October 20,1993 Insight/California State University, Fresno Page 5 Opinion Hate music breeds violence Chris Branam Weare living in a society thatseems to be sagging under the collective weight of violence. Violence against African-Americans. Violence against Whites. Violence against women. Violence against the elderly. Violence for violence's sake. Beingan independent-minded college student, I always laughed off the notion that the music today's youth listens to is undermining our social fabric. But not anymore. Hate music is taking liberty with thcFirstAmcndmentandholdingpurc whites. Latinos and Asians. worst perpetrators of hate: Militant rap music and white supremacist heavy metal. Militant rap is rooted as a medium through which to instill a sense of pride in a down-trodden African- American population. It spoke to centuries of oppression by Whites, and echoed words of inspiration and hope by great African-American leaders like Martin Luther King Jr. and Malcolm X. But while groups like Public Enemy were quickly making their way in mainstream society selling millions of records, lesser-known, hardcore rap artists were spreading their own "gospel"—of hatred against natural sensibility hostage in our country. I doubt Thomas Jefferson and James Madison had rape and drive-by shootings in mind when they collabo- nt^tniiwwrvlnvri/.arithprlnht to free speech. Now hold on a second. Before the image of Tipper Gore and the rest of Parents' Music Resource Center starts making you queasy, remember this: When Gore and PMRC first started talking about putting warning labels on albums they deemed too offensive Hate whites, these groups said, because they are all afraid of us deep down, don't want to be near us and want nothing more than to lynch us all. tion, however, was that the majority of violent acts against African- Americans were committed by African-Americans, and that almost an entire generation of African-American males is being lost to gang warfare. And heavy metal acts were for impressionable young listeners, screeching a litany of trash about White pride and blasting any other race.

Hate music breeds violence
Chris Branam
Weare living in a society thatseems
to be sagging under the collective
weight of violence.
Violence against African-Americans.
Violence against Whites.
Violence against women.
Violence against the elderly.
Violence for violence's sake.
Beingan independent-minded college student, I always laughed off the
notion that the music today's youth
listens to is undermining our social
fabric. But not anymore.
Hate music is taking liberty with
thcFirstAmcndmentandholdingpurc whites. Latinos and Asians.
worst perpetrators of hate: Militant
rap music and white supremacist
heavy metal.
Militant rap is rooted as a medium
through which to instill a sense of
pride in a down-trodden African-
American population. It spoke to
centuries of oppression by Whites,
and echoed words of inspiration and
hope by great African-American
leaders like Martin Luther King Jr.
and Malcolm X.
But while groups like Public Enemy were quickly making their way
in mainstream society selling millions of records, lesser-known, hardcore rap artists were spreading their
own "gospel"—of hatred against
natural sensibility hostage in our country.
I doubt Thomas Jefferson and
James Madison had rape and drive-by
shootings in mind when they collabo-
nt^tniiwwrvlnvri/.arithprlnht
to free speech.
Now hold on a second. Before the
image of Tipper Gore and the rest of
Parents' Music Resource Center starts
making you queasy, remember this:
When Gore and PMRC first started
talking about putting warning labels
on albums they deemed too offensive
Hate whites, these groups said,
because they are all afraid of us deep
down, don't want to be near us and
want nothing more than to lynch us
all.
tion, however, was that the majority
of violent acts against African-
Americans were committed by African-Americans, and that almost an
entire generation of African-American males is being lost to gang warfare.
And heavy metal acts were
for impressionable young listeners, screeching a litany of trash about
White pride and blasting any other
race.
All the while, liberal media
sources were denouncing any governmental attempt to harness increasingly hateful lyrics by screaming
censorship. At the heart of the campaigns against censorship? Main-
they had the white, suburban middle
class in mind.
"We don't want our precious
Johnnys and Janes being able to buy
what wc deem to be tasteless music
without our permission," PRMC reps
said.
But excluded from PMRC's mes
sage were the forgotten members of stream artists like Madonna and
society — the poor, inner city and George Michael. Mainstream me-
rural kids whose idea of making an
environmental contribution is spray-
painting their neighbor's fence.
Bul when those cans of spray-paint
were replaced by AK-47assault rifles,
all hell broke loose.
Inner-city gangs that once relied
on fear and loathing of people who and in the poor. White rural areas
work for their money started heading the American north we st.
up the fastest-growing businesses in
America. And they always closed their

And then youths from moderate
