Somebody PLEASE tell me when and why it became cool for suburbs white kids to...

[smallmovesal]

ebonics is actually structured like a language according to linguists who've studied it. according to the linguists it can't even be classed as a dialect. the sentences are actually structured like the language brought over by the slaves, among other influences. there was a really interesting article in discover magazine a couple of years ago about this. it really isn't illiteracy.

Fucking idiots.

Five of these backwards visor wearing idiots were next to me and a female friend of mine at a red light last night and when I glanced over the 3 in the back were staring at me.

So I pulled up and asked them what the problem was. The driver was stunned and he told me to just ignore the kids in the back. So then the passenger starts saying things. In my drunken state I tell him to "just listen to the kids in the back" but then corrected it to "just listen to your driver and shut your mouth."

I hear the wise asses in the back telling the driver to "race me"...well since I was driving my '01 IS300 and these wiggers were in a 1992 TBird, I laughed, let them get in front of me onto the single lane road ahead of me and then jumped in the wrong lane and sped in front of them and slammed on the brakes and stayed completely stopped for 5 minutes as I stared the driver down through my rearview. He was just glancing up and then looking down as he didn't want anything to do with me.

This is why I feel people who blast "Mudshovel" have a better chance in a fight then those of us who blast "Big Pimpin"...yes your "stamina be enough for pamela anderson lee" but I'll let you "feel my anger and my pain"

Then I made a slow left giving them the option to follow but they declined. Oh well.

I'm 20 you backwards visor wearing dirtbag.

Everyone needs something to associate with and for some rich white kids, it's rap music.

We've cornered one of the visor boys... Captain Awesome, come out with your hands up!!!

I'm 20 you backwards visor wearing dirtbag.

Just kidding, but I'm part of the younger generation and I think they're a bunch of idiots. I kind of feel sorry for them. I mean, for a guy who'se not huge, you can't just go against the mainstream or what everyone around you is doing. You can. But not without being ostracized.

that is something lifting has given me. more confidence in myself to find what I really want and like in life, and to express myself and my opinions freely. I don't go out of my way to make fun of them, but I find them funny to watch. i try to be accepting of other people but what the hell. they drive honda civics that sound like small motorboats.

stray dogg, I see where you're coming from. but I also noticed how you used the term "hella" in your reply

And you're right. That stereotype is wrong (even though I'm winding up for some sarcasm). "Gang memberz" are predominantly asian.

Just "playing"

Later, I gotta "dip"




The illiteracy stereotype is an unfair one. The small amount of gang members are also not cause for that cultural stereotype. It's the case of a few people who are in gangs being involved in a lot of activity which is then falsely assocaited with their good neighbors.

itz no different from nerdz that pick up a weight, get big and automatically think theyre a
badass..........

Beautiful. Did you know me when I was younger ?

So GLP you wanna reeeeallly know why?

it all started 20 years ago with a cable channel called MTV.

if MTV wasn't around today, and about say 7-8 years ago or so, to glorify rap and r&b to the young teens that eat up anything they see on MTV with a shovel, we wouldn't have this problem.

if you find my thread I posted the other day about me watching and reviewing videos at 2 am for about 2 1/2 hours, you'll see that 90% of it is rap and r&b songs, with overall content portaining to black american culture.

This is why kids act that way. This is what MTV, the sculptors of the teens across the world, glorify today to be cool. If MTV started playing disco music constanlty, guess what the kids would be listening to and dressing like, and slinging the lingo like...

There's 2 solutions to the whole ordeal, either take down MTV, or teach kids to be their own person and stop being brainwashed by the mega media to think they have to buy into the whole scene they attempt to shove down their throats.

And that's really the bottom line.

It's a disgrace to see these suburban kids walk around like they do. Grabbing on their balls every 10 seconds, upside down backward visors, pants to their ankles, XS wife beater hanging on for dear life off of their chests, or lack-there-of, tucked into the boxers, can see their abs and think they're built, pick fights with anyone, just for the hell of it, drive around in shitty rice burners with a system that is worth more than the car itself, and claim to be "thug life" when they've never visited the city, let alone lived in one.

Take these assholes away from the pack and they're pussies. They say all that shit, act tough, and proceed to have the shit stomped out of them, or if arrested for drinking in the woods, then they'll cry and sell out everyone.

I went through that stage about 8 years ago, and now that I look back on it, it makes me sick to my stomach. I wore baggy ass pants halfway down my ass, spoke ebonics, all that shit. Why did I? I have no freakin clue! Just a teenager trying to fit in I guess.

I still listen to rap (along with many other styles of music), but now I'm my own person, I've learned who I am and am no longer influenced by the media, or what "everyone else is doing". So hopefully as all these kids that are doing this crap now get older, the same thing will happen to them.
