Is It A Fad Today To Be Black ?

Hip Hop Has Had Such An Influence On Surbubia. That It Has White/Latino Kids Thinking Its Cool To Be Black ?

Ive Noticed That The More A (Non-Colored) Child Listens To Hip Hop . The More & More Black They Try To Act.

This Webiste (305hiphop) Is A Perfect Example of Being Cool To Act Black . Just Look At All The Photos of (Non-Colored) Artists. They Are All Trying To Act Black.

When A Black Man Loves his Race, "Its Called Pride"
When I White Men Loves his Race , "He's Called Racist"

When I Black Man Talks Bad Or Makes Fun Of Another Race "Its Funny & Ok"
When I White Man Talks Bad Or Makes Fun Of Another Race "Its Bad & Hatred"

I'm white...I love my race. It's called PRIDE.
YOU are racist...not all white people who are proud to be white.

When a black man makes fun of another race: It's prejudice.
When a white man makes fun of another race: It's prejudice.

People like you i feel really bad for...because your point of view and your argument is not based in reason. Like the thinking of "preserving our race"..we are the dominant race in America already...why are you scared? If you moved to North Africa...you too would be a minority. Whats the problem here..it's called "Reasoning".

And just the ignorance of you coming on a Hip Hop site to spread your message of "White Pride"..shows your instigating nature..Do you think a Black Panther would be on KKK's message forum spreading "Black Pride"? Is that not instigating?

Be honest...your a coward...because if you believed in your message we would know who you are..most of my dawgs would call you a cracker to your face...i doubt you would reciprocate the same by calling them niggers. Don't you have some pussy somewhere...go make some white babies or sumthin'...hurry...before the blacks over=populate and take over. I wonder if they'll enslave us for a couple hundred years? 8O

At the heart of racism is the religious assertion that God made a creative mistake when He brought some people into being. Friedrich Otto Hertz

I look at an ant and I see myself: a native South African, endowed by nature with a strength much greater than my size so I might cope with the weight of a racism that crushes my spirit. Miyomoto Musashi

Racism is man’s gravest threat to man - the maximum of hatred for a minimum of reason. Abraham Heschel

In today’s climate in our country, which is sickened with the pollution of pollution, threatened with the prominence of AIDS, riddled with burgeoning racism, rife with growing huddles of homeless, we need art and we need art in all forms.

Violence as a way of achieving racial justice is both impractical and immoral. It is impractical because it is a descending spiral ending in destruction for all.

Violence is immoral because it thrives on hatred rather than love. Martin Luther King, Jr.

Richard Berendzen American University Professor

It is from numberless diverse acts of courage and belief that human history is shaped. Each time a man stands up for an ideal, or acts to improve the lot of others, or strikes out against injustice, he sends forth a tiny ripple of hope, and crossing each other from a million different centers of energy and daring, those ripples build a current that can sweep down the mightiest walls of oppression and resistance.

To know what is right and not to do it is the worst cowardice. Confucius

The longer we listen to one another - with real attention - the more commonality we will find in all our lives. That is, if we are careful to exchange with one another life stories and not simply opinions. Barbara Deming

You cannot shake hands with a clenched fist. Indira Gandhi

It belongs to the very substance of nonviolence never to destroy or damage another person's feeling of self worth, even an opponent's. Bernard Haring

I think you should defend to the death their right to march, and then go down and meet them with baseball bats. ~Woody Allen, on the Ku Klux Klan

The conquest of the earth, which mostly means the taking it away from those who have a different complexion or slightly flatter noses than ourselves, is not a pretty thing when you look into it. ~Joseph Conrad, Heart of Darkness

Jim Bakker spells his name with 2 k's because 3 would be too obvious. ~Bill Maher

Re: Why Is It Cool To Be Black ?

I hate to open up this new horizon for you...but Rock and Roll is not White music either. So rock groups like "AeroSmith".."Guns and Roses"..acts like BRUCE SPRINGSTEEN ..Phil Collins..etc. They are all "acting black". Blues=Black ..Modern Jazz=Black ..Black people have historically made some pretty good genres huh?

And Country music is an adaptation of Mexican Folk music.

Actually...the only music that is WHITE in this country is Big-Band, maybe Bluegrass, and Heavy Metal.

There is no acting black..People are people.

You move to England for long enough...you start acting and talking English. YOU sound like YOU are uncomfortable in YOUR skin. Stop wondering why people act the way they do...and start using that mental energy on asking yourself why you THINK the way you do..what? Is YOUR mentality Original? Or did you pick it up?
