It's a perfectly valid comment to people who want to get rid of "hate speech" but say nothing about the popularity of gangsta rap within this same crowd.

I never understood this.

People are going to assume that you're bringing this up as a trope of culture war and race war, and I'm doubtful that they would be particularly wrong to assume that. That makes it flamebait, which is against the site guidelines. Please don't post like that to HN.

It's a perfectly valid argument and one that I like to make. The "hate speech" crowd rarely, if ever, protests over rap music and for the life of me I never understood why.
