The Offensiveness Of 50cent

50cent is a moderate rapper but it turns out he is also a deeply offensive man.


One of his latest tweets says this:

If you a man and your over 25 and you don't eat pu**y just kill your self damn it. The world will be a better place. Lol7:57 AM Sep 30th via ÜberTwitterRetweeted by 100+ people

50cent

I'm assuming that this tweet was by the actual 50 Cent, his account is verified by Twitter.
Let's look at a few statistics to put his silly little comment in perspective.  Studies have shown that lesbian, gay or bisexual adolescents are between two and three times more likely to attempt suicide than straight adolescents.  The Health Education Authority says this:
A large study has confirmed earlier research suggesting that gay and bisexual men face a higher risk of considering and attempting suicide, and of killing themselves. The researchers interviewed nearly 3,000 gay and bisexual men between 1996 and 1998. They found that 21 per cent of the men said they had previously made a plan to kill themselves, and 12 per cent said they had attempted suicide.
With this in mind, 50cent's offensive tweet becomes downright dangerous, given the level of hero worship that there is for 50cent among young people, particularly in the USA.
