| Imagin a world without white supremacy
Posted: 11/5/2007 4:16:02 PM | | White supremacy is a philosophy and as a philosophy yes it still is very much in tack today. The indiginous people sufferered even more than the Africans because the Africans sold our own people and this is part of the equation but the indiginous people saved the Europeans lives when they came to this country and shortly after they committed genocide on them. Africans do have so small amounts of power today . People who say that African people do not deserve reparations do not believe in justice except when it comes to the dominant culture which is a form of white supremacey. I do not believe that my people will ever get it and I also believe that this nation will fall or fail because of their injustice to the Indiginous and African people as well as anyone else that they could exploit. Being on this site as well as any other is sad because we don't deal with each other in equality. There is in my belief an ultimate judge that will ask those in power why they did what they did and they will not be able to lie. I do not believe in black supremecy in no way form or fashion but most people are cowards and instead of addressing the truth they want to just get along like Rodney King said. When the Europeans came to this land they said the indiginous people were inferiour and they still say that today this injustice only stays in place because of the masses of people who stay silent and silence in compliance. Just like the school bullie we call him what? The king of the school not if everyone stood united. The corporations run the world because of masses will not unite. White supremecy hurts the Europeans too, you could have poor White people in this country they could side with the rest of the oppressed people but they think know matter how bad things are "at least we are White" so when your mind becomes free and you look at the big picture this is not a black problem it is a people problem and it is the most powerful philosophy in the world today. Anything that Europe wants she feels is hers to take. People, land, oil,gold, diamonds you name it name ten countries that were not colonized by Europe. What did they call this place the 13 colonies. Truth is thruth and like I said if it were different people would look at it in a different why. Think for a minute about the question not reparations, what would the world be like without the philosophy of white supremecy? Don't be afraid of the bully your thoughts are your own peace. | |

Posted: 11/5/2007 4:55:59 PM | | Micheal Jackson is a great example of white supremecy if you understood him growing up could have the most beautiful women in the black community which growing up black meant alot in our community but as a result of white supremecy being one of the most known and successful poeple in the world meant little to him. I am not saying that white women are not beautiful because I find all groups of women from all over the world beautiful. Image any white superstar that doesn't find his own women beautiful. That would be like Elvis marrying a black woman. Africans sold their own people know doubt but not under the pretense that Europeans were superiorer to Africans, they were exchanged for goods and most were captives of war race did not play into the picture. If Europeans would have came under that pretense the story would be different. Study a survey of little black girls and dolls and 95% choose the white doll when asked why they said thw white doll is good and the black doll is bad. Most of you have done little if no research on the subject and therefore you are very defensive which does not help the conversation. MJ bleached his skin are removed his nose for a smaller one. Weaves and hair extensions are a direct result of an inferiority complex because as a man they in most cases do not enhance the women in any way. In the 70's black women wore Afros and said black in beautiful but you see it didn't last once again because of that philosophy, a white man wrote a book years ago called black like me you should see what he saw. This country could be great but it never will get past that mantality. Image if some of the great minds( white, black & other) would have always been free how far this world could be. I hope this is making you think. | |

Posted: 11/5/2007 5:09:56 PM | | I agree not all people feel this way and many white abolitionists helped black people during and after the slave trade. But htis nation was founded on these principles so the people who don't feel this way tend not to be in power. For instance America goes to other countries as the world leader and authority but she never went to South Africa why? As long as Europeans dominate others that is ok with her. When you look at whites who claim to be liberal they tend to be the biggest emenies to our poeple. What does white flight mean? When black people moved into a neighborhood whites would move out because they did not want their children growing up with black children. Look at the Jena 6 in Louisiana today. Laws can not change attitudes. I am thankful of the laws but people attitudes have not changed much. Ask most whites and they will say Jesus is white, that is white supremecy. | |

Posted: 11/5/2007 5:25:04 PM | | Once again the key issue is the philosophy, I liked your responce but once again most people do not understand the philosophy. There were many inventions that were created by the former slaves that never were credited to them as a result of slavery and if you look around the world Africans contributed to the world in great ways especially in this country. Africans fought in every war. After four hundred years to say to a person who has been totally dominated just go back home is foolish. What part of Africa would they go. Also Africa is in the Europeans control. That would be like saying to the Europeans go back to Europe. From 1880-1920 26 million European migrated to this country fleeing poverty and religous persections and many of thses are the first to say to Mexicans go back to your country and this is their country, some of it. History is deep and some people have not studied past what they needed to just past high school. In order to understand you have to think deeply what if it was you? That is too difficult for most poeple though. | |

