  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

I don't like Sage Francis; I can't stand his delivery, and as good a lyricist he is, flow/delivery and lyricism are nothing without each other- in my opinion, an all-style-no-substance gangsta rapper than can at the very least locate the snare is no worse than a good lyricist that can't flow.

i teach at UC Berkeley(2nd year graduate student)

I'm glad to see the left coast is preoparing college kids for reall ife by offering classes in irrelevent trends & idiotic, misogynisyic fads. You must be so proud of the lives you touch, I'm wiping away a tear just thinking about it.

How employable will the kids you "teach" be when they graduate? :thumbsup:

ill say majority of my students will say that my critical writing/politics of hip hop class ranks as one of the most practicable and enjoyable class they ever taken at Cal. you do know that uc berkeley is the best public university in america? i taken you never listen to kayne west's lyrics such as "Jesus Walks". again conservatives use the same argument against hip hop culture; which displays thier lack of intelligence or igoranance. so you can stop willl with your typical bill oreilly attacks on the culture of hip hop because its old and lame.

Read peotry by Gwendolyn Brooks, the first African American to get a Pulitzer Prize, THAT'S good, relevant writing. Rap & hip Hop is out of touch with the people they claim to speak for.

I bet you'r poor money wasting students do enjoy your class, it's like a modern day basket weaving, fluff & filler, what a contribution to society you are making.:thumbsup:
