criteria, but a large % of it does.
You brought up racism here. I confirmed that certain criteria likely was an indication of racism.

There is a difference between being reactionary and just responding. If you criticize something illogically or unjustly, expect to get called on it. Loud, profane music in public annoys me, too. It's rude. I'm not going to spiral off into tangential criticism of culture and claim it is a sign of why society as I want it is falling apart, etc. That's what I saw in your post, and I made a pretty freakin mild joke about your being curmudgeonly. And not without empathy, actually. At 52, I know I have some of that in me, too.

I don't consider many people here particularly reflective, including you, so when you claim something is racist, sexist, and vulgar, I'm skeptical of your assessment of all three. Thank you for clarifying that you're not saying this about all rap.

So when Rachel Maddow, I mean Mark Cuban said that the women around Trump are weak and dumb, he did the same thing with women that democrats do with black people. He acted as if they are low quality human beings for not being a looney liberal. Not to mention, he's just wrong in every way.
Just another shaming technique. It works on the sheep of their party to keep them in line when one of them has an independent thought It doesn’t work on us, though, cus we’re too busy clinging to our guns and our Bible. And oh yeh working and taking care of our families

Uhh... anybody who universally criticizes all rap as misogynistic, etc IS likely racist or a get-off-my-lawn guy or both. It's pretty logical. No brainwashing necessary.

You're right about one thing: I do think it's apples to orange man to compare musical artists' art to a politician's conduct in his personal life. When Cardi B brags about groping other women in real life without asking permission, I'll be happy to condemn it.

Don't listen to it if it offends you, just like reading a library book: No one forces you to turn to page 147 to read the dirtiest part of the whole book (with NO oral sex!) out loud at a school board meeting.
It’s blasted through the loud speakers at sporting events. It’s not like I’m pulling this trash up on YouTube for shits and giggles. Sporting events: you know the ones with small children and senior citizens. Completely inappropriate

You act like to make a point by comparing things, it must be an apples to apples comparison. The left has been going after Trump for the language he uses to describe women since 2015. Mostly exaggerating his words and creating false narratives to what he means. But they have artists perform at their rallies who demean women and show no respect for women. Even have women who are terrible role models for young girls half naked, twerking or singing about crude and nasty sex acts. You might think that this is apples to oranges, but it is absolutely a double standard. But we know, without double standards, the left wouldn't have any standards at all.

It’s hate speech directed at women primarily but there’s plenty of other groups targeted as well. How can you not make assumptions about people who enjoy listening to it?
You’ve been brainwashed into believing that anyone who criticizes rap is either racist, or get off my lawn guy, or both. Slowly but surely you’ve lost the ability to think for yourself.
