So is he saying that all of rap/hip-hop is more damaging than a single statue of Robert E. Lee? If he is, then... well, okay, but that's not much of a statement. One statue, or one confederate flag, has only a limited ability to cause harm, versus taking all of the negatives from an entire, large, body of music. On the other hand, it's also a useless comparison. Because there isn't just one statue of Lee. Comparing the damage from all of the confederate memorials, and confederate flags, and confederate holidays, and everything named after slave owners... well, suddenly that's not quite so clear a comparison. But a whole lot more relevant. And then when you look at the opposites—what's the sum benefit from rap/hip-hop? And then compare that to the sum benefit of everything in this country that praises slave-owners—or those that killed Americans in defense of slave-owning—that's not even close anymore.