Posted: 11/5/2007 5:30:28 PM | | you might be right but how did that come about? Not being equal in white churches from people whom they adopted the religion from. Imagin someone saying hey check out my religion but you could never be important in it in fact your people are cursed. Who you except this ? The majority of Africa-Americans had no choice and after so many generations it became exceptable. Never been a black Pope. | |

Posted: 11/5/2007 5:32:42 PM | Well I tend to get myself into these types of debates but I will add one thing before I go but whites saying Jesus is white is not white supremacy but Jesus was white.
There is a reprinting of a letter from Pontius Pilate to Tiberius Caesar describing the physical appearance of Jesus. Copies are in the Congressional Library in Washington, D.C.
"Another description of Jesus is found in "The Archko Volume" which contains official court documents from the days of Jesus. This information substantiates that He came from racial lines which had blue eyes and golden hair. "
I don't see how official court documents from that time and that people believe he is white is white supremacy.
I'll get into this subject, probably Friday or Saturday, don't have the energy cause I am going to point out that Africa was not living in some paradise plus many other things.
Have fun. | |

Posted: 11/6/2007 8:12:51 AM | MrBad_Kitty:
I thought MJ has a skin condition. Yes, he does. As does his sister Janet, she however covers it up with black makeup while he uses white, personal preference I suppose
Hmm, let me look at this from my point of view. My Polish ancestors were serfs living in Poland when that 1/2 came to America in the early 1900's. Serfs and peasants were treated as slaves so I wouldn't expect that have to pay for "reparations". The other half of my blood is Hispanic, 1/4 Apache and 1/4 Californian-Mexican. That side traces back to California back before America took it over from Mexico. I wouldn't expect that side to pay for "reparations" either.
While many blacks were taken out of their country and turned into slaves, my ancestors lost their entire country. If anyone is going to be receiving reparations stand in line with everyone who has been exploited. I agree. :)
soapyguy:
I disagree that slavery is in the past. Its changed its face to be more appealing but is alive and well the world over. Most civilizations greatest acheivments were built on the backs of the poor by those with power directing.
Slavery today is simply called minimum wage. It changed focus from race to class. When you apply for a full time position at wal-mart you get paperwork for government assitance, because even working full time you are below the federal poverty lines. I am in know way trying to say that there is equality in the US. White males still hold most of the money/power/corp officer/government positions. Stated when a woman and a black man are among the major covtenders for the presidency, shocking...
Oh, and by the way, Wal-Mart gives you no such paperwork, nor does any employer. And if you're applying for a full-time position at Wal-Mart to support a family, you might want to try applying for a PELL grant at the same time, to get out of Wal-Mart.
oldschoolamir:
I won't quote much of your comments because there's a lot I'd like to respond to here. I'll start out with one of your end comments, you will never see a black Pope because the Pope is in Vatacan City, Italy, not many blacks there. There are however black priests and ministers. If they choose not to be Catholic, which the Pope is the leader of the Catholic church, that's not the Catholic church's problem. (I'm not Catholic by the way, just stating that you have to be a bishop in the Catholic church to become the Pope.)
White supremacy is a philosophy A philosophy is an ideal. So, you're saying that because white leaders seem to have dominated mostly white countries then it's wrong? European countries are mostly white, in fact there is a much higher ratio of whites over there than there is in America. America is still mostly white, though there are an increasing number of other ethnicities and therefore an increasing number of senators and other political leaders that are of other ethnicities. In fact one of the current canidates for President is black. Many of the countries that are mostly blacks are still unable to compete in the world market. They are still undeveloped, undereducated and have poor economies. Many of these countries are getting aid from the more developed European, American and Asian countries. Once they become contenders in the power struggle of the more advanced countries I'm sure we'll see more black leaders rise to power.
Okay, to go back to some of your other posts, I'm guessing you were talking with someone and the other posts were deleted, anyways, to continue. Europeans didn't get black slaves cause they were black. They got labor and they just happened to be the blacks. Africa still has the most underdeveloped and poor countries in the world, even with other countries in Europe, Asia and America helping them out, might want to include that in there as well.
Another point on the subject of slavery that seems to have been misplaced over time, slaves were EXPENSIVE to have. They cost around $163.00 in 1722-29.. Keep in mind that though that might not sound like a lot today it was a lot back then.considering a pound of rice was 1.40 cents. A pound of rice today is about $1.00 maybe $1.50 depending on how you get it, taht would make a slave approximately $11,642.86 using the $1 price for rice. If you paid that much for farm equiptment you'd make sure it's well taken care of, yes? These owners also fed them, provided them with medical care and housing, and many even paid them a 'wage' as well that they could use to buy things with. I'm sure that abuse existed just like abuse exists today. Corporate America still has problems with people sleeping their way to the top or with people being mean and cruel to those they overee. Abusing a slave back then was like taking an expensive automobile and not taking care of it. Those people still exist, the trait still exists for afew that they don't take care of themselves or their things like they should.
I'm not saying that the slaves weren't people because they were, but this is to give you some perspective of what happened back then compaired to today's society. | |

