Another thing I want to point out....
We keep talking about role models....
Just as many black kids look up to 50 Cent as white kids who look up to George W Bush....
GW has 4 companies before finally basically was GIVEN a perfect situation and was able to make some cash. You can make an arguement that he is a murderer and a liar. (An arguement, not saying that its fact)
Now lets analyze 50 Cent. Grew up in a bad situation ....has found his Niche in the entertainment industry. Knowing what sells, he plays up his "bad boy" image because he knows it sells. A pretty smart marketer if nothing else....
I think at a certain point you reach and age where (if brought up correctly) ...you can see the entertainment industry for what is...entertainment.
You see that most everything is just for show. So if I had a kid who could eventually grow up to realize this fact....I think you can make a pretty strong arguement that you would rather they follow some rap star's foot steps............Then becoming a blind leader, a liar, a killer...a bad person.
