"Black youths are under a spell of ganster mentality preventing them from becoming leaders and making a positive impact"

And yet no one will ever change the gangster mentality until the rappers change it, because they're all too stupid to think for themselves and the kids never get a chance at a better life.

"Nobody broke in my house in Brooklyn and dragged me out the projects and made me a leader, I wanted to do that."

HAHA He can't even talk right. Go help yourselves be respectable.

I have to agree for the whole part! The term Oreo and Potato exist for a reason. The Reverend knows this mentality has permeated most every black houshold and the kids all look at Colin Powell and Condie Rice types as sell-outs, not role-models.

Ludacris and Maurice Clarett should not be role-models.

What the....???

Is he actually saying something reasonable?

However I don't like him blaming the record company for the choices people make, I do agree that the mentality of "if you succeed, educate yourself, go to college and earn a living before having babies - you are an uncle tom/sellout" is extremely detrimental.

People get called out on this but it doesn't matter. Calling them out on this is just ignored. The kids just aren't listening.

 
Move along, people. Just more idiotic comments from Rev. Dumbass. I wish just for ONCE he'd admit that the black community propogates (sp?) this image itself instead of blaming it on someone else.

I think we've allowed a whole generation of young people to feel that if they're focused, they're not black enough. If they speak well and act well, they're acting white, and there's nothing more racist than that.

Right - because white people are the ones pushing this and making it "racist". :roll:

 
Yo I be from the hood and it ain't cuz of the gangsta mentality, it's because of the lack of options we po' folks have. Bad school system, bad neighborhood, and of course bad influences. I can't study with all these gunshots at night. I'm all thugged out, not because of the rap music (cuz i listen to mozart homie) it's because of the lack of funds/opportunity. I want to be a genius but I gotta look over my shoulder every second so survival comes first. We don't gotz the money to move to another place, to go to a better school, to get a better edumcation. I'm at the library typin' this ish up and there's a kid getting robbed behind me. I'm next! laterz homiez!

Only black people can say negative things about black people.
White people aren't allowed to because it's offensive.
But anyone can say negative things about white people.
 
I've yet to hear a black rap artist talk normally without saying the phrase "ya know what I'm sayin'" over and over and over. Note to black rap-artist wannabees'. the do-rags and straight brimmed baseball caps (tilted slightly to one side) are sooooo 10 years ago.
 
ya i think its extreme funny how black people use the n-bomb to desrcibe anything and everything and if white people say it once they get threatend/beaten up

I said this same idea once a year or two ago and people said I was a racist. Guess it takes someone from the home field to tell the truth.

I mean, really? Who is going to hire someone with a gold grille, had thier pants around their knees, and walks around moving thier arms in and out. People associate that look with someone that's going to rob them.
