[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]AA male, here. OP, you've asked an important question, here. I see this as an expression of bi-cultural appreciation. And, if your son expresses this in a sincere way, it really doesn't matter where he goes, the AA culture will sence his sincerity and accept, if not embrace, him. America is seeing more and more of this kind of cultural fusion, but it is not new -- Eminem and the late Teena Marie come immediately to mind. Sure, you should certainly talk with your son about your feelings on this issue (or any issue), and offer up some of the sage advice you're getting here on this forum. But it doesn't sound like he's doing anything overboard, and in that case, I'd let him fly.

Btw, in response to other posts, I make a distinction between "hip hop" and "gangsta". Most hip hop is kid safe; gangsta not so much. IMO.[/quote]

Hi, OP here.  Thanks so much for this thoughtful reply.  It's reassuring![/quote]

Thanks and good luck to you and your son! I have two tweens (bi-racial) of my own -- and at this point there's no telling what their cultural proclivity will be. Kids are interesting in this way...[/quote]