Posted: 11/6/2007 8:36:42 AM | MJ has vitiligo, a skin condition - perhaps he chose to have that disease so he could fit in with white people better? 
oldschoolamir: Today if you were to ask most whites they would say we had nothing to do with the slave trade which is true but were is your sense of justice, what if it was your ancestors...
If anyone was held accountable for the actions of their ancestors they could be held in prison for innumerable life sentences. Do you think your ancestors have committed no horrible crimes?
oldschoolamir: Many black women today I would say over 50% are wearing hair weaves or some extension or wig as a result of self astream
I don't know what a self astream is but around here people pick their hairstyle by personal preference.
Tens of millions are spent on tanning products each year. White supremists trying to become more like the ones they frown down upon? And what about hockey - hardly any blacks playing hockey these days - must be white supremacy. And basketball...oops lets not talk about basketball. | |

Posted: 11/6/2007 1:19:06 PM | This is going to be a big post, bear with me here.
There seem to be some pretty intelligent people on this site and my favorite feature is the forum so I like subjects that stimulate conversation. This is touchy but everyone on this site is an adult so here goes. A friend of mine posed this question to me. Image looking at the world not through the eyes of White Supremacy. Read the definition of two adjectives in the dictionary before you respond, black & white. Many black women today I would say over 50% are wearing hair weaves or some extension or wig as a result of self astream. Micheal Jackson bleached himself white and these are a few examples of people feeling inferior whether people will admit it or not. Now I know that other woman who are not black are doing some of the same things to their hair including white woman however this is far from the point. Image if the roles were reversed and Black Supremacy was the order of the day and Europeans were enslaved, I know it is very difficult to imagin and that is why I posed this question. Try to put yourself in another persons shoes and ask yourselves what would you do and how would you feel. Would you say that Whites who were victims of the slave trade deserve some form of reparations. Today if you were to ask most whites they would say we had nothing to do with the slave trade which is true but were is your sense of justice, what if it was your ancestors I'm pretty sure your opinion would be different if you are honest.
First of all I’d like to state the obvious, though my ancestry had absolutely NOTHING to do with slavery, I am considered Caucasian or I can even be considered Hispanic with as much Cuban ancestry as I have (just see the pic, it speaks for itself).
With that said, I have just as much involvement in this type of thread as someone that had a great-great-grandfather slave-owner or a great-great-grandmother that was a slave herself. Why? Because NONE of us had jack to do with it. However for those that think that people should pay people reparations for slavery, think again, there was white slaves, just as there were black slaves. Hmm seeking reparation for the slave traders or for the slave owners buying the slaves here and upsetting the very appealing lifestyle your ancestry had in Africa? Think again. It is proven FACT that no slave trader stole or kidnapped anyone. Every slave moved from Africa to the USA/CSA was done so by means of purchasing the person from the family of the slave. Money, I mean, rum speaks louder than family I guess.
Lets get back to one important fact. No one today had anything to do with any of that. This is like you, your siblings, and your children all of the sudden being arrested or slapped with a $10,000,000.00 law suit because your mom or dad forgot to pay taxes, or robbed a bank. Each person in this country is responsible for themselves. Now for any of you to say I owe anyone anything just because I am white and having no ancestry of slavery in my background, that sounds a lot like Hitler’s thinking. Hmmm wait, I already have that attitude directed towards me by a lot of African-Americans.
Now lets get down to the legal aspect right quick. SOME of the Native-Americans in our great country were paid reparations for one reason only, and that is because the “COUNTRY” took their land and offered them absolutely no compensation in return. The “COUNTRY” moved them from their homelands and moved them to places where they had no control over. Likewise, the Africans moved from Africa were not moved by the “COUNTRY” instead they were actually moved by merchants of various countries, and sold at auctions. Again the “COUNTRY” was not in complete agreement and therefore it was never decided on. Thus, the Native Americans have RIGHTS to reparations from the COUNTRY whereas African-Americans do not. That’s the legal-for-idiots run down of it.
Now for the topic, what would I do if I was a minority? Well I can be considered as much, but as a Caucasian, I think I would show the new majority what it is like to be the supremacists by doing the same as I’m treated every day, the way my family, kids, and persons of the same race as I have been treated, I think I would start returning the favors. You know, every time 2 or more African-Americans assaulted a Caucasian I would scream “hate crime”, not to mention if I had an auto-accident, if the person hitting me was African-American, I would jump out and start screaming “racism”, and a lot of other things that have been done to me by African-Americans and things that still occur to myself and friends by African-Americans. I think I would always be employed, because every time I was turned down for an interview, job, or whatever else, I would again, cry "racism" to force them to hire me. If I was demoted, or made less money than any majority, I would again scream racism, and dare them to fire me, so I could scream racism again. Oh I'm just being extreme... No, I have personally witnessed these events happen before, I have either been a supervisor/employer or I have had relatives/friends involved in auto accidents that followed with a lawsuit of racism.
Do let me say, before my conscience gets the best of me, I have a couple of black friends. They understand 100% my opinion and standing in this topic, and are very good people, very far from racist or someone that I just described. However people that start topics and support topics such as this topic starter posted, you fit into this profile I have set forward perfectly. | |

