After hearing some rap songs recently, I think I wan't to be a rapper too. I definitely have the talent.

Because they're often one in the same. This dude came from the projects, dabbled in pharmaceutical sales, caught a few cases, and then became a rapper. It's the prototypical "hood American dream". For the media to lift this dude up like he's some kind of martyr or social justice warrior is 1) false, and 2) detrimental to anyone who seeks to follow the same "career path".
Seems like your beef should be with the media. Respectfully, what is the depth of your experience of being in the black community, the hood, and black youth across the country that has made you an expert? I don’t get it. Not too long ago, you were riled up by a comment about grape soda that you considered to be racist. Yet, you come off the rails on this thread about even worse stereotypes.
Does someone share your account?
Btw, you won't hear me apologize often, so you may want to put that in your sigfile. ~Mergie
No criminal should be glorified for his crimes and sup to be admired. However, former criminals who have paid their debt to society, gotten out of prison and become useful and productive citizens should be touted as an example to be applauded.
And just how many movies does Robin Hood have?
Bryan Adams is a National Treasure.
As I asked in my previous post, where do you base your credibility as to how black people think and what they aspire to? Case in point, your comment about the hood American dream. I’m not sure how old you are, but it’s easy to see how many blacks have left the hood or never were in the hood. I don’t think that you’re a bad person and no where close to being a racist. All I’m trying to say is that your generalizations are pretty broad. Don’t get me wrong. I see some of them just like you. I’ve also seen the trailer park trash too and just chalk it all up to understanding that there will always be ignorant people in this world. Should I be all spun up because Honey Boo Boo’s family made millions?

I just read Wiki. He likes Peta also.. but at least he gave me a couple slow dances when I was younger.. that and Extreme's More Than Words..
You can call it whatever you want, but I have fond memories from the age of innocence.. and that's songs is in its soundtrack
It was a weird musical time.. I mean we were just getting over hair metal.
