so... I don't honestly care if mexicans wanna come in and join the workforce legitimately, I just hate the gang bangers and drug dealers and gun runners that work out of mexico too.

Like it or not, there is definately an unfavorable element that comes in under that carpet. Unfortunately, it would be 2 faced of me to not recognize that there are legal residents here that also support that unfavorable image of "thug life" regardless of nationality.


I think what I'm really trying to say is, I don't care if they're mexican, I just hate the media's adoption of hip hop culture as something favorable, where the artist do nothing but bitch about how crappy and hard thier lil thuggin lives were and how people died and all that noise, yet people try to downgrade thier quality of life and adopt it as a cultural influence straight out of thier middle class suburb into the ghetto. I honestly hope those people are the ones who wind up getting shot for voluntary retardation.

infamatory? maybe, off topic? it may be a tangent, but honestly, Its more of a problem now than it was 30 years ago because of the gang element, dont kid yourself. The only reason the gang element continues to rise is because of the media portrayal in hip hop culture/music videos. "bling blinging straight thuggin etc etc"

I live in north idaho and there seriously whiter than white kids who act like this. I'd beat the eyeballs out of my children if I had any if they started acting like that.
