This discussion and these facts have been posited by leading scholars at non-first-tier schools for decades, without national press attention.

Patterson’s selective usage of scholars perhaps prevented him from a more comprehensive approach at the issue.

However, one thing he hints at about black culture, still, is critical. There are a plethora of blacks who are really neoaccomodationists, deracialzed figures that derive their conception of black culture and ideology from systemic, hegenomic white structures. Should this trend continue, pursuing money and music (two main aspects of the American capitalist experience) may lead to the incorporation that he claims might alleviate this black male “delimma.”

Personally, although I sincerely doubt that is the key. We might consider keeping in mind that possibility.

Once we recognize that we can change it, we almost certainly will do so. No matter how much we may wish otherwise, the media we consume affects our behavior just as the food we eat affects our bodies. Without realizing that, we have been consuming media that has damaged our cultural health. Once we know that what we watch/listen to/read does have an impact on us, we can make informed choices that will result in rapid cultural change.

Another point we should keep in mind is that the vast majority of media sources generating negative hip-hop culture are controlled by White people, and the content may or may not be an intentional cultural attack on our community. Either way, the dearth of positive-message hip hop on the air is highly suspect considering how many artists are interested in producing it, and how many people would want to hear it.
