Rapper gives reason for outrage

The rappers have done it yet again. For some reason, rappers are all for the notion of offending people so that they will be the topic of conversation, and I guess, seeing as I’m writing about it, they’re succeeding.

The latest rapper to make headlines is Mzansi’s very own Reason. He has posted artwork tagged as #reazuschristiscummin pictured here below.

The image is for a freestyle he is set to release this coming Friday.

I personally find this a little distasteful. I understand that we have the right to freedom of expression, but with that right comes the responsibly to ensure that we don’t offend and hurt others and I know for a fact that a lot of the Christian community will be offended by this.

Similarly with the Charlie Hebdo illustration of the Prophet Mohammed which led to a shoot-out at their offices earlier this year, it is important that we respect one another and respect our differences.

So what do you think? How do you feel about Reason’s image?

 

 

In an age where many powerful structures and bodies of control choose and dictated to the world what the truth was, the "new generations" constant urge to question their perspectives has always been a result of them discovering new ones. Moving into the future, one often finds themself in conflict with their present self, based on previous notions we had of ourselves that were based in the future. Which is now the present. Growing up as a kid, i was given the tools and weapons to protect myself from the evils of this world. I've since gone through a roller coaster of experiences that have tainted that innocent and angelic image they were trying to protect, and it has left me with new truths. At 1pm on Friday the 24th of July, I will present to you a few new truths. Not YOUR truth. Not THE truth. But A truth. MY truth. Spread the word. And this image of my truth. #ReazusChristIsCummin
