$85, 000 isn't really a lot is it? I mean, it's not even a six figure salary. Lol, my dad makes $230,000. Now THAT is a lot of money lol.

That is funny because I'm black and my father can make $85,000 in his sleep. He has been off work for one year due to medical problems and his benefits alone can slap the taste out of your little pay check. So far he has sent 2 children to college (private schools) and 2 more are going this year on his paycheck working for a little place called the SEC. Maybe you should worry about yourself sweet heart.


Love: Lacie


P.S. I can wipe my ass with your paycheck.

Your a sad individual. You missed the whole idea of the movie. This type of dancing did not just appear. Its apart of our heritage. The Africans had a ritual that pertained to this form of dancing. We are just relating to our roots. I am glad that you are attending school. Just maybe when you realize that it is not all about money then you will truly prosper. Just because your in school it does not guarantee you a job. It only opens doors of opportunities for you. You being the ignorant indiviual that you are based on your statements those doors can also be closed. In school I am pretty sure they tell you to research before you state your findings. I guess you forgot to do your research or else you would have known alot more about the movie. That dancing is use to tranfer their aggression/anger into a form of art. Alot of people are not born with silver spoons in their mouths so they have to take their breaks when ever they can get them. Not alot of people are capable of getting into the big schools, because of the por education they are receiving now. You would not understand that though, because your not in the shoes of those unfortunate human beings. I am one of the few who made it out of my hood. Working on my second degree. Purchasing a home and a car, but that does not define my happiness. The fact that I can look at myself in the morning and be comfortable in my black skin knowing what my ancestors had to endure to get "US" as you may call it to the point where we are today. I am happy knowing that. I stay in the south I see ignorant individuals like you every day. I even work with a few. One day those four walls of ignorance and hate will close in on you and you will see what it feels like to be one of "US".

@bluesfan

You claim to be white,rich, from a good 'hood, but you still can't even spell worth a damn? Get the *beep* out of here with your fake-ass,racist,condescending bull***. The dance is simply a form of expression these kids invented to keep THEMSELVES from off the streets,and to do something more positive with their lives,THAT'S what it's all about. Now go somewhere else and quit commenting on topics you don't know or haven't even tried to learn s*** about!
