GiggyZ..you are my "adopted" line sister!!! I was about to post this same thing. I had this Thug Life that our youth is glamourizing. I hate the Thug Songs, etc. One song by a guy whose names eludes me, called JUST IN CASE. It talks about him wanting to make love to his woman JUST IN CASE he does not make it home tonite. The video depicts him slanging drugs and running from the police, and just being a thug. Why not have this man go to work for his family, and he may not make it home due to a car accident or something other type of accident. Why does he have to be a Thug in the street.
Also, why are our young women embraces this "THUG GIRLFRIEND" lifestyle? They are always naked ( Foxybrown, Lil Kim, Destinys Child, etc). I feel the youth is lost, and its scary because they will be running the country some day.
Also,...sorry for venting sorors. We at times shoot ourselves in the foot with this also. Toyota was accused of racism due to their ad with a black man with a gold tooth in the shape of a car. Well, I hate to say it, but what type of image do they see in the media..GOLD TEETH. Every other rapper has one. On that note, I went to the dentist one day, and as I walked to the door, there was a sign on the door. I was thinking are they closed? But, they had a 8x11 piece of paper that said..WE HAVE NO MORE GOLD TEETH!!! I was totally outdone.
