As for glorifying prostitution and going around calling each other pimps and hos, that I definitely do not understand.<br /><br />So many have worked so hard to eradicate and rise above the degradation of racism and sexism and make the world a kinder place for women and people of color that this kind of behavior seems like a blatant slap in the face to those who have gone before us.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24607242.post-50408437874267451692006-12-15T15:03:00.000-05:002006-12-15T15:03:00.000-05:00I agree; Snoop is pretty revolting.

I'm with you, but I disagree on it being "...Tasha,<br /><br />I'm with you, but I disagree on it being "our" culture.<br /><br />My culture is one of pride. My culture, our culture, is one of family reliance and love. Our culture is one of deep respect for nature and of love for our elders.<br /><br />That crap spewed by various rappers and others, who are in many ways blessed by the "Gatekeepers" of whom we spoke some time ago, isn't black culture... it is degenerate culture. The problem we have as a community, is that we let that line blur.<br /><br />Don't buy into it. <br /><br />Hold the line.<br /><br />Leslie & Grimm,<br /><br />I agree.<br /><br />We owe it to our grandparents.Gunfighterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05762432006297768871noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24607242.post-76648430352638639092006-12-15T11:28:00.000-05:002006-12-15T11:28:00.000-05:00Man, I know I may say this phrase too often for yo...Man, I know I may say this phrase too often for your posts, but I truly mean it every single time.<br /><br />Wonderful post.<br /><br />There are people in this world who I do not understand, and quite frankly have given up even trying to.

I couldn't agree more!<br /><br />What's really sickening to me are the kids I saw in high schools when I was working who thought this kind of image was cool and called themselves "pimps" and "hos." I don't think many of them really understood the connotation of those words, but I think that attitude and those labels are dangerous.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24607242.post-52232978664758238392006-12-15T08:00:00.000-05:002006-12-15T08:00:00.000-05:00He's hardly the worst of the bunch, especially in ...He's hardly the worst of the bunch, especially in the rap game. He's just the one making the most noise and the most money off of it. He has his own version of the "Girls Gone Wild" series and has an affinity for Dolomite, Don Magic Juan, etc. Absolutely disgusting, but there isn't much we can do anymore to escape it. I'm almost at the point of desensitization. I listen to the music, but don't really listen to the lyrics anymore because I know they're mostly misogynistic, bad rhyming garbage. *sigh*, our culture is degenerating too quicklyTashahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05841784678107146378noreply@blogger.com
