HummI find that funny that you would use EVERY single trait that the common young person does...[not stating that it only transpires in BLACK LATINO neighborhoods..but to your basic White suburb also]...as offensive. Are you also stating that the indivisuals using "ebonics" are LACKING in intelligence to carry a conversation AND/OR intelligent Speach [I.E WHITE SPEAK]..? I feel your outlook on what WE SAY or do or dress is nothing short of foolish.. Look at this..a Man with his son was walking down the street..the MAN was wearing some cutoffs..and his some was dressed in fashionable stature...latest gear..head to toe. The MAN's pants were hanging off his ASS WITH HIS BUTTCRACK SHOWING..his speach was FULL of "ebonics"[as YOU CALL IT]...And his hat was turned BACKWARDS... Guess what kind of car he got into? A SUV..TOP OF THE LINE...RANGE ROVER. The MAN was WHITER THAN SNOW and so was his son.. Was He a product of the GHETTO FABULOUS LIFESTYLE..? What aboutthe young sububanites who come into the city to buys the LASTEST fashions? the BLING..? Are THEY GHETTO FABULOUS,TOO..? I myself know PLENTY of folk who fit into your little box neatly..WALK THE WALK..TALK THE TALK..and are among the most decent people I know.. Ones you wouldn't see SPRAYPAINTING on a wall..or writng crap on a rail car... I believe you THINK YOU KNOW of what GHETTO CULTURE is all about..but like so many white folks..you are on the OUTSIDE looking in trying to understand something that you never will. Why..because you are a white person..NOT a child serveral generations removed from being slaves... Black people learned how to assimulate into this culture..and created our own..co opting a language that vexes and confuses the OTHER MAN..namely YOU. Trying to understand what you cannot..often leads to MISUNDERSTANDING..with BLACKS and Latino's..they had to MAKE DUDE with Social problems that developed here due to many doors of oppertunites being closed in the faces of the so called LOW CLASS..a lable that was PLACED on the people of color to DEHUMANISE them..and to make YOUR people feel better about the social injustices that YOUR people were doing to them... Now MY parents DID NOT give into the climate of the times..they got GOOD PAYING JOBS[A NYC TEACHER..and a NYCTA MOTORMAN]...and RASIED us well..with various cultural advents..such as visits to our home towns..or other outing to keep us CULTURAL FRESH...as well as various books dealing with Black history,and the like. I believe that your assesments are wrong out of ignorance..not out of Not understanding PEOPLE.. Given..Tagging WAS a product of Expression.during those time..like today...one that I found to be most destructive in content..just like todays young people are mostly misunderstood youths looking for someone to show them the RIGHT path.. People are the Products of their ENVIROMENTS...meaning you are what you allow yourself to become..whether BLACK OR WHITE. You can come from the depressed area and still make a life for yourself if YOU put in the effort. To Me..tagging was and IS stupid..and I AM an ARTIST..[I write/draw comics..and drive a bus!]..I NEVER considered Tagging to be part of Ghetto culture..or fashionable.. Ponder my words. |
