The rest of what you posted is rather irrelevant and seems like you're trying to go off into arguments about different issues that I never even brought up. Only one issue is being discussed here..."Ghetto".... Everything i posted Pertains to that.  You seem to do this allot when you fail at a debate on this forum... You randomly talk about issues that do not pertain to the Topic and Subject.... The thread reads "is African Culture becoming Ghetto Culture" ...It is Laughable ... Think about it...seriously...it is literally laughable, to any educated mind. It's almost like saying "Is Fire Becoming to Flammable"....  9 Likes |

Royal-VII: Now if all of the cultures of Africa were "ghetto" before any western influence, why do you think the thread starter was bothered by certain dressing habits and the casual acceptance of highly crass and vulgar speech as normal? According to you, he should be fine with these things since they were already characteristic of African cultures. I think you and the OP should explain in detail where each of you is coming from and the rest of us should decide whose perception is more in line with reality. 3 Likes |

Yes, i'm talking about 'ghetto', in the unofficial way ppl in U.S use it. To refer to the negative sides of hip hop culture. To be honest, i don't see what people who have never been to Nigeria can really contribute to this topic. You guys seem to be trying to start a flame war between Africans and A.A's. That is completely unnecessary as both groups can benefit from reducing the 'ghettoness' in our cultures. 3 Likes |

The Thread starter has been deemed an absolute incompetent Moronn by the majority public on the forum If your "defense" is the incredibly high cerebral I.Q of an 18 year old racist boy...Then i think it's pretty much say to say you lost this debate brother? Once again?...Are you going to answer the question?
Yeah because "Vulgar" speech did not take place in africa prior to african's copying western rap music....

I don't even understand you guys anymore. Royal were you not one of the people that thought it was out of line when that poster used graphic photos of dead somalis to attack Warya?

Royal-VII: What are you talking about? My post was quite clear - highly vulgar and crass speech becoming normal and being perceived as normal within a society is an aspect of the issue the OP was commenting on. Any language can have curse/swear words - it's their use within and how they're perceived in a society that is relevant here. Yeah your right fam...They were too busy cutting off heads...mutilating little girls vaginall areas and engaging in civil wars.... In your mind, if particular cultures harm women for whatever reason it is universal to Africans and the only interpretation of that behavior is as being culturally ghetto. If heads are cut off for whatever reason, it is universal to Africans and is also due to cultural ghettoness. If civil wars break out, it is universal to all African cultures and the civil wars can only be explained by cultural ghettoness. I see where you're coming from now, but I can't really believe that this is your argument. 5 Likes |

Royal, When a masked gunman shoots a pregnant woman in a theater for whatever reason, do we begin discussing the "cultural ghettoness" of the place that that person was in? Or do we usually have enough sense to interpret that shocking act and many similar acts in that place as examples of individual evil? Does either of us accept the shooting of pregnant women or the beheading of children as something that is seen as normal or something that is tolerated? 5 Likes |

Royal-VII: I've reread this thread, and I've yet to see where either pleep or myself "blamed" anybody. Please explain how Americans could possibly blame Africans for a gunman dressing up like the Joker (a quintessentially American comic book villain), stockpiling heavy weapons easily due to the right to bear arms, and shooting a pregnant woman. 6 Likes |

Royal-VII: I'm starting to think you have comprehension problems. I asked you to prove that vulgar language was seen as normal in all African cultures - that the normality of it was in African cultures. You seem unwilling to do that. Almost every other group (Europeans, Arabs, Asians, etc.) besides Africans had slavery of other members of the same group by the way. They just eliminated it earlier than most Africans. 4 Likes |

So they spoke Politely to the Slaved they Owned?... Just off common knowledge of "people" and how human beings are...it is pretty logical that Africans have always used vulgar and abusive language towards each other as do every other group of people in this world Cut this Angelic African Folktale...The truth is rooted in demonic behavior Far reaching any realms beyond "Angelic".. ....You still have yet to answer my question by the way Lmfao 6 Likes |

PhysicsQED: I've reread this thread, and I've yet to see where either pleep or myself "blamed" anybody. See this is the typical stupidity I am talking about...Maybe it's genetics..maybe it's not Clearly you wrote this.... PhysicsQED: So called "ghetto culture" mainly arises in westernized or semi-westernized, poor, urban areas. And all through out this thread...constantly "blaming western culture"...

Royal-VII: Dude. This is becoming repetitive. You're completely missing what I was saying. My view is that the perception of wayward behaviors emerging from slum areas in urban centers as normal and their perpetuation and toleration throughout societies is something I have difficulty seeing as indigenous to certain cultures around the world, not just African cultures. If you disagree with that, fine. Let's just move on because were not going to agree. 4 Likes |

pleep: 1. All we produce is rap music What's even more apparently stupidd about your statement is... The original Message in the Op's first Post...Blames the negatives on Hip Hop Culture... He even engages in arguments with multiple people... It's obvious who has the problem "comprehending".. ..Lmfao like i said..maybe it's genetics..maybe it's not.. based on this conversation...I am leaning towards it being the truth LoL ..Your culture is backwards ...Get over it..and stop blaming the west...

Royal-VII: So you think stating that a phenomenon arises in certain areas that are characterized by a higher degree of western influence is equivalent to "blaming" the west?  If you don't understand something, simply ask for explanation, don't resort to needless insults. I never "blamed" the west for some young man in Lagos saying "nigga" - I explained why it would happen in a place like Lagos rather than say, a village in Benue state. Like I said, let's just move on. 4 Likes |

You could not answer any questions or counter any points. The thread title should be reversed. Lmfao you embarrassed yourself...(as you often do on this forum) Now you want to quite..As i expected.

Royal-VII: It sounds like he's not blaming anybody but is actually just asking if it's due to those Africans copying the negative aspects of hip hop culture. If you have a different interpretation, that's fine. I have my own, and like I said, we're probably not going to agree. 5 Likes |
