The ironic thing is, black males are more influential on popular culture than any other "ethnic" group. Has been this way since the days of the Cakewalk.
The problem is that so few actually make it, yet way too many believe that they are going to be either a b-ball star or rapper, or pimp.
I see many mexicans and dominicans who are going into the trades and doing very well for themselves and shun the whole pimp mentality.
Its really sad in fact.
