Well thank you for having a willingness to try and understand. Stereo types have always made me question in this life. Sometimes it's downright funny! I've seen bull riders hip hop dancing and I've seen Coolio put on a hat and two step with the best of them. In the end, we are all just people, the good, the bad and the ugly. We all have one of those uncles or one of those less than delightful people in our universes and color or race isn't going to change that. Next time you get a chance to watch some street dancing and hip hop culture at the Saturday Market or elsewhere do me a favor ~ erase thug out of your mind and really watch. It's invigorating.. the energy is sometimes refreshing. Of course your talking to a chick who actually went to a strip club once just to see if a person really could physically hold on to a pole upside down lol! I was impressed!!
