I don't know what you're talking about regarding the black/white thing. It sounds like you're trying to portray me as some sort of racist/classist. Unfortunately, darling, you're not the first to make this completely banal attempt at attacking my credibility. There are a lot of things that white kids do that I don't consider very "white." Now, just because I don't really consider something very "white" does not mean I consider it to be a black thing. There is much that white kids have taken from popular black culture, but this is obviously not always the case. Just because something is urban, does not make it a black v. white issue. I only use the term "white" because it was brought up earlier by someone else. To relieve your fears about boat ownership, my family has a 21 foot triton bass boat, and my dad recently sold our Cobia to a family friend. However, I was unaware that activities such as fishing and golfing make you an elitist...
Also, I don't think you'll ever hear me or anyone with ideas similar to me saying things like all white people are members of a country club. I don't even have the desire that they be. I DO, however, prefer people who act and dress in a classy and adult manner. When I said "you people," I was referring to people on this thread who disagree with me and others with similar viewpoints. One thing you'll notice about southern people, is that often even the trends have purposes. We don't generally wear things because they're popular on E or MTV or BET, but rather because they're quality and serve a purpose. Costa Del Mar's are perhaps the best fishing and boating sunglasses on earth. Other things that southern kids enjoy would be brands like Patagonia that make high quality outdoor clothing. Sure, some people wear it because it is popular, but many of us wear it because it is intelligently designed and can stand up to wear. So when I compare "us" to "you people," I am noting a difference between what becomes popular in specific sections of society. Hell, even our rainbow sandals have a warranty. Now obviously other sections of the country enjoy similar items, but this argument is a product of the costa del mar/maui jim v. Chanel/Dior sunglasses debate. I'm not trying to draw attention to myself, I'm trying to keep the sun out of my eyes while checking out girls on campus...I mean, fishing.
