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."

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.

I feel the same way. These recording artists and their record labels are "entertaining" the masses at our expense and yet our young people are either too blind or too stupid to realize the damage it is causing.
