Perfect example being Mother teresa and her ''holyness'' and the ideas on ''rape''.
Eitherway...Young black males are bombarded with bullshit they SHOULD do and the way they SHOULD behaive even if they don't want to do so.
It is a cultural backlash of the consumerist culture.There are plenty of those people who have testified to the fact that if they do not feel like doing something they are dictated to by the media and certain peers, they are often accused of acting ''white'' (whatever that means).
This is not a ''selected few'' acting that way - it is a whole subculture of people.
People who DO NOT fit that profile are those who have resisted it, because they had the means to do so.
I am not claiming there is a ''one-fit-all'' theory - but when a trend begins to happen, one should not ignore it for a politically correct ''common sese'' excuse.
I would submit the following as common sense.
Do you feel, that of the world's population of black people, at least 50 percent plus one person eat fried chicken prodigiously, listen to hip-hop, and are consumerist?
Secondly, so as not to invalidate such a conclusion- do you feel that all other 'races' have a smaller percentage that take part in these activities?
