Quote 1 “Rap videos lead young black males to internalize a positive image of Black culture that emphasizes the degradation of women as objects, the lurid appeal of money, and material possessions, as well as the endorsement of alcohol and drug use. With constant exposure to these images, it is no surprise that we have seen many instances of young black men attempting to emulate these images through overt behaviors such as drug use, domestic violence, and criminal activity. “ -University of Miami, Sociology Department
Quote 2 "Blacks are disproportionately represented in all arrests, and more so in those for violent crimes than for property crimes." -Michael E. Ross, Professor at Columbia University
