They ---- thats on TV is ------- with kids minds big time. Parents are also the cause of thier children growing up to be massive pieces of ----.

you hit the nail on the head big time.

So you are saying that multimillion dollar labels don't control what kind of music and image is heard/seen? If i'm so stupid than can you tell me what a corporation consist of? I'm a finance major, as far as i know, large record labels, MTV, and all of them companies ------ing propoganda are doing the same ----, MO MONEY. You don't think they have any influence on people? If you can't decipher what i'm saying then chances are you are the topic of my discussion.

Why do you think most middle and upper class people (majority of whites) are gaining more REAL wealth, the underclass are so blinded by the manufactured images that their definition of wealth is a Cadillac and some dubs. That right there explains our declining middle class!

And as far as rap goes, I used NWA, 2pac, Nas, and Wutang as my example of rappers who rap about real issues thats going on in the world or issues in their area. This was before the control of record labels , obviously. Now that record labels have control of hiphop, they got people's heads, like yourself, so ------- twisted theyre singing along to these dumb *** songs-rapping about how much material ---- you gotta have, and basicly glamorizing the ghetto life to be more than it is.

I got respect for the mentioned rappers b/c they at least had real content.

back to my point...

Real ------ want a real life, just like any human being. Who the ---- wants to stay in the ghetto in shitty conditions? I never met a real ***** who came from poverty who didn't want to progress in life and get away from the underclass culture. However, i have met a lot of ------s who come from mansions, and middle class nieghborhoods who want to keep staying ignorant and "keep it real," "keep it gangster." It dosn't make any logical sense to me...

I have also met blacks in great neighborhoods that continue to live ignorantly. Its pretty crazy. I personally hate blacks. There comes a time once in a blue moon when I meet a cool one that I can get along with. As of now I have one friend whos black.

I was NOT raised to be like this. I have developed my own thoughts.

The attitude and lifestyle blacks have make us hate them.
Its all about me, I dont give a ---- about you attitude.

The reason racism still exists is because people can't drop the titles they've been given because of thier color. Real smart people don't wrap their whole lives around thier color, or their sexuality. If you notice, gays make sure you know they're gay, while straight people don't make it a point to say anything. This is the same thing with the black/African titles and why blacks need to forget them.
I will agree that record labels and the music of our society has become a joke because of the dollar. I like real deal country music, but it's been forever since I've even considered listening to country radio. It's the same commercialized junk over and over, and killing all styles of music. If I were to follow Tim Mcgraw around and claim that's real country (like you're saying blacks are ghetto because the music says to be) I'd be fucken moron. Maybe we should just call them what they are.

Stop trying to blame the exploitation of blacks on whites and CORPORATE AMERICAN. You need to call the finance office of whatever school you take marketing at and ASK FOR A ------- REFUND. Black culture and black ideals are determined by...GET THIS...BLACKS!!! It's the ---- that almost every 20 to 30 year old black male or female covets that determines what the black culture revolves around these days. NOT what is important to the black's spiritually and morally like back in the early to mid 1900's, WHEN THE BLACKS WERE ACTUALLY GETTING SOMEWHERE. MLK and Malcom X were pioneers of their time who were working WITH THE WHITES to help further the rights and opportunities that were offered to their people. What and WHO? do they have today? Jesse Jackson, AL Sharpton, and the NAACP, ------s Across America Causing Problems. Stop blaming the failure of a MAJORITY of the blacks in this country on the whites and LARGE CORPORORATIONS(WTF?) for pressing a certain image and CULTURE upon BLACK AMERICA. African Americans have had 150 TO 200 YEARS TO GET THEIR ---- TOGETHER. STOP BLAMING THEIR FAILURE TO DO SO ON ANYONE OTHER THAN WHO IS REALLY RESPONSIBLE....THEMSELVES.... Liberal Yankees make me SICK!!
