Subject: RE: BS: Are You Bitter???
Okay, I'll have to admit that I am not of the hip-hop generation... I am of the radical generation and learned that "boy" ain't what black men are to be called...

And, yes, I will also admit that I know my way around the Bible and am a person of Faith...

With that said, if hip-hopper's think that offending their parents and grand-parents is fine then I would have to call them on it as well... My son writes and occasionally performs rap butn he would know not to refere to a black man as "boy"...

Also, I understand that things are said or sung by black artists about black culture that I, from my value system, are outta bounds for white people...

Yes, I remember when I was teaching GED in the Richmond City Jail and then working at Rubicon's half way house as a counselor and I was usually the only white person around and the black folks would call each other "nigga" and call me "nigga" (which to me was endearing) but I never found it comfortable in reciprocating...

As for Fantz being an equal-opportunity trashers of candidates and their backers, I don't see it... Seems the only one she is after is Obama and his supporters???

What's that all about???
