04/24/07 - 'Stop Snitchin' takes hold in cities
Tuesday, April 24, 2007
'Stop Snitchin' takes hold in cities If someone you loved was gunned down in front of you, would you tell police everything you saw? If you think the answer is obvious, you may be stunned by our lead story tonight, which looks at the power of two simple words: "Stop Snitchin." This prase is a catchy, hip-hop slogan that tells people not to talk with police. It preaches an unbending code of silence in poor communities -- and the message has taken root. In many inner-city neighborhoods, witnesses to crime aren't stepping forward, and murders are going unsolved. The driving force behind this troubling trend: rap and hip-hop music. It's bizarre to think that a moral code can be so blatantly marketed, but "Stop Snitchin" appears in hip-hop videos and on t-shirts, Web sites and CD covers, and the people selling the message, including major recording labels, are making millions. My report ran on "60 Minutes" this past weekend. You can see it again tonight on "360." We're building out on the story tonight, and one person we'll talk to is well-respected educator Geoffrey Canada, who makes a forceful case that African-Americans are undermining their own communities by permitting this music and attitude. We'll also talk to hip-hop producer Russell Simmons. It's a provocative subject and we hope you'll join us. -- By Anderson Coope Source CNN

snitching has nothing to do with hip hop it has to do with the streets... you will learn not to snitch the easy way or the hard way... when i was a kid i learned the hard way... camron gets on 60 mins and that shit blows up like its bran new... just like when Christopher Columbus found sumthing that has always been there but watch how the media will continue to blow this shit up like it was just found

Hate it or love it, they're right. It may be a code that Gs used to live by, but its evolved into a code governing communities, and they're right, it is doing nothing but damage to the black community as a whole. Violence will only proliferate if innocent people don't stand up for what they believe, and I know damn well they want their kids to be safe in those streets.
