This is not a popular statement, I can’t get through the phone lines to say it. But if u want to change the thinking, change the music. All day WGCI and 92.3 play violent songs. Songs that have no redeeming factors just violence against women, others and self. What we feed our ears with constantly is what is brainwashing us. Then tv backs it up with mindless shows LOVE and Hip Hop, Housewives Basketball Wives….teaching us that wrong behavior is normal. And don’t say parents should control this….we are in the multi generations of this type of upbringing…Big Mama, she isn’t around like that. Now we all got a bunch of mamas like the one on love and hip hop ATL.
