Oh okay, so you're worried about me "representin'".
If you would care to explain why you thought that that post of a black Jesus was racist or any others for that matter I would be happy to discuss with you my thoughts on the subject. I really would.

Re: Make it stop....
"represintin" is bad english for one
and the context in which the image is used is negative overall, the thread is saying that only a Black person would design thier hummer in such a tacky way- insulting a photo of Black Jesus is also very disrespectful, (please not i didnt write "dissing")
if you can't see such obvious signs of bigotry, you indeed have your own issues that need resolving, However i dont plan on pointing out all forms of off colour humor, i myself can enjoy such forms of levity, but to stay silent in certain instances is the smae as accepting it.

It wasn't color humor it was culture humor. And yes a rap oriented culture surely decorates their stuff like that. I find that culture hilarious, deviant and quite disgusting.
I would also add that culture is damaging to people of ethnic color. I shudder at the fact that not only in Hummers but very POS vehicles are donning rims that cost more than the vehicle itself. It seems to me that in that culture- showing off money is more important than utility, education for their children, shelter, healthcare and food. Bad english is another normalcy in that culture.
I found that image of a black Jesus and many think he was. I think he was of arabic decent- but that's just me. And "I'm gonna git you sucka" is an ebonic phrase and a movie. I chose a black one to convey the joke. No one would of understood really if I put a white one. And ebonics is nothing but sh1t- sorry.
It just so happens that blacks are associated with that culture. It was started by them and many (certainly not all) in that culture are black. Not my fault, it's theirs. It's sad and certainly something that needs to be addressed in "African American" (I dunno if that is even politcally correct anymore) society.
If anything you should be upset with me using Jesus' picture and "sucka" in the same post. But then again, I really don't care.

For you to Generalize all RAP as "hilarious, deviant and quite disgusting" is very ignorant, you obviously have no experinece with the True culture, with artists like, "the Roots", "Lupe Fiasco",and "Mos Def", and many others who find the negative materialism very harmful to our community

I agree with this statement, but remember when rock got huge they did the same thing, its just an industry where so much money is made the average artist doesnt know how to deal with it properly, i have a DVD showing angus and Malcol young of AC/DC racing thier Ferrari's in the desert when they made it, and partying with strippers

For you to associate Black's with that culture as opposed to other Positive role models, just shows the actual contact you've had with the people, just because Most mobsters are italian, i would not think all italians are in the mob, hence the pic i put up would offend a decent Italian American
and i'm Canadian, we dont use that phrase

i was upset about that, but i was trying to limit the amount i said on the topic
You seem very educated on the topic, which makes it that much more hanus for you to demean it so
