Video was funny but just makes us look more like a joke.

Yea I complain about the message the music some of us send out when it comes to our youth especially. Considering that is who they look at for guidance I find it sad that Wayne and Waka Flocka are the role models for most of our kids. And Nicki Minaj is the role model for young women. I hate it and I voice my displeasure for it. I don't do it music here because East-West will lock it and tell me to go to the music section, that I forget exists at times.

Real world c**nery
Muscial c**nery

All the same to me.

When I said differentiating from reality, I was speaking about myself personally. Some kids (and adults) listen to this music and can't understand that it is entertainment. I don't listen to the music and get inspired to do things that I hear. I often listen to it for a quick chuckle. But a lot of the stuff I listened to as a child that I want to relive. I try to listen to more positive rappers most of the time. But rap is hardly played on my IPOD.

And athletes acting like savages is something I always speak of. Check the sports section whenever someone is reportedly doing something foolish.

I gotcha, I misunderstood that part and I feel the same way. I'm an adult, I know it's just entertainment so I have no qualms about listening to it. But an impressionable kid, living in the hood without positive role models is another story.


Nicki Minaj FTL.....My Asian friend listened to the line where she said something along the lines of "I was a Geisha, and you were a samurai. You were speaking Thai but somehow I understood." Dude went on a rant about everything that is wrong with that statement.

And before anyone says, "Stop crying" I just want my people represented in a better light. Just sick of these shows and newscasts that go out of their way to find the WORST representatives of the black community. The same way Italian Americans feel about Jersey Shore's cast members, that is how many of us feel about our music and how we are represented on TV. It isn't fair man, but what can we do when we aren't the "Majority" player in America.

People have to stop watching the stuff but they don't and they won't. Praise ignorance, act ignorant, watch ignorance. Big cycle. It will never get better.

Well see I respect you because you're somewhat consistent on this issue. My iproblem is with people who bash this video as misrepresenting the black community when they have dipset in their avy. I suspect many black people would have a problem with this video because dude is gay. We've seen what being "hard" *pause* in the black community achieves.

Jersey Shore

. Son I'm not even Italian and sometimes I'm embarassed for them. Don't get me wrong, the show is entertaining but it's ignorance at its finest.

And why SHOULDN'T we take it serious. We can laugh, joke, and play about it cool. It was a funny video. But at what point do you say, "I don't like the way my race is routinely represented." Am I wrong for feeling a certain type a way about that? No. Not at all. And I should take it seriously because it isn't a joke.

But it is always easy to sit back and say someone else is taking things too seriously. That is what most people do, so I can't blame you man.

It isn't funny to me though.

Don't you think people that supposedly make these negative assumptions about black people from the little media that they see already have preconceived notions to look at black people in a negative light? Aren't they already a lost cause?

I just think there are more pressing issues than these type of viral videos. I really don't see anything that will come out of this.

This. There are bad apples in every group. I watch Jersey Shore with a grain of salt because I know Italian doctors, engineers and model citizens who don't act like that. It's still embarassing but I don't have any preconcieved notions about Italians so I don't judge them by it.


If anyone sees this video and projects this type of behavior (a behavior I honestly don't think is that harmful in the large scope of problems in the black community), they were probably prejudiced to begin with. We have a "black" President, you would think that would be enough to show another side of the black community but racist people do not care.
