K, I'll bite.   Please direct this old white guy to the sources that have lead you to this conclusion.  What raps would you recommend?  My vote goes to Bukowski.

Comparing him to Jackson and Sharpton is like shooting fish in a barrel.   Since they've both made things worse, how about a real challenge, and try to find someone that's done more harm.

Without a doubt!

Me Against the World (one of Pac's BEST)

...Through this supression

they punish the people that's askin questions

And those that possess, steal from the ones without possesions

The message I stress: to make it stop study your lessons

Don't settle for less - even the genius asks his questions

Be grateful for blessings

Don't ever change, keep your essence

The power is in the people and politics we address

Changes (Favorite)

It's time for us as a people to start makin' some changes.

Let's change the way we eat, let's change the way we live

and let's change the way we treat each other.

You see the old way wasn't working so it's on us to do

what we gotta do, to survive...

...It's war on the streets & the war in the Middle East

Instead of war on poverty they got a war on drugs

so the police can bother me

They Dont Give A F**k About Us

(Illuminati/Implanted Microchip (Verichip) warning?)

When these devils try to plot, trap our young black seeds

Look it, Cops are just as crooked as the ****** they chasin'

Lookin' for role models, Our father figures is bases

Some say they expect ILLUMINATI take my body to sleep...

...before I flee COMPUTER CHIPS, I gotta deal wit brothas flippin I don't see no devils bleedin', Only black blood drippin

We can change, Whatcha now say?