Try to put yourself in another persons shoes and ask yourselves what would you do and how would you feel. Would you say that Whites who were victims of the slave trade deserve some form of reparations.
You tell me. Many whites were enslaved by Middle Eastern and North African pirates along the Barbary Coast of Africa. Do you believe white people should receive reparations?
Today if you were to ask most whites they would say we had nothing to do with the slave trade which is true but were is your sense of justice, what if it was your ancestors I'm pretty sure your opinion would be different if you are honest.
I refuse to accept punishment for things I didn't do. I refuse to accept sympathy for things I didn't personally endure. I'd say my sense of justice is just fine. | |

Posted: 11/7/2007 3:22:51 AM | | I have put myself on the opposite. About 3 months ago,I created a profile on a black dating site, and put my race down as black. Just to see what it was all about. There is more freedom of speech as being a black women. There are threads titles about white people being devils, Black people being Gods, should white people be allowed on a black dating site. None of these types of threads could be started anywhere if they were topics like black people are devils, white people are Gods, or should black people be allowed on this site. There are all sorts of racial names that blacks are saying about whites, not because of what they do, but because they are white. They dont want white racist people around but they don't white open minded people around either. Thats for most of them, not all. | |

Posted: 11/7/2007 8:05:58 AM | An interesting topic with an even more interesting dialect to follow. I am experienced in working with people from all different belief systems, values and histories. The fact that an African American man has brought up a topic like this in the context that he did and then, what's more, call for reparations to "stimulate conversation" is absurd. It perpetuates a can't do attitude among african americans and a lazy stereotype that our, American, culture has to dismantle for future generations. Obviously, there will be no reparations. We live in a country where you are free to control your own destiny. Yeah, there are factors beyond an individuals control that can block upward mobility...however in America you are also entitled to change and there are social programs that help individuals achieve the upward mobility on their own. That is more valuable than anything anyone could give to anyone else.
Everyone should be proud of who they are. Some of us take this concept to a larger than life level and it results in there being extrimists representing every ethnicity (to the detrement of American culture). My feeling is that Samuel Jackson was right in saying something to the effect of a racial devide exists because we create it. We do. Our media, schools, churches, entertainers, families, etc... create this devide by playing to it and it seems there is no solution except to live our lives peacefully in hope of a better tomorrow. | |

