An emotional, grieving mother addressed her child’s killer in a Milwaukee courtroom on Dec. 15, calling him a “cold-hearted, backstabbing coward” and a “lying devil in disguise.” Tamio Shipman-Allen was found guilty of killing his girlfriend’s 14-month-old daughter and sentenced to 28 years in prison, and 16 years of extended supervision.

The half-empty courtroom in the Milwaukee Safety Building was silent as defendant Oscar Barrera was sentenced for punching a man in a tavern fight, ultimately killing him. As Judge Jeffrey A.

Amidst the recent rape allegations against hip-hop legend Russell Simmons, we must consider the history of hip-hop music promoting rape culture.
