Now where did I say that? I said I didn't agree with homosexuality. What they believe and how they act CONFLICTS with what I believe in. Yeah, thats homophobic...Thats ok, continue to call names, its obvious you have no substantive points to make.

But, in not being able to keep your "mouth shut", you demonstrate intolerance. The same intolerance that made our 7 jewels start Alpha. The same intolerance that started Kappa, and any other BGLO. No, it's not cool to promote "ghetto culture" to our children, but it's people like most of the people in this thread, that cannot push away the image of hoodies, white te shirts, crack slanging and such because "white people" constantly label it as black. They inadvertantly shove these ideas in the brains of children and make them think that it's ok to stay in the hood and not better themselves. And the fact that you called it Ghetto culture, is something right there.
Take for example, September 11. It's still all over the news. I cried when it happened. Yes, it was sad for america. What else was sad for America? Hurricane Katrina. I do not DO NOT agree with Kanye West. I think that was the dumbest thing he could have ever done, was to make himself look like an ass on TV. But I haven't seen any major stories about it since it happened. All these black people lost thier lives, thier homes, thier livelyhood, and it gets no airplay. But when it does, they only show the stupid black people. (yea, I said it) The people who wanna loot stores and get some pairs of Air Ones, the people with no power who wanna steal big screen TV's but when they show the white people stealing, they were stealing food. I know plenty of people who were looting from grocery stores so they could live, my ship being one of them, buit they never showed the black people doing that.
I say this to say, that African americans, just as homosexuals are still shown to the majority (white people) as being something that needs to be irradicated. And by continuously perpetuating these stereotypes, you continuously breed hatred, and bigotry, and intolerance.....
