I'm saying, there was one gymnast who is accused of singing this song, not "they". ONE, not several.
This is ONE gymnast who is accused of singing this rap song and then apparently also saying the N word in some unidentified form. And then, several members of the team took umbrage.
And those members believed they should have the responsibility to approve the one back to practice with the team.
Just going for clarity. Just clarity.
From article:
According to team sources, the conflict began early in the fall when several gymnasts heard a teammate who is not Black sing lyrics that included the N-word Two other teammates who heard about the incident and additional use of the N-word approached the gymnast who had sung the lyrics to help her understand why her teammates were offended and seek an apology. But the gymnast denied she had done anything wrong.
However after the young lady transferred her new teammates reported: LSU gymnasts connected with UCLA gymnasts and the accounts were "consistent from the gymnasts that were there and the gymnast that was coming here and not at all what people on the Internet would portray it as," Clark said.
Or how about not using that kind of language in the first place. "Get over it" is just an excuse to allow such reprehensible behavior to continue.
So go after the artists writing the songs, the stations playing them, them companies releasing the albums. Going after the people being marketed too seems a bit ignorant doesn't it? Tell us exactly WHY someone singing popular songs should be accused of "reprehensible behavior" please because I really want to see your logic...

If people want the violent rap songs to go away, they need to stop listening to it, and stop patronizing it. Rappers write what alot of people will listen to. The rappers write those songs (or someone who works with them does), and the listeners listen to such songs. People will do whatever sells.
I’m all for that. It’s going to hurt the rappers bottom line though, but maybe it will help society as a whole to get rid of the violent music.

On the one hand cultural marxists love it when white girls embrace inner city gangsta culture and on the other hand they seek to punish white girls for singing the lyrics to the music that is such an integral part of that culture. We shouldn't be tolerating that word in any music and we shouldn't tolerate our children listening to such music regardless of their race or gender.

The people listening to the music and the people who want to see an end to such music are not the same people.
