PrintableHuggiebear said: SCNDLS said: I just did a search of some of your posts and for someone living in New Zealand you seem to love throwing the word ghetto around, referring to a ghetto lifestyle, and criticizing black/urban culture. Have you ever been to an American ghetto to intelligently determine what living in the ghetto is really like??? If not, it's crazy that you're sitting around watching hip hop videos and assuming that's a ghetto lifestyle whatever the fuck that is.
Here are a few examples of threads YOU have started recently: http://prince.org/msg/8/321381 Trap rap should be banned (You came up with this after watching a single video and proceeded to make a bunch of wrong conclusions) http://prince.org/msg/8/313621 What is the most offensive rap song or rapper of all time Your comment on this thread: "Those big lipped muthafuckas are always ugly, same for Jay Z and Biz Markie, now they are ugly" http://prince.org/msg/8/322457?&pg=5 Oddly enough, I can't find all of your ghetton names threads which I found last month and posted when you created your last "ghetto names" thread.
I can't believe you're a teacher cuz I would expect a lil more sensitivity on your part regarding kids' names but apparently they're ghetto to you. What is the most ghetto name you have heard http://prince.org/msg/100/309120 This ain't some fleeting shit. [Edited 11/19/09 13:53pm] My guess is you are trying to pin the label RACIST on me  , because I take exception to stupid names, rap music and I mentioned someone having big lips, God I must be a new Nazi Considering I grew up in a low income ghetto (They exist outside of America you know, the term is actually a Venetian term referring to where the Jews were sequestered in Medieval European cities, it only got attached to America in the 20th century. I also have big lips myself and my term about "Biglipped Muthafuckas" comes from the fact they are not exactly attractive looking guys. I used swearwords a lot as its part of my upbringing and I drop my academic pretences at home, you obviously omitted to read the parts in my threads where I did like rap music years ago. I even defended Snoop Doggy Dogg, but unlike you I have outgrown this rubbish and have learnt how this music is wrecking our communities.
As for calling me ignorant and alluding me to being a racist I have already referred you to the mods. Don't call me ignorant and say I don't know what a ghetto is, I grew up in one, maybe you might want to read about a place called South Auckland.   So now you wanna give me your "hood" cred??? Is that supposed to excuse or explain your odd fascination with American "ghetto lifestyles" that rappers supposedly promote???
All that is really irrelevant as far as your posts are concerned. You specifically target supposedly "ghetto" African-Americans which by your post tells me you know NOTHING about except what you've SEEN in rap videos because everybody knows that's an accurate representation of REAL people. All this in depth knowledge has led you to make incorrect assumptions about a whole group of people.  [Edited 11/20/09 7:40am] | |

Let's keep this thread on track rather than getting into personal banter coz it's ruining the topic for discussion which could result in the

BETJ transition to Centric showed that they've had more creative videos in their possession and chose not to show them. It has created the impression that your videos has to fit in this 'pimped out, bottle popping, booty shaking' mold to get airplay. Even credible artists such as Beyonce are making booty videos. When she started out with Destinys Child they were covered up respectably. They started wearing less and less then when she went solo the progression continued till she just wearing leotards and heels in almost every video and front paging her ass over her vocal ability.
heres a song that mentions exactly what you said
