Bullying

I did some research on "Cyber bullying" and just bullying its self, Bullying for years has become a social problem just not many are so aware of the fact that this problem is happening every day and is honestly very dangerous. I viewed an article on SFGATE titled "Bullying at top incites an ugly society around"  this article put forward dangers of bullying and really bringing out to the public what bullying is. Bullying is a "criminal threat" many kids commit suicide over the fact of being bullied. our society to John Burton is ugly seeing the fact that we haven't took steps on stop this social problem. I believe that what he states in this article i follow right behind him. Bullying isn't a joke and the situations that occur need to be stopped and that its really is causing Social Problem. I read another article on how Romney Accused of prep school bullying NYTIMES. The fact that a superior addressed bullying at a high achy level was really horrible maybe he didn’t know he was bullying but in all cases most bullies don’t know when there bullying. Bullying can happen when ever without even being knowledgeable I feel Romney was really in the wrong for what he had stated against “Gay Marriage” right after president Obamas endorsed gay marriage. Bullying is making a statement faster as the days go on.

Stigma

Why do most African Americans across the world get judged off what music they listen to, such as Rap? It’s somewhat profiling if you ask me. There are plenty of people around the world who listen to rap then just the young African Americans.  Back when the “rap game” sky rocketed the society became in fear of young black males who listen to rap or get judge and become known as a gangster or just get put in the  statistics of a black male. I have once been put into the statistic and feared by many just off of what I was listening to by society.

Tupac Shakur. A well-known icon, artist, poet and rapper was profiled and named the cause of violence for African Americans. Society never listened to what he had to say in his music they already assumed that his music was strictly the cause. Maybe it was, Maybe it wasn’t? In his lyrics he spoke upon women, the law money, poverty, violence, war, hatred, peace and stereotypes.  He was a true smart poet who had a voice and wasn’t afraid to use it, but just because African Americans listen to his music does it really mean they all act like gangsters or have to feel like a threat to society? Well quickly the ones who are getting profiled are changing the society’s thought on rap by not falling into the statics of a black male but instead educating their self and proving the society wrong that rap isn’t the cause of violence from African Americans.
