what is the difference? i fail to see it, again it boils down to them being majority rich black men, and society for some reason automatically puts a negative stereotype on that.
The difference is the news doesn't put a positive spin on violence, it usually reports it in a serious tone. On the other hand, rap promotes killing police officers, killing people, drug use, and other negative things. It doesn't have much to do with being rich at all, it is just the way that the black rappers make a culture out of drug use and cop killing. It isn't right, period.

The rich black men thing is kind of funny in a way though I must admit. When you think of a rich white guy you imagine caviar, suits, ties, tea, and brandy. When you think of a rich black guy you think of rap, drugs, and assault weapons. (Very broad and stereotypical paragraph meant for humor, but slightly true.)
