But at least Blacks and other minorites know where they stand with Elitist Republicans. The problem with White Elitist Democrats is that they hypocritically pronounce how they are all for "the lowly Black man", and how they help the "lowly Black man", and all this tripe they profess, but when it comes down to it, they put on the smile to Minorities, use and exploit them, and then stab them in the back when they aren't looking. |

Then why whenever I go to an opening weekend of a "black" movie are there a half dozen police cars in the parking lot instead of the normal one? Now that the Del Amo Mall attracts mostly black teenagers on Saturday nights why are there several police cars and a visible police presence instead of one parked car and no visible police? |

But the catch is they have to "make it" before they will have enough of a following to really make "money" in the music business anymore, as otherwise no one is going to see them either. |

If a club catering to the Metallica, GWAR, Megadeath crowd were coming to that area, the people would not be too happy.Somehow when I think of NYC, I don't think hard rock/heavy metal. I don't know why... And fuck that shit with political correctness. Let's be honest with ourselves. The hip hop community has a terrible rep and it's well-deserved. Guys write songs about shooting people and laugh about it. Almost every artist has to carry a gun because they are at risk of being shot by a rival for a diss. That attitude extends to the listeners. Unfortunately true. But it's not just the Hip-Hop culture though. Have you seen Jamaica lately? See the Jamaican documentary Made in Jamaica for an idea... |

First of all, "hoops and hip-hip crowd" is not a quote from a resident. No one is on record as saying that.You're right. I looked it up. Couldn't find any other reference. And even if someone is, it's the music genre not skin color they are concerned with. I'm not so sure about that... Secondly, such projects always meet opposition. Look at the Islanders. They want to build a new arena with an apartment building complex, entertainment center, and other features. But wait, hockey is for white people! How can there be opposition? Makes no sense, unless you live in the real world like I do. No doubt. No one wants anything big, busy and boisterous in a residential neighborhood. I can understand that. Third point: Hip-hop in NYC means more than black. Seems like many people dress hip-hop a call each other "Nigga". Most of them are black though... And most of the rest are brown.... |

An event at a well-known chain attended mostly by white people like me, had to have a police presence. If the clientele was black and there were police, people like Osmosis Jones would cry racism and say that police would not be there for a largely white audience. |

Take a look at who buys the music & who goes to concerts? Why do you think rappers don't wear their clothes tighter anymore? Because the execs realized that white people are the ones that are actually financially supporting the rappers now & wanted the rappers to relate to that demographic more. |
