People have been heavily influenced by southern rap music in the past 20 years and the accent incorporated with the latest slang sounds stupid ultimately. It's normally just people who are influenced by mainstream rap music etc. It's not representative of actual hip hop culture or black culture or the young people of today who think for themselves.

The one young lady who was interviewed was in my opinion A BEACON OF TRUTH AND HOPE, and if more young people thought as she did they would get much further in life. She was truly inspirational.

Many kids do think exactly like her, and always have, but they're never the ones being documented or talked about by the masses. In general, black americans are only seen through statistics which doesnt tell the entire story at all. That young lady was a perfect example. I went to catholic school my whole life and straight to college and graduated. I have my career and live/work a great life in SF. My siblings have both done well for themselves as well. There are many many many others who have done the same and we come from urban enviornments we are not from the suburbs. I have friends throughout every region who are educated and have done very well...some are married and have children some run businesses or have grest careers and live a positive life. Mainstream america doesnt talk about us because again we dont fit the narrative that they want to present. It also doesnt support the negative statistics that do exist but thats a one sided story. When most other races think of black people they think of single moms, deadbeat dads, gang culture, etc etc...but they dont even make up the majority of black people. Those problems do exist, but just as the video stated, the rest of us and our real culture is overshadowed by that negativity that people on the outside looking in are so much more interested in.

The black people themselves say that. They seem to so badly want to separate themselves from the stigma associated with being from boston. Boston is known as a white city, even tho it's less than half white, and has communities of every ethnicity. It's like people around the country know nothing other than the white boston, because of how movies, sports, and the media portray it... I've seen people make fun of black people for being from boston, saying they grew up in a white community, even tho there are some sizable predominately black communities around boston and the rest of massachusetts, and have been that way for many decades. However, I meet black people from boston with the accent constantly.

I lived on the corner of Parker and Tremont right across the street from the projects back in 1988. Do not know if it is true, but I heard the area across the street from where I lived, around the liquor store just inside the projects, was the biggest open air drug market in the country back in the day. There was a lot of activity out there at least and I got stopped by undercover narcotics officers more than once. Random strangers walking on the street outside my front door would often ask me to help direct them to where they could get drugs. I moved far away when I got the chance. In fact I live in a small country in Europe today. But Mission Hill got fancy in later years before I got out. Osco Drug was torn down and they built a park on the vacant lot above it and put in a bunch of new stores and restaurants. Then all the students moved in so the neighborhood was hard to recognize for what it had once been years earlier. Greetings from Aarhus.
