[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] ITA -- As an AA I am tired of people (in general, both minority and non-minority) spouted this nonsense about contemporary urban culture (dress, attitude towards women and lack of respect for education) as if it was intrinsic or had an historical legacy dated back hundreds of years. Now the legacy of poverty and lack of access to resources are historical--slavery and structural racism--however, my grandparents did not react to racism and limited access to cultural/social capital like today's "urban" culture. [/quote] Honestly, I do not think whether it is intrinsic or not is as important as African Americans themselves rising up against this segment of the black culture that disses education which dishonors the name of Martin Luther King Junior :( People of poverty all over the world see the value in education and would love to have the opportunity to go to school. It is high time for African Americans to call upon all African Americans to rise up and value education and other time honored values that were valued by Martin Luther King Junior..[/quote]
