There’s no subversive influence on AA boys causing us to want to perform. However, the media presents sports and music as pathways to success, when they rarely are. This is simply the reality of a sensationalized, consumer-driven culture. I doubt it’s intentional, but it is detrimental. As for the inequality of the college admissions process, that is merely a reflection of hundred of years of subjugation.

Low socioeconomic status = low college admission rates = low levels of success in modern economy = disillusionment with set economic systems = turning to rapping/sports OR crime = failure (generally) = low socioeconomic status. That is the cycle, my dear.
