"But on the campaign trail in South Carolina on Friday, Obama told a town meeting that rappers who use derogatory language are 'degrading their sisters.'
"'I do think we've seen a coarsening of the culture,' Obama told The Associated Press afterward.
"'I think that we have not talked enough about the harmful images and messages that are sent,' he said.
"'I think that all of us have become a little complicit in this kind of relaxed attitude toward some pretty offensive things,' he said. 'And I hope this prompts some self-reflection on the part of all of us.'"

Booker T. Washington said:
"There is another class of colored people who make a business of keeping the troubles, the wrongs, and the hardships of the Negro race before the public. Having learned that they are able to make a living out of their troubles, they have grown into the settled habit of advertising their wrongs -- partly because they want sympathy and partly because it pays. Some of these people do not want the Negro to lose his grievances, because they do not want to lose their jobs....There is a certain class of race-problem solvers who do not want the patient to get well, because as long as the disease holds out they have not only an easy means of making a living, but also an easy medium through which to make themselves prominent before the public."
