Subject: RE: Rick's dilemma..outta touch wit da kids!
Of course, Rick. These aren't upper middle class children, so you assume they are all in gangs? That they all listen to which variety of "angry, in your face" music? I'm gonna guess rap, because after all, these are kids of color who attend an alternative school--they only listen to rap, right?

No stereotyping there.

Maybe you should just sing em cotton pickin', coolie, and wet back songs, Rick. It would be so historical for them. I'm sure them listening to a guy like you will be for their own good, too. They really need to be lectured to by some white guy who is so clueless and insecure he has to "play down" to his audiences when they don't look the same or have the same tastes, as him.