| Imagin a world without white supremacy
Posted: 11/7/2007 9:02:25 AM | Other interesting ideas for reparations:
-Get the money from the people who actually sold you(your ancestors) into slavery... .. . HA, yeah, good luck getting money from Africa. What? You didn't know that? Sorry, but the truth of slavery is that African warlords sold their own people to the white imperialists. Very few were actually kidnapped. Doesn't make it right, but be sure that you blame the right people.
-Go back. If you think that your life is so much worse here in America than it would be had you grown up in Africa, you're more than welcome to move to gree.. wait... dustier pastures. That's right. Although your ancestors suffered an injustice, and although as a whole, your race is currently "viewed" to have a disadvantage... Can you seriously sit here and claim that you would be better off in Africa?
So basically, this boils down to trying to blame SOMEONE, ANYONE for why your culture is not leading to overall prosperity/power. Surely it couldn't be the music that glorifies criminal activity... Surely it couldn't be that you place an emphasis on meaningless material things(such as rims/chains/jewelry) over things that matter (stocks/bonds/mutual funds)... even while poor. No, if you want change to come, stop blaming white America who has already bent over backwards for you(affirmative action!?) and start looking for change within your own culture. Do you throw money at homeless people? No, because you know most of them are going to squander it on alcohol/drugs/whatever vice they have that got them into their position in the first place. If you truly want to help the guy, you show him how to work, where to find work, and how to change himself.
Imagine a world without stupidity... That'd be a better topic.
(Again, I have nothing against blacks having equal opportunities/rights/whatever, but I am against racist idiocy.. and that's all reparations/whining about slavery 150 years later is.) | |

Posted: 11/7/2007 9:17:55 AM | OldSchool, sorry dude, but you kinda made me laugh at those lines about afros and hair weaves. I work retail and carried some costumes for halloween. A black lady asking me if we carried Afro wigs for a costume. Had to laugh. Sorry.
I am old enough to have had male friends in the 60's-70's who let their hair grow just so they could have white man afros and all of us straight hairs were perming. It was a 'look' then, just like piercing a nose is a 'look' now. Bell bottoms and minis are back my friend, not because we want to look like sailors or hookers.
This has absolutely nothing to do with what you truly wanted to say - and thankfully many caught on to what you were seriously writing about. I believe many have stated what I would have to say too; and that is, these slavery issues and white supremacy issues do not exist Today... except in the mind of someone who wants to use that as an excuse.
Did whites own 'slaves' because it was the fashionable way to have servants?
In many cases, I believe so. I believe many white farm owners 'bought' slaves because they needed a farm hand and that was the way things were done. Buying a slave was a rough connotation of 'hirement'. It was one in which the worker was given the promise of still getting to eat and have a roof over their head even if they were on maternity leave or sick and dying. We always think the worst: cracking whips. But that was not the norm.
The country was younger and needed able bodied assistance to grow. Had we enough persons to do labor work here surely we would not have gone looking to another country for farm hands.... we would have supported our own people.
Unless we were then, as we are now; too profit concious to hire our own local working class. Now we hire Mexicans.
I sincerely do not believe that white people in those days bought and worked 'slaves' just so they could keep up with the Jones or say, Hey look at me - I own a slave too!
BTW, if one believes any hired worker who also gets room and board is a 'slave', then I have been on the 'slave' side myself and have been on the hiring side of the fence as well. Bought and paid for.
Words and supposition can drive you crazy. | |

Posted: 11/7/2007 2:39:42 PM | I definitely disagree with the title because of its obvious implications., but I do understand the OP's sincerity.
Also, to those that are attacking him, read through the entire friggin' thread, you're attacking a guy and you haven't heard his entire stance, for christ's sake!
However, I think it's justifiable to an extent, simply because of the title of the thread; it is in itself a statement of racism.
Even if white supremacy didn't exist, it doesn't mean that Zionist Israel would be any different (sorry, white supremacy refers to white christians, not semitic jews or muslims) and it doesn't mean that anti-white sentiment wouldn't exist, either; racism is going to exist in all stripes and paths, and cultures and creeds.
Now, in the U.S., racism unfortunately exists in places that it shouldn't - affirmative action, race-based scholarships...these should not exist. And that's not even an ideal, it adds to problem because it creates an unjustified sense of entitlement - Oh, I'm whatever, so I deserve a scholarship and placement more than the poor white kid with 90's kind of thing.
I'm not saying that those kids on't have to work for it, but instead of having scholarships reserved exclusively for people of whatever race, there should be multiple scholarships available to the hardest workers, and nothing more or less than that.
Reparations seems to be something that the OP threw on the table to create controversy...it's something I strongly disagree with. Aside from teh legal examples given...I refuse to accept the sins of my forefathers when I'm not continuing that kind of legacy. Not my problem.
Thankfully I'm Canadian and IMO, if you're neither native nor a Japanese citizen that endured the internment camps in the 40's, you don't deserve a red goddamned cent. | |

