Race ,Gender and Media

Relevant Articles on Race, Music and hip hop

Protesters are exercising their rights of freedom of speech and freedom of peaceful assembly. It is sad to note that we are still seeing many forms of racism in the United States. One wonders whether racism will ever come to an end or not. Is racism better now or getting worse than during the slave trade period?Whoever is the creator of music videos should not be creating music videos that carry demeaning messages against any race.

Whatever we can say on this board will not change anything, after all, who will hear us? Who will support our views?It is crystal clear that there are still many people who like the so-called “race superiority.” Such group of people is still living behind because the contemporary world is now agitating for more diversity. Even in Europe, Asia and Africa, they are all calling for diversity, that is, having all races mingling together whether at work, in schools, colleges, universities and all other public places.

Those protesters will win the war of racism because they have the law on their side, and the world will support them. The majority of mankind is good regardless of race, gender and nationality.Music should be disseminating good messages to every age group. Music producers should be concentrating on producing music which is educational without demeaning or insulting any one or any race.

We should live in peace and love one another regardless of difference in racial origins. Moreover, no race is more superior than the other. We are all equally created by One God. Love is the only way to promote peace. Therefore, let’s go out and promote love, reconciliation, unity and diversity.
