As a man of color, would that mean he's brainwashed or is he a redneck trapped in a black man's body ? I'm white and hate the shit. Please somebody tell me I'm not living a Disney remake....<BR/>Love the blog.

Their "Drive for Diversity" is a joke-- and that's coming from these guys' parents who after embracing it, just feel used at every turn, so to speak.<BR/><BR/>Do we as black folk need to embrace every single thing from mainstream/white america? No. But isn't that part of our dysfunction that we'll take a swing at some of the dumbest weirdest wrongest of said folks' offerings just to feel more "american" or rebellious, even?<BR/><BR/>great blog, by the way.HustleKnockerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01578735518105427366noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16210951.post-83089857169203107132007-10-18T03:01:00.000-04:002007-10-18T03:01:00.000-04:00I used to want to be a NASCAR driver, but my mom s...I used to want to be a NASCAR driver, but my mom said it was too dangerous.
