We don't need more rappers, we need more politicians, doctors, engineers. People in positions of power so that the status quo can change.
Until then nothing's going to change, and IMHO that would take more than a couple generations

A title doesn’t give you power in America if you are a minority. You will still be seen as a threat. I live in the most affluent county in my state, and our household is above the median household income, my son and his (Black) friend still gets stares walking around unless they are hanging out with their larger group of White friends.
But yes rioting does change things. It forces people to pay attention.
Increased surveillance of political organizers and low-income neighborhoods, more military weaponry at their disposal, laxer guidelines around 'use of force'.
Because those types of things never happened in during the peaceful marches in the 60s...
We need to use the system of governance we have at our disposal to try and fix this. It's the harder but also only truly effective means of recourse society has at its disposal.
We don’t have that system at our disposal when the majority prioritizes the life of a fetus (or for that matter a dog) over the life of minorities.