Posted: 11/7/2007 3:12:13 PM | | oldschoolamir, how do you make so many post in a row. I cant do it if I have made 2 out of 10 of the last post. Tobe on topic, I have a question for anyone. And I dont mean any harm. The "N" word is how you say black in spanish. A lot of people from spain settled the south. Thats why slaves were called this name. I understand it is hurtful today to black people, but for me to be called a "cra--er ( a man told me its because white people"cracked a whip)or ho-ki(dont know where this expression comes from), being it is meant to be hurtful, it is not hurtful to me. Ok, My question is, Why is a slang word for black people affensive to black people, but slang word for white is not near as hurtful. I dont mean any harm, I just want to understand. Please dont anyone be offended because I know this is a sensitive question. I am ignorant, so I am only trying to change that. | |

europeans were enslaved, apparently blue eyed, blond haired boys were very popular with the arabs, black slaves got to the coast due to black on black wars, the europeans simply dealt with black slave traders on the coast :( | |

Posted: 11/7/2007 6:21:50 PM | Prejudism in any form disgusts me.... where I am from it is mostly toward the natives and it really bothers me... I will NOT tolerate it in ANY form in my presence...
Horrible things have been done by white people in an attempt to gain power over other races.. and they succeeded..
Or did they?
We are all essentially interconnected... hurting one race to exalt another is like cutting off your nose to spite your face ;)
I can imagine a world without prejudism... and I firmly believe that eliminating it in one's own corner is a profound step toward that goal :) | |

Posted: 11/8/2007 3:11:23 AM | | Strangly, I agree with sasyaguarius, In my life, there is hardly any prejudism. There was one incident with a white women that had sex with everyone she could. Black or white. Obviously, she is not rqcist against black people.On one of her encounters, when she was with 2 black men at the same time, one of the men video taped it. Later showed it to the male staff and patients at work. This women and the other man got very mad. The two men ended up almost getting into a fight on the job,all 3 were cussing and threatening. This women ended up calling this man a "N". After the incident got under control,the women was the only one fired for using that word. She took the hospital to court and got her job back, then quit.Let me add, she was the lazist employee I have ever seen.All she wanted to do was chase the men when the 2 black men were hard workers Maybe they were just using this incident as an excuse to get rid of her.either way, I dont miss her. | |

Posted: 11/9/2007 7:30:49 AM | OP you are so full of it.REparation is such a bad idea. Stop blaming the white man for all your problems, instead go get an education and go to work like the rest of us and stop demanding hand-outs. Remember, if you look at the worlds entire population the white man is the minority. Asians far outnumber any other race on this planet. I am so sick of hearing all this crap about reparation. There are so many programs offered by the goverment to be reEducated and trained. I tried to get into one of those computer training courses and was denied because I was'nt a visible minority. I had the director of human resources tell me that they pay for the seats and they are lucky if 20% of blacks even show up for the course. Meanwhile here I am, eager to learn and better myself and I am not allowed to sit in that class of paid seats from our tax dollars mainly because I am white. Talk about racism. There is opportunity out there for blacks to advance themselves but people like you keep sending out the message that they are owed something instead of instilling in them that they should better themselves by getting an education and working everyday to acheive their life goals.
Your opinion that whites should pay for this reparation is inane. I had nothing to do with slavery. If your great, great grandfather had committed a murder 200 years ago should you be the one sent to jail to carry out the sentence? You would have to answer "yes" to that if you still believe that I should pay today for something that had nothing to do with me or my great, great grand Parents 200 years ago. I do not think you understand the meaning of justice. You are just looking for yet another cash grab instead of encouraging black youth to drop the gangsta mentality and try to get an education. You are doing more harm than good. You need to get over it.
The real problem I see today is with the Gangsta rap. It encourages people to drop out of the school, sell drugs and pimp whores. Not to mention, carry guns and shoot people who look at them sideways .Thats what todays teens see as their role models. It is no longer doctors, astronaunts or fireman.
Stop with the poor excuses and be a man. Go to work like everyone else and get an education and stop blaming everyone else for your lack of drive. | |
