Racial barriers imposed on us. People that elderlys, gov't, hate groups and such that say we should not be together. Blacks, whites, asians, hispanics, getting together, talking, getting to know each other, and having a good time.

No, actually it has brought lots of people together, people meet others "oh you break, whats you number, we need to get together and get down sometime, consider yourself part of the crew.
"oh you rhyme too? lets battle or lets get a cypher going on."
Of course there are always people that you see from time to time, and dont really keep up each other, but when they see each other its all love. But thats bound to happen. And usuall ITS NOT A RACE THING. Its happened with headz of all hues. So, every time you met a group of whites at a show you kept in constant touch with them?
so is
>this barrier broken down for
>the moment?
barrier is always broken down. Like I said hip-hop has brought me and my crew together, and we are people you would not thing be hanging out. 36 and 28 year old black dudes hanging out with 19 year old white dudes? b-boyin', doing graf. That sound like "barriers being broken down" esp. dudes that said they went through times when they did not like white people.(dont want to say racist, b/c 20 ppl are gonna jump on me for that) So you obviously by your question posed at me take time and get to know those of different races from you at hip-hop shows didnt go your separate way. Or maybe you do, and think everyone else does.
