Would they really be racist?
DUDE?!!! Are you kidding me? Nobody needs their trash mouths or their money!!! People need to stop paying them!!! Goodness gracious - are you kidding me?!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

If they were white - I would call them white trash.

LOL!!!!


No problem. Hope to pick this up again, if interested.

I have often wondered and complained openly that for all of the rappers, sportsmen, etc who are Black and have achieved a level of financial success why don't they feel the burden to reach back and help others.

Taking money from them would be akin to taking money from the Mafia - they are destroyers of human dignity and life! Their money is filthy! They are not doing one good thing for the black community with all of their filthy money! Goodness, that just fires me up!!!!!

Okay, last post.

I disagree.

If they are earning their money legally, and if they decided to use their money to make a donation to their former school system or their church or even to an individual in need, it would be a good and noble thing for them to do.

So, are you saying that you are in agreement with the example these rappers set for the kids they are giving money too? You agree that they are setting a good, healthy example of what these kids should aspire to be?

I wish they were philanthropy-minded. As far as I know, they're not.

I don't agree with the example these guys set for others to emulate. It's not healthy.

However, if they would turn around and invest in their former neighborhoods and into the lives of other youth who admired them, then maybe some inner city ghettos would not be so bad, some school systems would be so impoverished, and as a whole things would change not just in the Black culture, but in the overall American culture as well.
