stuff rolling around in my head.

Our culture has begun to break down into subcultures that while once were defined by race, are now being defined by attitude, music, and a personal sense of belonging.
Suburban children who have never had to deal with not having enough money for lunch at school are lining up to see Eminem strut across a stage. Young Latinos are finding themselves humming along to the latest pop hit while their parents work in a field for less than minimum wage. There are brooklyn girls dancing to Brad Paisleys alcohol even though they've never been outside of the five boroughs. Rural white kids are growing mohawks and dreaming of concrete jungles to conquor or escape.

Music is just the most obvious example. Movies, television shows, and fashion are all becomming more transportable. Good, the more America cross-pollinates its ideas and art across racial lines the less full of hate we become.

The only downside of this is that the founding ideas and thoughts are being replaced by sound bites and surface appearances. Soon the facade may become the substance. So please,. look deeper than the facade and into the hearts of the subculture you represent. Each is valid, each is valuable.
