I'm not surprised.
Black urban culture is something that's been imitated and mocked for generations. Are the intentions behind this good? I doubt it. Randall Miller Jr. saw a way to make a buck (whether he was approached or not) and jumped all over it.
Some may say it makes inner-city blacks look like bafoons, others may say its just a way of informing people how to understand the lingo.
Me, I think its embarassing. |
