Welcome to Gaia! :: View User's Journal | Gaia Journals

I'm usually so self involved that my journal posts are about me. But, now I'm just going to complain to myself about stupid people.
Seems being Black is the new cool, and it's kinda been that way for the last... what, 15, 20 years? Except the past 5-10 years its been popular enough to bleed into N.America's public school systems- including elementary schools. 12 year olds calling eachother ****** and b***h? Seriously.

Okay, so it's bad enough kids in their own private lives have fallen into the Ghetto-esque Gangster/Pimp/Ho culture tar pit. However you want to disrespect your other white, middle class, protistant buddies in the privacy of your 2 floor, 4 bedroom house is fine. Blast your 'beat that p***y, slap yo p***y ******' music within your own walls.

But dude, keep it off the internet neutral for serial.
Online communities have been a sub-refuge for hobbiests/Niche enthusiests, or otherwise socially outcast individuals for the best part of 10 years. There's already massive ammounts of stigma and judgment against internet users who're overly sloppy with their typing, have a poor grip on grammar, or just genuinely have nothing interesting or on-topic to contribute.

So why is purposefully turning ones self into a spammy lil' n00b, in the name of frontin' the cool, attractive? Nobody actually likes reading posts/profiles/etc. consisting of 'yo bich i a strate up gangsta frum the projex pease ***** im outy fo shizle'. Who's impressed by loser nerds who have no gangster friends to talk like that to, so they use the internet on the computer their daddy bought? It just takes being a loser to the next level.

Funny thing though, over the years I've adapted black/hip hop slang into my normal speech manurisms. I'm a rich, well educated white girl with hobbies and a future. And my brother is a wankster, so I find it hilarious to emulate his ideal of cool to piss him off. Now, it's funny when I do it, because I'm actually articulate and employ proper English as my main vessel of communication. It's the kids that defected to inarticulate, improper trash-english because they sincerely believe it's phat and funky fresh that need a reality check up in this mug.

:/ I don't use the N-word either. If people of dark skin are going to s**t themselves and kill other peopler over using it, and then believe they themselves have the right to use it, I can distantly tolerate that. But i'm not a linguistic hypocrite.
