SO to assume that that kind of lifestyle is a black stereotype is actually an insult to me. Who decided that that kind of stuf is a black people thing? There are white people that drink and belong to gangs and like to wear big jewelry as wel. I think we in our communtiy have convinced ourselves that that kind of behavior is only done by black people which is not the case at all.

When will the time come in America when westop looking at things at being a black thing or a white theng and start loking at things being an American thing? Come on, its the 21st Century for goodness sake.
I kind of like this post. I think both black and white communities should stop glorifying that culture. I think its probably a more widespread problem in the black community, but plenty of white people foster it as well.

That is one of the most intelligent posts I have ever seen from you. Now, I can start drinking my favorite beer again.
