No, my analogy was spot on. Reactionaries and social Conservatives made the exact same complaints about the style of The Beatles fifty years ago.Your analogy was stupid. If you are over 12 you should have known. And you didn't answer the question.How old are you? If you're less than 30, you have no societal, cultural or historical context to draw upon.
I know. I was there. Were you?
So anyone can act and dress anyway they want?. God you're a fucking moron."Pull up your pants and behave!"
That you and most others on the right have an unwarranted fear of diversity and dissent does not justify the inherent racism of this, nor the blanket criticism of the African-American community overall, where your post fails as a hasty generalization fallacy.
Conservatives are for the most part authoritarian, those on the right subscribing to this thread is evidence of that; conservatives disdain expressions of individual liberty, and they tend to attack that which they fear don't understand.
The problem, therefore, is not how someone might dress or act, but how most on the right tend to respond to that diversity with fear and contempt.
I have met guys who have, but they still keep their pants up and can control their erections.
If you had a ten inch black dick, you'd probably dress in a more revealing way too.
Just a thought
From my perspective, it's best to be colorblind and take issue with crappy behavior itself. Anyone who wears their pants below their crack is a moron, for example. If you behave ignorantly, regardless of your skin color, no one is going to respect you. I think one of the worst insults must be when certain black people get accused of "acting white" simply because they're trying to better themselves. "Acting white/black" shouldn't even be a thing. People in general should simply behave, respect one another, and be civil.
If you were black and grew up poor listening to people referring to people you love like your mom as a welfare queen, would you respect them?
Sounds like you do wear shit stain briefs on your head.So the White folks are bitching about the popular culture in the Black community.
I suppose those angry White folks would be happy if the Black youth did not engage in their own culture, but adopted the White culture instead. The Black youth would be served best if the White folks shut up, of course. But then again, the White folks would rationalize that the Black youth should comply or risk being shot.
Is that all you have to contribute? It's so sad.Sounds like you do wear shit stain briefs on your head.So the White folks are bitching about the popular culture in the Black community.

Says the man with nothing but insults to offer.Is that all you have to contribute? It's so sad.

And yet another well written post by Boss. Thank you.We have a problem with our society and culture. And I am speaking specifically to the black community in America. Yeah, I am a lighter-skin Creole/Samoan black, but when you live in Alabama you are a black man. I know there are redneck racists out there, I've seen them my entire life. As time passes, they become more and more irrelevant and a bigger example of sheer ignorance. Black people have come a long way in my lifetime.
The "problem" is not some seething underlying racism or racist view of white folk... that's a paranoid fear. We live in an integrated society, our kids play ball together, go to dances together, develop life-long friendships through it. We live in the same neighborhoods, work side-by-side together, conduct business and commerce with each other. Never in black/white history has overt prejudice and bigotry been at such an all-time low.
If you remove white adults over age 60, you find a sharp decline in the perceptions of white people toward black people. This is because they all grew up in an integrated post-1965 world and this experience changed their perceptions from previous generations. So we are seeing, as time passes, so do the behaviors and prejudices of the past. This is not the problem.
The problem is an inner-cultural black community problem and no one wants to talk about it. We have generational parental neglect, and almost a 'codependency' thing happening with those parent-child relationships which very often don't include a father. Girls are raised to be welfare baby mills and boys are raised to be thugs. Rap music glorifies it and pop culture embraces it as being "cool" to be "gansta!"
What someone needs to say to young black males is... Pull up your pants and behave! If you want to be a man and have the respect of a man, do the things a responsible man does. If you father a child, be a man, do what a man should do, be a father to that child. Take care of your family like a man, stop being a punk. Stop using white folk to excuse your childish behavior and take responsibility like a man.
Btw, is important to you that you are light skinned? Just asking because you went out of your way to tell us.We have a problem with our society and culture.

I don't care what color your skin is. You are one of my favorite people here at USMB.Btw, is important to you that you are light skinned? Just asking because you went out of your way to tell us.
Just to emphasize I am not white. I am actually very multi-racial but that wasn't very cool growing up in the rural south. The reason I mention it is because I feel inclined to do so in light of the topic. Society may have viewed me growing up as a black guy, but I just thought of myself as a guy. I've just never allowed my ethnicity to become a 'barrier' for me. I know plenty of black guys who have.
You see, the thing is, this is an inner-cultural thing I'm talking about here. Not all blacks fit the liberal stereotypes and generalizations. Some black men are raising their families, taking care of their kids, taking care of business. Some black men know to pull their drawers up and behave.

In reality you are saying not all black people fit into the conservative stereotype. And yes, it is the cons that are always claiming how bad black people are. You've just done it yourself.Btw, is important to you that you are light skinned? Just asking because you went out of your way to tell us.
