Old is a state of mind.

You realize the guys doing this project are fans of rap music, right? They're not mocking it. Quite the opposite, actually.

Some people will argue just for the sake of it...I wouldn't worry any further about it JPD. I guess you and I just aren't "socially conscious" enough to understand. How condescending to assume that the rest of us aren't aware just because we don't see eye to eye.

I'm not worried in the least. I'm just curious to see how long this will go on before Jero at least admits that these signs contain rap lyrics. He or she keeps denying that obvious, undisputable, and easily proven fact for some bizarre reason.

Naw that's because us blacks including socially conscious black LGBTs are more homophobic than any other demographic group in modern existence... Nobody agrees with some people on that non-sense, but oh how do we forget... #carryon

That's debatable, too...

Meanwhile, I said what I said...mockery of hip-hop...

It's only debatable to you because you're paranoid and you refuse to take people at their word, eve when they are clearly an ally.

I think I know what you mean. Its like a comfort thing, its something I have said about Atlanta and Marta many times, people are not on their best behavior when certain folks are around. I think Atlanta is satisfied with being HOODRICH and that is the presentation they want the world to see. *Shrugs*

That hasn't really stopped multi-national companies from relocating here.
