Hi. Was learning about your former Empire’s colonies in Africa and the South Pacific and was wondering are there any remnants of that colonial past lingering in Germany’s demographics? I understand you lost those during WW1, so there’s a general dissonance between those countries and your country, but I was wondering are there still people living in Germany who trace their roots back to the former colonies? I know there’s a good portion of Afro-German people but I’m asking about the specific former-German colonies like Namibia, Cameroon, etc.

Bad people exist all throughout the music industry it’s quite an issue overall with the amount of r*pists, cheaters, and scummy individuals, but it seems that a lot of those in the hip hop industry, at least a lot of the famous/popular ones, are just bad people. Domestic abusers, hard drug addicts, and in some cases murderers or attempted murderers. Like I said before people like that are all over the music industry as a whole, and not all rappers are people who would normally be unrespectable like Kendrick or Tyler, but they seem to be consolidated in rap. So this may come off as tone deaf or ignorant but is there a reason for why so many hip hop artists are thugs or deplorable people?

EDIT: I’m absolutely not saying that other genres of music don’t have their fair share of horrid humans, I said that at the beginning of my post, they are rampant in the music industry, especially rock, I get that, I’ve heard the stories I know it’s bad in other areas. I just asked the question pertaining to rap because rap is so prevalent in our culture nowadays. Kids listen to these artists and look up to them as role models. Are some of these artists the kinds of people we want our kids to be inspired by? And when I mentioned drug use, I didn’t mean it to be disparaging. Drug addicts are NOT bad people, but it’s the glorification of hard drug use in the culture of rap and in the song lyrics. It’s presented as a regular normal thing to take cocaine and lean in some of the songs, which is not normal for sure. So there’s a difference between being an addict and wanting to change that vs being an addict and accepting it and spreading that mindset on impressionable listeners.
