As a white-middle class teen who listens to gangsta rap, I think the problem is that too many black youth see rap as a lifestyle choice.  I see it as entertainment.  If I watch a violent movie or play a violent video game, should I go around killing people?  No, of course not.  Then, if I listen to gangsta rap, why should I go around shooting people and smacking women or selling drugs?  This is the problem that I see.  Music is entertainment, not a lifestyle.

Also remember that there are different types of hip-hop (Rap is what you do ). There are some artist who in the past have used it to send a positive message. So it is unfair to villanize the whole industry.

you rule

MSNBC just dropped Imus..

Personally, I think black people should receive no respect and no equality until they get their own people under control.

I guess it is hard for a racist... to comprehend black people are not their own-people! LOL

I see how that could have came off as racist (I'll go further on that later), but what I meant by it was that in every race, you have people that are at the forefront and are kind of like spokespeople or role models or like, I dunno, figure heads.  Now for certain races there are people that I, personally, automatically visualise when I think of them.  For instance when someone mentions the asian race I think of Bruce Lee, Jackie Chan, Dean Cain or Rob Schneider (yep, the last two are asian).  However, when I think of black people I think DMX, Tupac, Snoop Dogg, Richard Pryor, Eddie Murphy and yes, Paul Mooney (fag). 

Now can you see what I mean by that?  It's become popular for the louder voices in the black community to be racist or self degrading not to mention for the most part unintelligent (how many songs about spinnahs and slingin dope can you have?).

It is almost the same slip of the tongue.. Imus made on Sharpton's Radio show... when he feigned an apology and slipped in a "you people." LOL

For "you people" to be so sensitive about a phrase like "you people", you sure don't have a problem using it against white folks and calling each other nigga and nigger.  Besides, I don't see why anyone even gives a shit about Don Imus, he's a crusty ass radio jocky who's been on the air longer than most people have been alive.  His target audience is white males and frankly, I don't know why anyone but a white male would listen to him, frankly, I don't know why half the white males that listen to him, listen to him.  He isn't that funny to begin with.

P.S. This is not a Cougar bash, by suggesting he is racist, he basically is... to some degree... I applaud his honesty for openly rationalizing it.

I'm a racist.  So what?  I'd say 90% of the people in the U.S. are racist, its just that most are better than me at lying about it.

Hi my name is Cougar and I am an ignorant white person out of touch with reality.

Also the white man is totally being oppressed right now IMO

Hello Sanjaya.  You must be that person that diverts to petty flames when he can't formulate a logical reason or statement that reveals why he feels the way he does.

Also, you have no talent.

You're too close minded to understand the reasons anyway. My letters are better spent on petty flames that damage your internet ego.

........pretty much every white guy here (me included) has at least one black or other ethnic friend, so i'm not sure what your point is.

Because you have to go "LOOK LOOK! I HAVE AN ETHNIC FRIEND! THIS MEANS I CAN'T EVER POSSIBLY BE RACIST!"

Of course he can't be a friend of yours. He has to be a black friend.

Yeah because after I've spent almost 2 years on these forums, your going to accomplish that.

And what's wrong with demanding respect?

Respect is earned, not demanded.

According to many people in regards to this topic, respect is to be given without cause, because of who they are.

That goes for BOTH sides.

.........Do you have a point in all your talking or are you just angry at the world for some reason?
You've been on bf2s forums for barely 1 day and all you've done is post about racism.
I think someone needs a hug

W/E i'm not going down to your level of petty flaming. (btw, I.Q. 182)
