The problem is the hijacking of African-American culture by the hip-hop generation that has helped glorify every rotten, foul and disgusting racial stereotype it took generations to eradicate.

I'm gonna bump it again.

I was surprised when I moved to Iowa to see the black kids as ghettofied as the ones on the east coast. I've since learned that many of them are transplants from Chicago and they've brought their Chicago hip hop culture with them.

Maybe I'm getting old, but these kids are embarassing. They are the only loud ones on the bus and they curse in front of anyone. It used to be a guy would forget himself and say something wrong in front of women and his buddies would call him on it. Not anymore. As a black woman in a mostly white environment, I am embarased for the race when these kids are on the bus with me.

I guess the old lady part of me is thinking, they have everything here - safety, good schools, a pleasant environment in which everyone gets treated well from what I've seen, and they continue to act out the worst aspects of ghetto culture. I refuse to call it 'black culture,' since I know many black people who wouldn't dream of acting this way.

It’s not just the black kids.

No insult intended, but I’ll bet if my Lab could talk, he wouldn’t be apologizing for Pit Bulls.

They’ve moved up northwest to Minnesota where the welfare is freer and the white people are even more scared. Every day, I wish they banned cars with Illinois plates from crossing I 94.
