 You just called your husband a 'corporate [b]thug[/b]'?  :shock:  I wonder if part of the issue is that in mainstream America the holdover of WASP culture is still what most people aspire to.  While WASPS themselves are fading in their ascendancy (I just finished reading "Cheerful Money" about the last gasp of the real, original WASPS-highly, highly recommend), most don't mind the idea of their lifestyle updated for the 20th c. (racial inclusiveness, gay rights etc.)  A college degree, romantic love, civility and manners.  When a community emphasizes this it's not going to harm their kids in the long run even if their kids rebel a little.   Is this "he is my corporate thug" a form of poetry?  The lingo and imagery of thuggery (with its mysogyny, its violence, its nihilism) should not hold the day.  Remember early hip-hop"?  Remember when it wasn't all about being a thug?  Remember when it was poetry, creativity, thoughtful discussion and protest, at times a little bit silly?  Maybe the positive hip-hop is cornball.  The cornball brothers I know would bristle at being, in any way, associated with the term 'thug'.  I guess that's why you're not married to one![/quote]

Nah, that's what you wanted to hear. I said my husband could handle his business and take and make his money in the corporate world most comfortably. He earns enough to allow me to SAH if I had the mindset and still put money into a 529.  And, if necessary he could handle his business and take care of his family outside of the corporate America. But, you need not be of a Black man comfortable in your oneness to live and exist in varying worlds.   I know plenty of white men who are just as comfortable, but of course you would never invupision them in your hip hop videos.  You are right, I would not have dated or married a cornball of any race.
