ANTI-SNITCH CAMPAIGN

There's been talk about this anti-snitching campaign for quite some time now. Alot of rappers endorses this idea which in a sense is a bit perplexing to me. For one, their ideology of what snitching is misconstrued and taken off face value. Especially for the youth that look up to them as their idols. First of all, let me be the first to say that those who talk about snitching are the same ones who be pointing fingers and telling on everyone to save their own asses. Real men don't gossip so when you have people concerned with what a person is doing, its disturbing. Everyone talks about keeping it real and the code of the streets, but I dont know what code they're living up to. If its for the glorifying of the same streets that costed me seven years of incarceration, I could care less about the streets. The streets don't make me! I may come from there but I'm not a by product of the streets. Aint nothing cute about that, but often times you have these fraudulent people trying to dictate to the young what their life should be about. Some of these dudes be grown ass men hanging out with kids half their age as if they're having a mid-life crisis of some sort. Instead of coaching them to do what's right like going to school and staying off the streets, these clowns infiltrate the young and steer them down a path of destruction. How honorable is that? On top of that, these same dudes don't have the discipline to sit down in a school setting but here they are training your kids on the code of the streets. Let me tell you this, half of what you hear from the media concerning rappers is not true. Its all a facade! These dudes are not as tough as they portray themselves to be on television. Its an act to draw attention and often times look like uncivilized beings. This is what your kid pays attention to and these are the images he/she praises. I know for a fact that ninety five percent of the people in the rap music industry could not survive the ordeal of being Suspended In Time for an extended period. They wouldn't know what to do. You have to have tough skin to survive so I don't buy into the anti-snitching thing because most of them would tell on me and you if the opportunity presented itself. Snitching is frowned upon in the inner city but alot of regular civilians think this rule applies to them. No its not! Its more so when two people do something together, one gets caught and tells on the next to save his own ass. Noone forced that person to do what he did, he had free will and knew the consequences but he still participated. Now he's on the witness stand testifying to lighten his sentence. On the other hand, you have a regular law abiding civilian whose been living in his apartment for the past twenty years and he witnesses a crime. Its their duty to say what they saw because they can be subpoenaed to court. Lying on the witness stand is perjury, you saw what can happen when you lie in the Lil Kim trail. If a person witnesses a family member brutally injured and testifies on their behalf, that is not the equivalent of snitching. That's caring for family. Everyone has their own concept of this word, but I just broke it down to you in the simplest form. Remember the first person to point a finger has three pointing back at them. Dont put yourself in a comprimising situation so you won't have to worry about all that. Remember the streets has no loyalty to noone so those advocating this whole anti-snitch thing are the same ones who maybe agents or police informants.
