I hate hate the ghetto slang they use. Is there nothing more appealing to do than wear too much jewelry, dirty braids, silly gold in the mouth, and carry weapons to kill people, not to mention the reckless dog fighting and abuse by slapping the dog. God help us all if this continues. McCain, Hilary, Obama HELP!!!!

Why show the negative part of any neighborhood..including the ghetto. This video could have been shot in any state, in just about any community..just switch out the blacks to whites...and the projects with trailers...and it can be anywhere.
Anyone who actually KNEW the ghettos of NYC, and not just what makes the news, knows that this is in fact the exception, not the rule. How about you show what really happens on a daily basis in these ghettos: parents taking their kids to school, people going to work at crappy jobs, people dealing with ignorance and negative stereotypes inside their communities as well as outside their communities from people like you, and people struggling to make a better life for themselves and their kids.
Of course, none of those make headlines or make great Utube vids for the ignorant posters like FutureCop who seemingly get their info about the ghetto from Utube and their biggoted friends.

Yeah...nobody will get a feel for the ghetto unless you live there. Also I dont understand the thread...why exploit and promote the gangsta lifestyle.

The point of the thread is that futurecop enjoys promoting negative stereotypes about communities of color. From what I know of those residents of Westchester county (of which he is a resident I believe), this is their perception of most communities of color...thanks to such negative exploitation by Furturecop and friends.
Way to go...futurecop indeed....they are the cream of the crop!

i dont know the deal with future cop but i get what u saying i really do man. However, u gotta remember.....those "negative stereotypes" are the ones makin the vids and posting them on utube. Its not everything but it is there and it does happen. I mean, u gotta be a little irrated with the actual low lifes that film this stuff and try to glorify it right?

Yes but that is like taking a camera and filming people in Westchester County hurling racial insults about people of color. Does this happen in Westchester County. Sure does. Does it represent life in Westchester County..I would say NO....but it sure makes for good viewing on U-tube. It works both ways....but I do not go down that road and glorify it and somehow assert that is respresentative of people of Westchester County...but that is what Furturecop attempts to do by starting this thread. He should be banished from this site for such assaults on humanity.
