As we all know, Donald Trump is the most controversial Presidential Candidate of our time. I'm not really sure what to think of his statements and his retractions. He is a business man at heart and it shows through his debates. He has called out candidates for Trumps contributions towards their campaigns. Regardless of his ridiculousness, he's still popular. A part of me thinks he pays people to stand in the crowd to root for him. I wouldn't be all that surprised if that were the actual case.
A question was posed in our class about rap music being a "good representation" of black/or minority cultures in America. The responses we got varied and the majority seemed to have this understanding of rap music and what they say aren't what we would consider to be "reality", in the sense of it's not to be taken seriously. I'm sure there is a small group of people on earth that derive their life lessons from music, however, when given thought, rap is music, and music doesn't always have the best of messages.
Pop Culture in America has grown since its beginnings and continues to grow as a popular topic of conversation. Topics like Gay Marriage/Marriage Equality, Media, Video Games, Sexism are always hot topics of discussion. In the Pop Culture realm, comedians that speak on the topics such as abortion, domestic violence, and even rap receive an interesting mix of hatred and sympathy towards their cynical attitude. If not able to speak of these topics, how do we get over them?
