So what if hitler didn't make money off of it... His story still get's told. So if Dr. Dre and Ice Cube were dead and couldn't make money off it would this be ok to show kids then? Your argument is stupid... Obviously White America doesn't look at these two indiviuals the way you do. CubeVision and Beats by Dre are the evidence. You guys are talking about what NWA said to influence black kids. But what about all the movies and tv show that promote negative images of blacks and how this has affected people of all races not just whites?

NWA has already done what they have done... the movie is not promoting misogyny. What's the point of boycotting something that changed history.

Were you making this same argument when Beats by Dre hit the market?
