Bakari Kitwana's novel "The Hip Hop Generation", states the problems that African Americans have with the justice system, however, they are dealt with a bad hand. Chunk 2 discusses the race war, policing, incarceration as well as the containment of the black youth. During the years of 1964 and 1984 the hip-hop generators, which consisted of a group of African-Americans who faced a series of crisis within their culture. Even in today's world, the one thing that stops the younger generation is the prison crisis according to author Bakari Kitwanna because the prison crisis is what affects black Americans the most with an overall percentage of 62% of black amles in state prisons.With the corruption of the justice system as well as the decline of black power is one heck of a bad sign for all African Americans so far. Author Bakari Kitwana also implies that within the hip-hop generation, there is a difference between both male and female with the problem being that in a rap song women are either referred to as "bitches" or "ho's". How do you think the problems that people of this generation face point out a better future for the next hip-hop generation?
Clarification: What makes people think that the hip-hop generation signifies drugs and crimes?
Application: Do you think racial-based injustice also remained in the judiciary system, which triggered black youth's disbelief in policing?
