Cultures & Groups - 7 July 2006

why is it that throughout american history black people have created a certain pop culture (music, style, fashion, lingo dance...etc..) in our society and were hated and banned at first for their creativity but when white people finally find out, they exploit it and try to copy and market it?

since the days of elvis (who, by the way stole his singing and dancing styles from poor, old black blues singers who created it and never got paid or respect)...and now elvis is considered the king of rock & roll.

now it's a hip hop world.

back in the 70's when hip hop started, white people were saying "turn off that disco". or that "ni**er" music...just like back in the 50's

now you get little white kids dressing, walking, dancing, and talking like so called "ni**ers.

....some even calling themselves "ni**a" but not knowing one single black person.....lol

twice i heard guys who were from europe say that
they wish they were born in the hood..lol

by the way, im not racist

well, i'm south asian,(filipino, thai, cambodian, and singaporian). Right now i'm going out w/ this black guy. i really like him, but i didn't tell my mom cuz she would flip. and also when mi and my boy are out in public, ppl give us these wierd glances, it's sooooo annoying, i said to this white gurl,"wat the **** r u glaring at?". is it abnormal for a south asian gurl to go out w/ a black guy???

i really wanna tell my mom about us, but my mom would flip the minute she sees him. i mean he is fine and everything, but he talks and dresses different from what my mom likes. So she will think he is going to rape me just cuz he is african. But we have a lot in common, not the greates things, but still...

yea, i kno a black guy w/ a south asian gurl isn't wat u see everyday i guess. But when i went back to NYC i saw asian gurls w/ black guys, i don't think they were south asian tho, but still...it's not li

This is re-http://answers.yahoo.com/question/?qid=20060706105257AAmt2xY
I thank they are brainwashed by the evil to help keep the idea that blacks are different then whites alive. If 2 black men one from nashville, one from L.A and 2 white men from the same towns are in the same room, who has the most in common?

I'm from MA, and even though gay marriage is legal, Gov. Romney and religious groups (especially catholic priests) are trying to get it banned again. I'm not gay, but I am all for gay marriage. It doesn't do anything to undermine religion, other than make some people uncomfortable. Is it really worth toying with and ruining peoples' lives just to ease some of your discomfort? And marriage can't be made sacred by some higher force, marriage is made sacred by the mutual love of two people.
Note: I know that not all religious folks are against gay marriage.

just wondering. some animals that some vegetarians choose not to eat , eat and survive off of some of the plants vegetarians do eat. i'll use this example. the classic cartoon "tom and jerry" the cat chases the mouse that feeds off of the cheese. but what if tom decided he was no longer going to eat mice, now he only ate dairy, specifically cheese which is also what the mouse eats. so now(ignore the fact that jerry is smarter than tom,lol) the mouse dies because the cat eats up all the cheese. do you see my point? i'm not some vegetarian hater, I just don't understand and would like some insight on why some vegetarians choose to only eat plant based foods when plants are just as alive as animals.
