I truly understand your point, and I think its brilliant in its own right. Yet, creating a binary of those who subscribe to such culture and those who don't is faulty. Because what you are actually critiquing is the intention or virtue behind this street culture, so don't come for the entire street culture itself. The overlap of intention&virtue and street culture most certainly does exist, and it is fortified and brilliant and intellectually lucrative. Also existing is the overlap of "uncle tom" behavior (selling out, lack of integrity, truth, loyalty, etc) and blacks who are literate, hold steady jobs, dress in a more conservative way, etc. And believe me, that is just as fortified, seemingly unwavering. I've seen both firsthand!!

It was tongue-in-cheek, pointing out that the use of the term "Uncle Tom" is inappropriate for ANYone because most people who use the term don't know its true meaning and apply it incorrectly.<br /><br />But of course, I shouldn't expect that in 2012 America, people read anything - let alone read AND comprehend.<br /><br />Please read again - with more focused comprehension.C.
