State Dept. Spends $70,000 on Hip-Hop Diplomacy; Music Promotes Violence, Misogyny, Drugs
In a curious move, the U.S. government is investing tens of thousands of dollars to promote American culture abroad by using music famous for glamorizing violence, misogyny, drugs and lawlessness. The project is called Bridging Cultures Through Hip-Hop and it aims to “explore the commonalities and differences between India and the United States through this influential music genre,” according to the State Department, which plans to spend $70,000 on the absurd endeavor.
In its announcement the agency omits the dark side of Hip-hop, a predominantly African-American brand well known for graphic lyrics involving urban violence and the abuse of women. Instead, the State Department celebrates Hip-hop musicians for using “their art to highlight socio-political problems, particularly pertaining to youth in underserved and other minority communities.” Hip-hop will serve as a valuable tool to show the vibrancy and innovative creativity of U.S. society, according to the State Department, because it exemplifies free expression that promotes values such as pluralism, tolerance and inclusion. With roots in New York, Hip-hop has become so popular that it has “ascended to a global art form,” the government asserts.
Note this ^^^ above paragraphs reads like a PHD theses for ethnic grievance studies, the pandering is really over the top.
WHOEVER ALLOWED THIS SPENDING OF my TAX DOLLARS NEEDS TO BE FIRED. What a waste of money, and absolute flushing down the toilet. I want to ask anons
do they think "country music" is used to spread American Cultural vibrancy- the answer is it's not. But the cabal plantation music gets a pass.
