>>Probably for about the same reason so many White guys think they can write or direct movies ...<<

I grew up and spend a lot of time with Whites (it can’t be avoided in the suburbs of America).

I never knew one who wanted to be a director.

But look at TV and see portrayals, court shows, and criminals: there is an undeniable trend that they are “aspiring rappers.”

Are you saying otherwise? Are you suggesting I am wrong?

What exactly is the point of your post, besides showing your grasp of false dichotomy and straw men.

First of all, I was at least in part tongue in cheek -- semi-serious, semi-satirical as the saying goes.

Secondly, lot of that "aspiring rapper" or "aspiring DJ" stuff isn't serious. It means people perform on amateur nights and don't have any other more serious ambition, not that they're serious prospects working to achieve their goal.

Of course it costs more money to make a film than to rap, but my point was -- you can find that sort of pipe dreaming in other parts of the population. And judging from what's out there, it sometimes seems like every privileged White youth out there is making lousy movies, or wanting to.

Finally, I wanted to get away from the whole "Heh, heh, silly Negro" mentality. Odds are he won't make it. I'd go with college if I were him, but good luck to him all the same.
