that is also a misnomer. you're half correct if you are talking about black high schools and junior high schools. kids easily embrace gangsterism and bling. at the same time, if you look at colleges and beyond that, the roots, common..etc are prevalent as well as the pop stuff. the whole neo-soul movement in many ways was a reaction and rejection of the degeneration of hip hop and r&b. try going to a snoop & dre concert sometime. the chronic 2001 tour when they hit atlanta had to be like 90% caucasion.

Seriously, everyone wants to be a victim nowadays. I was watching that Russel Simmons Def Poetry show on HBO and damn near every poet was up there whining and crying about how unfair everything in life is and how oppressed they are. It was kind of comical but also a little bizarre.

Isn't that what all poets do?

Someone up above mentioned that white people don't wanna be culpable for the problem.....what the hell problem are you guys talking about? You guys have a real victimhood mentality.

another prime example of the denial. i'm amused that you completely missed the gist of the exchange between myself and eihtball, which was basically "ignore the dogs, they are not interested in solving the problem as they are the problem"
--- Quote ---As for you not waiting for Uncle Sam's help, it is not the government's job to take care of you hand and foot . In a free and prosporous country like the US, everyone is responsible for themself

the way americans look at their government is almost self-destructive. supposedly it is the people that define the role of govt, however the people don't expect govt to make their lives easier. the people seem content with a govt that only works to serve the rich and powerful in expanding their power and influence domestically and globally. i'd say it's one of the reasons western culture is intrinsically flawed.
--- Quote ---Honestly, people like that don't know the first thing about being a victim or oppressed.
--- End quote ---
you don't have to enslaved or rounded up into concentration camps to be a victim or oppressed
