At least he will have a career in hip-hop after the campaign between this and the way he talks about women.

At least he will have a career in hip-hop after the campaign between this and the way he talks about women.

this is the most annoying non-point I see from "christian" conservatives: most hip hop artists were born into poverty and thus their music describes the experience from someone who didn't get the same educational opportunities as a Donald Trump. They also aren't running for President, so shouldn't be held to Presidential standards.

It is made by people with millions of dollars (whom I'm sure could go back to college if they wanted and are just as intelligent as Trump) and enjoyed by millions of middle class Americans.  And there are millions of people born into poverty who have high character and don't use such things as an excuse.  I don't hold "artists" to the standards of someone running for president, but don't pretend you are suddenly sickened by it just because it is coming from Trump instead of a cool person.

My point is that hip hop describes a reality for people whose voices aren't often heard. I'm not saying everyone born into poverty has high moral character, but I am saying that it is more likely to have a warped value system because of that struggle to survive. Someone who didn't get a high school degree and is living in the barest of circumstances is far more likely to have the kind of views of women Trump has than a person who had the opportunities to do so. I think that's obvious.

Trump is not someone describing the realities of black poverty and the mindset that comes with it - he's just a spoiled rich kid who thinks he can grope any woman he wants.

That mindset doesn't automatically arise out of black poverty and isn't unique to it. Trump seems well acquainted with it.
