Thank you all for your views and comments so far. I am pleasantly surprised by how well this has been received. I never really intended for people outside of the class I was in to watch this, so I'm a little embarrassed by how rough around the edges this is. But those of you that are sharing this with others, I appreciate it and keep doin what ya doin. Peace.

Excellent presentation. It's amazing how we've learned to actually ENJOY, doin' this to ourselves. Most cats will say, "it's JUST entertaining" But I wonder if any of them have REALLY asked themselves, "Why IS it, that the Caucasian CEO that I help to make wealthy,and those LIKE him, finds the most unhealthy, detrimental,and unhonorable surviving elements OF my culture, ENTERTAINING?! 70% is purchased by them. WHY such the enjoyment of other's pain?

The CRAZIEST part?....It's the norm.

this makes my heart heavy because it seems like we are caught in a cross fire. First we had michael jackson and despite the mans talent he was the pied piper leading our children down the cobblestone alleys to the pier and into the river. Now these clowns come along and they are gleaning the fields and throwing our youth into the raging river. Coonin'

Dont compare such a good thing with a shit thing

[joehancock01]

WRONG... minstrels was about jokes however those gangster things are about hurting people, drugs sex and plus they are more prejudice than anything..... minstrels was good. i hate it when people think minstrels are bad... they are like happy and joyfull the whole point of it,.,.. ROAARR!!!!
