Intersting ideas posted so far. I just want to add the last of my 2 cents.
-Outside of the rappers and thugs, what other black celebrities do we have? Not too many that get the public eye and attention. Look on the other side of the fence, white America (I hate the term, but I can't think of another phrase) has a wide varitey of individuals from different to emulate. All blacks have to look up to is these pain in the ass rappers [Yes, I do realize I'm speaking pretty general and there are expections and I'm aware of that, this is just for discussion purposes]
-Still, like I said before, I really don't like think that (mainstream) hip hop is a cause of Black America's problems. Fine, they have this hip hop playing for the kids to listen to, what about the parents who should be montioring what their children are doing,who they are listening to, who they are EMULATING, because well frankly, that's their job. Shouldn't these parents be trying to show their children proper morals and values.
And just for the record, I personally have no interest in hip hop as a whole really. Always been a punk/metal/alterative person myself.
