•I first noticed it was blacks who wore their trousers low back in the early ’80s. By the ’90s, it had spread to other races. Ditto with the manner of speech. I was on a streetcar and I didn’t recall seeing any blacks, yet the dialect was distinctly inner ghetto. I looked back and it was all Chinese. When I visited Germany in the late ’90s, I heard rap and turned, expecting to see a US serviceman. Nope, a German kid. Hollywood and the media made it “cool/hip” to be ghetto black. Low pants (so the po-po can easily catch them), treat women like “ho’s”, talk sh*t like they’re from the hood (and they never had to go in there like I did), listen to sh*t for music (I don’t want to dignify RAP by calling it music) and worse of all, the “victim” mentality that goes with it. Back in the ’80s it was only the blacks who had the “society owes me” attitude. By the ’90s I saw whites, hispanics and asians who adopted that attitude. In San Francisco Pacific Heights, a group of Yale singers was challenged by some “rich kids” who called out their zip code as a challenge. Zip code? They beat up the Yaleys. As society spirals down the toilet, it becomes easier for government to assert itself over them since they welcome “the man” to look after them. Oh yes, “the man” will put them on the train to go to campos de fema
