The Code Of Silence

Andrea: Well I totally agree with what Rhymefest said. I felt the way he did before I even watched the clip on VladTv. He spoke about how people in modern day dont really know what snitchin is. It just turned into something everyone says just because. He said that if a dope dealer was dealing drugs in front of his house and he calls the police, it doesnt mean he's snitchin. When you and another person did something bad together and you get caught and blame it in them. well thats snitchin, and i agree. He asked "Who do you go to?". Overall People dont know who the enemy is. The enemy is the person sticking the gun in your mouth and bringing drugs in your community.

Kyle: I agree with what Rhymefest was saying about snitching. The way I see it is that back then peole would never snitch if the crime was very bad but now people say never snitch about anything no matter how big or little the situation. One thing I realize is that alot of things happen to good people and wit no one wanting to snitch it gets worse. I think everyone should get together and make sure nothing happens in their community. Do to no one reporting the situation it could lead to further problems. I think people should break the code of silence.

Kiante: Well personally I agree with the majority of what Rhymefest said on VladTv. But there were some points that he made that I did'nt agree with for example when he said snicthin in some cases is good. I think snitchin period is bad but I do believe in doing the right thing. For example telling the police about a trap house is doing the right thing in my eyes.

Group disscussion: Kiante made a valid point that snitchin is when you tell on someone because you benifit from it, but its a diffrence between snitching and doin the right thing. Doing the right thing is making sure the neighborhood is safe and protect your family by any means neccesary. Kyle felt that people are snitching now just to be snitching, and not really knowing back the they said not to snitch because the crimes were worse probably.He also said you have to know what to report if its a family member you have to report and its not snitching its doing the right thing. Well Andrea was saying that we need protection in our communities so therefore we wouldnt have anymore so called "snitching". So overall we all feel that most of the points Rhymefest made we agreed upon, but kiante didnt agree with all. Also that its a dffrence between doing the right thing and snitching. People dont understand that.
