This is a very interesting topic. I must agree with Blackwatch.

It makes me cringe every time I see I a group of white students on campus riding to the lyrics of "N____ this", and "N_____ that."
*Then we get mad when they want to sing the lyrics too.

It disturbs me everytime I see a group of our "fair skinned counterparts" sitting around listening to a song by one of our "cousins" that talks about "how many *&^%s I can get to do this or that for/to me", or "how much bling bling I can fit on my wrist, around my neck, in my mouth, on my car."
*Then we get mad when they make up all kinds of stereotypes about us.

And it hurts my heart when I talk to our young people and realize that their priorities are on sex, money, and material possesions.
*But we continue to fill their heads with the same non-sense. And promote it ourselves by buying it.


I believe that it is time for us to stop, take a look at ourselves, and grab a hold of this generation, before the "world" does. Let us not forget the honor, pride, and integrity of the African American.
