Rap music and private prisons

[shitstorm]

I'm not arguing with you about the existence of private prisons a

Uh, actually you were. Here's what you said:

Where are/were these private prisons located? Why would the government not want control of its own prisoners? With all of the money made on rap music (even back then), why would these investors be interested in the likes of government funding?

You very clear. You didn't believe there were private prisons and you couldn't figure out the money angle or why the govt would give up control. THAT'S WHAT YOU FUCKING SAID. That would be fine if you would own what you said instead of trying to walk it back. Just admit what you said.

I'll repeat that I agree with about not being able to know if the music industry story is true. I just thought it was an interesting account to ponder. A couple of the comments seemed to affirm that shit like that goes on, but I'm not in that industry so I can't say. I do know that music and media is very powerful and is an important contributor to shaping culture and our culture has gone into the toilet. It isn't just the thugs who listen to that shit, anymore. Middle class, nice kids are getting their minds poisoned with it and it has an impact. The question is is that premeditated by forces who intend harm. Never mind this anonymous article. That just raises the question.
