I suppose I'd rather have people look at it from a point of "do they GET it, or not?"

Do they honestly love the music?Do they respect the cultural background of the art?

I don't think this can be determined by skin colour.

I mean we are talking not only about Black culture--but Pop culture.We are bombarded every day thru all different types of media with these images.I'd guess there are plenty of black people out there who are justed as hooked on Nelly as the mall geek.These people will always exist---much to the frustration of those that do GET IT!!

***Dove I was in Seatown last weekend--crazy night at the Bohemian.That club has got some serious testosterone going on!!I was scurrrrred!ha!
