this movie is our current reality ...so sad

I couldn't agree with you more on that. Also, don't fool yourself, this is not only an American problem. This trend is degenerating societies on a global level. Of course, this seems to be more of a social problem in America as far as numbers go.

The problem is that it is catch 22 situation. The voices speaking out against this ridiculous social behavior are that of authoritarian figures in society which of course our youth will rebel against. Yet, at the same time these same very figures (predominantly aristocrats of the "baby boomer" generation) are the same people who are behind these same businesses which markets what they call this "urban" culture to the mainstream youth.

Now, for some reason so many people in this country are scratching their heads over this. Well, to break it down it's quite simple. We have, in one voice, these people I mentioned warning to our youth that embracing this lifestyle will get you nowhere AND in another voice we have these same people behind the scenes marketing this same lifestyle by flashing these millionaire simpletons on MTV; Staring them in mainstream movies; playing the cliche music all over the radio, etc. I might mention this top 1% of rap "artists" and other marketing figures, mostly, have never contributed a single positive thing to society nor done a single thing to warrant such wealth. They are mere puppets selling this lifestyle in their clownish fashion, horrible music and disgraceful behavior which undermines and outright abuses women and promotes drug abuse, violence and various other forms of corruption. I could care less how some choose to defend it. This is the type of thing that is dragging our society down the drain. I do not wonder why we live in what is currently the fattest and dumbest country on this planet.

what a dumb thread. it seems like most of you didnt even realize the whole point of the movie

if white kids want to dress and talk a certain way it doesn't mean they wish they were black, there just influenced by the music they listen to or whatever else. i think its stupid for people to think that only black people can enjoy hip hop music. if a black dude wants to wear a suit ad tie and read books (or whatever white people do/wear) does that mean he wishes he was white?

I like to kick a pig every once in a while.

note: not an angry or nagging tone, just regular conversational tone.


It is not so much hip-hop that is the problem, it is what is being put out in the name of hip-hop. a lot of the quality stuff never makes it mainstream because many of the music companies do not find it marketable to the targeted market.

I am not making a generalization of all males, I am just speaking about the group that fails into this targeted market/ look at it realistically. \

What kind of music, movies, video games, etc are more appealing to young males black, white, Chinese, Martian... whatever? It certainly isn't brittney spears, the sisterhood of the traveling pants, Barbie’s fashion show the PC edition. It is shoot 'em up action, thrillers, rap, nu-metal, whatever i'm not going to give a laundry list because i know will figure out where i am going.

if it isn't snoop, dre, 50, the game, jim jones (see there i go with the lists), WHOEVER, it would be something else. Every generation has some fad, craze, whatever that is thought to be "ruining" our youth. In another 25 30 years, we'll probably see all of them doing some sort of PBS oldies revival.

I personally don't care if white people listen to hip-hop and copy the style as long as they realize that it is only one aspect of black culture. hell I am not particularly a fan of the newer aspects hip-hop that comes of materialistic, womanizing, and pompous and I am African American. My preferences aren’t limited to one style of music.

blame white people. you made us like this when you denied us our civil rights after slavery. all that jim crow bs and racism.

now its a problem when we influence the white yotes. yeah i said it. (youths)

you get better, we get better.

we never wanted to be friends, we only wanted a chance.

some of us have a chance now, but not all.

its a big mess that might take 100 more years to clean up, but it starts with you. and me. and he who is reading this now.

we dont have to love each other, just live in the same country and not mess with each other. its that simple.

sorry to be so blunt.

i saw this flick a few years ago and as i'm watching right now as it was randomly on cinemax. this movie is america, it has been for the last 9 or so years, its every damn stupid white boy wigger. the dreams of i guess what you could call "blackness" read into that as much as you want.

this movie is what i see on every one's faces around me, this life style really plays for the masses. look agound you. its so bad that this social genocide is destorying our youth.

this movie is funny, as are all the people like this which it was made to represnt. whiteboyz indeed.

pray for your souls this crap is not a joke its real its our world. look at yourself and the world around you before you laugh. its your kids, your friends, your co-workers etc... its sad. its the decline of civilization.
