CMV: Rappers Shouldn’t Be Obsessed With Diamonds Considering Where Most Diamonds Come From

First, I’d like to say I am a huge rap fan so I’m not coming at this idea as an outsider. I like flashy chains and designer clothes as well and I don’t think that materialism is the issue here, just the fact that most diamonds are mined by enslaved Africans. 

However, I think it’s interesting how rappers seem to be obsessed with diamonds and those same diamonds potentially come from their distant enslaved African relatives. Everyone knows how disgusting the diamond trade is in African and unless rappers like the Migos (who have, no exaggeration, probably 10 millions worth of diamonds between them) specifically source non slave trade diamonds, I don’t get how this doesn’t impact them morally. If I can afford them one day, I’ll probably have a nice classy diamond necklace or something because I like jewelry too but I’m going to ensure those diamonds didn’t come from African slaves. 

I hope nothing I said was offensive and I’m interested in what you guys have to say about it. I feel like this is something that has’t been posted on here before.

Edit: I don’t mean to make it seem like all rappers are African American. More so, Rap was originated by very conscious African Americans and I would expect any race rapper to respect African and African American culture and not want to partake in anything negatively contributing to Africa, or anywhere a historically oppressed people come from.

Conclusion: I thank everyone who responded with thought out and educated responses. I did learn a bunch and awarded deltas to those with good comments. However, to the PC easily triggered white people, the racist accusations are pathetic. This was simply a post to discuss a thought, I’m not a racist, I don’t think Africans and American Black people are the same, I feel like anyone with a brain would have realized that. Just had to give a big FU to PC wannabe racist reddit vigilantes. Thanks again to those with good comments. My view on this has been changed. Peace!

You're assuming a lot here. One, not everyone truly knows or understands the diamond industry or its atrocities.  And two, African doesn't equal African American.  In fact, there's a history of contention between the two groups as they don't necessarily see themselves as the same thing. Sure, they may look similar to non blacks,  but the two groups have significantly different cultures,  history,  and at this point different phenotypic make ups that become quite glaring when discussing societal issues. Hell,  the diamond business doesn't even affect all Africans the same.  Remember that Africa is a continent with 54 different countries,  roughly 2000 known languages and an infinite number of ethnic groups. What affects the Nigerian might not bother the Ethiopian.
