I assure that (as a high school teacher I see evidence everyday) not all children know rap music is "art".

If I have to listen to defenders of rap music, I certainly can listen to Imus. Unfortunately, Imus got caught up in the hip-hop vocals which proves my point: What filters in, filters out. Just think what it must have took for a man of is caliber to issue a national apology and he still ot canned in this unforgiving, church-going, predominately Christian society.

Our younger generation would see it as full reality to disrespect black women after listening to some of those lyrics. There are enough poorly groomed black men in our midst and rap music adds to their demise. With over 70% of single black female headed households raising some man's son(s)alone, the next best father-figure for the young black male is a rappers' music. What part of the serious, drop-out rate, headed for jail population and jail break are you not getting? What filters in, filters out when there is not enough guidance involved by well-groomed black men. I feel you are old enough to disinguish between what is art form verses art form played out.
