Host  Naomi Johnson:

“Why is it that every time a Black rapper gets into legal trouble, the media has a field day, but when a white rock star or metal artist does the same — or worse — it’s swept under the rug? Let’s talk about it.”

“Gangsta rap is always labeled as violent, toxic, or degrading to women. But what about heavy metal and hard rock? Those artists rap about literal murder, rape, Satanism, and disrespect toward white women — but somehow, they’re seen as ‘artistic’ or ‘rebellious.’”

“Look at lyrics from metal bands like Slayer, Cannibal Corpse, or even old Guns N’ Roses. They talk about torturing women, shooting people for fun, and overdosing on drugs. But when rappers speak about their trauma, poverty, or survival — they’re demonized as criminals.”

“White celebrities like Elvis Presley, Jerry Lee Lewis, and Roman Polanski had real allegations of predatory behavior, but they’re still celebrated. Meanwhile, Black artists are destroyed in the court of public opinion before they even step into a courtroom.”

“And let’s be real — white-on-white crime exists too. From mass shootings to biker gangs to meth-fueled domestic abuse — that doesn’t get turned into a cultural crisis.”

“So here’s the truth: The problem isn’t the music — it’s the racism. If we’re gonna talk about accountability, let’s make it equal. Black music is not more violent. White culture is not more pure. And it’s time to break down the double standard.”
