Document Summary
Mtc helped popularize rap: watched by suburbians, who were thought to be hostile towards rap. Had no shame and continued to bad mouth the minorities. Ethnic stereotyping runs deep in american popular culture- can eve come in forms of minority jokes- but the movements are making the jokes less tolerable: making ethinicty known is very important to people. It shows a new acceptance, a license to say derogatory things about other people. People making these statements are being real and not covering anything up : theme of rebelling against authority . Hompphobia is rekindled by fear of aids- all the songs flaunt homophobia: whenever there is a group that tries to assert themselves, there will be backlash. Free speech allows denunciation of bigotry: tolerance does not mean acceptance. Free speech allows people to denounce the disgust and prejudicial conduct, but guns and roses have not generated a peep from anyone.
