Hi, I'm the point. While you were busy indulging your righteous indignation, you went straight past me.

Nowhere in my post did I say that every black American DESIRES to be one of these individuals, only that they are held up as role models.

The fact that you even had the nerve to even use THAT term in such away says volumes about you and your own perception, hatred of yourself and the world around you.
Hey, I didn't make the term, and I'm not the one who applied it to these rappers. They do that themselves about twelve or thirteen times per 'song.' IMO, if that is how they choose to label themselves, then that is how they shall be inferenced. Leave the hypocritical butthurt at the door, thank you, have a nice day.

Also, personal attacks are unnecessary. You don't know me, you've never met anyone who has, so take a fucking breather and regain your objectivity, mmkay?


Duh, This is capitalism at its finest. The image is a marketing product that sells!
Undisputed. WHY is the issue. Lern2marketing.

middle and lower class whites comprise the biggest sales demographics for hip-hop.
See above statistics re: population densities. lern2statistics.

Really Maelgrim how many black kids do you know? When was the last time you went with a good friend to their old neighborhood.
African American? Not many. I spent a lot of time in the pilbara though, so I had quite a few Aboriginal friends.

I don't see where you're going with this.

You really don't know the contributing circumstance that black kids, or any kid of any race who has grown up in less than idea circumstances in life are facing.
Again with the personal assumptions and attacks! And WE'RE the ones who this is supposedly cutting a little close to home with?

You have no idea the circumstances I grew up in. Step off. Thank you.

The fact that Gromgor and yourself seem to think that it's a race thing. Definitely display your true grasp on whats really going on, while showcasing a huge lack of diversity.
We were enunciating that the glorification of criminals as role models as presented with rap, hip hop, and that wretched chimera mislabeled as R&B, present a poor example to be setting to black youth. That, dear sir, was ALL.

And trust me your LABEL that you gave it. AIN'T even 20% of the PROBLEM.
Huh? You lost me.

***We interrupt this announcement**


We inform Maelgrim that Obama isn't the first black person that youth of the black race or any other American race could aspire to be.
Never said he was, but shit, positive role models are never a bad thing to have more of, not to mention his election is considered to be a SUPERMASSIVE step in American Reconciliation... That's how our domestic media's been presenting it anyway.

Our communities are filled with them. Ranging from Preachers, Police officers, Mechanics, Garbage men/women, Teachers, elected officials, Doctors and businessmen.
That's true, but they're not the ones with hours of coverage on the electric babysitter, are they?

Again, your personal indignation is causing you to miss the issue.

This doesn't even deserve a comment.
Oh fuck, it's called levity, god forbid I try and inject some amongst all this indignant flatulence.

...?

Yeah. This one doesn't even have to be explained.

Nope, it's not biologically possible.
