So i was watching Tv the other day, and i happened to fall upon the series called "The Sopranos"


ok. so its an entertaining show somewhat, but every episode theres alot of killing and shit. You would expect this from the italian mob right ? they were truly some of the First "thugs" right?

just to make sure your still with me. they are THUGS. Yet they get some of the top ratings on H.B.O. and get NO heat about what the show is about, what the show represents and what the show is influencing.



now when a rapper talks about some shit and walks around looking like a thug, he gets all heat and hiphop is nothing but a bunch of thugs and bad influnces.


now for my point - How is it fair that hiphop/rap/mostly BLACK movies/shows/stations ect.. catches so much heat about shit and their CD's (that kids must go out of their way to buy i might add), but shows like the Sopranos and prodominently uncolored (politically correct term - haha) productions and organizations dont.

all a kid has to do is go in the living room and turn on the tv and he has HBo right there.

its a fuckin shame. and sometimes i hate to say it, but america is NOT the "american
dream" for alot of races and cultures.........
