moreso saying that experiencing culture gives a person more insight into it than anything else.

you are making a lot of statements about CULTURE, and i'm saying that

1.) some of your points are wrong

2.) it could very well be because you have not experienced the culture you're talking about. this whole idea of 'black folks not putting a premium on authenticity' is one example.

the reason church music flourishes is primarily BECAUSE the only thing folks care about is the AUTHENTIC FEELING behind the singer, not how good it sounds.

i can't help but think if you'd spent a lot of time EXPERIENCING church culture, you'd know this.

Is there any wonder why I hang out with mostly white or hispanic folks?
they arent as judgemental and dont have as many sexual hangups as black folk.

u know these muthafuckas are quick to run up on a black woman to ask her
to do some shit like this, because they know a black woman would be quick
to say yes to some shit like this...

Juxtarose (you know what i like about white guys?" they don't think having
a house, job and a car and no criminal record means they really have some
thing going on...)
