> And what defines "hate"? Are they going be as consistent with the content of gangsta rappers? I'd wager no. Probably because the content from "gangsta rappers" doesn't instigate brutality that leverages a power imbalance the way cultural and systemic hatred drive police brutality. > thug brutality is a bigger problem than police brutality It's objectively not, and I won't hide the reasoning either: police brutality is the end result of power-induced amplification of (as noted earlier) cultural and systemic hatred against minority/protected classes. "Thug" brutality on the other hand... isn't even a thing. p.s. Your implicit analogy between "gangsta rappers" and "thug" brutality suggests you see "thug" and "black" as analogous; not sure if that's what you were going for, but it certainly reads that way. And since you're asserting "thug brutality" as being worse than power-imbalanced crime - more specifically since you're stating your perception of black-on-black crime as worse than police-on-black crime - it's important for you to understand why the movement itself is so focused on police brutality and systemic bigotry.
