Comments made by Mississippi Republican Senate candidate Chris McDaniel on conservative radio about "hip-hopping kids" being responsible for increased gun violence in the United States may derail his bid for the United States Senate.

In a teaser for the syndicated program Right Side Radio published by the Dark Horse Mississippi blog today, McDaniel blamed "rising" American violence on "a morally bankrupt culture...that's called 'hip-hop.'"

"I want to know anything about hip-hop that's been good for this country," he continued.

McDaniel was quick to assert that "this is not about race, because there are just as many hip-hopping white kids as there are hip-hopping black kids."
