Decline of our society. -

Two nights ago I was out in a restaurant with some friends. We were at a family type restaurant that serves lots of different foods, although we all came for the all you can eat wings. We did the usual, talking about politics and girls. The restaurant has a bar in it and alcohol is a big part of their income, although this place doesn't get drunks or anything. While we were eating this guy screamed "GODDAMN RIGHT MOTHERFUCKER!!!" I was grossly offended, and that's coming from a guy who uses the f word frequently. Not that I'm proud of that, but at least I don't yell it in public or around girls. There were plenty of children there that night. The worst part was nobody kicked him out of the restaurant. So what is our society coming to??
I remember that even as soon as 1993 it was unacceptable for network stations to use the word "ass" in their programs. Now you see words like "ass" and "bitch" all the time. Also the degree of sexual content has skyrocketed in the past 5 years even. Sex scenes on soap operas and prime time shows are not unusual anymore. So how has this decline of morals and decency come around? The "African American" gansta.
Now before you flame me, which I don't care if you do or don't, just read and comprehend. All of my life every black person I have come in contact with uses different words and slang (some offensive) when they get around their buddies. I suppose that is fine, but when they get together and act like that in public, it is unacceptable. A few months ago in my class the teacher was gone for quite some time. Almost all of the "African American" men in that class were good friends, and had no problem talking the way they do. I'm not talking about the slang street talk, I'm talking about grossly offensive terms. They began a conversation about girls, and one of them proclaimed "Yeah motherfucker I would hit her wet pussy so hard. Goddamn!" To make it worse they were saying these things out loud where everybody in the class could hear them. Now I was pissed because all of the girls in that class had their jaw dropped, and even I was insulted for myself, because I don't want to hear that in class, much else when girls are around. This kind of behavior is not limited to school, however. I have heard many similar statements in places like the mall, movie theatre, restaurants, stores, etc... All of these places have women and children present.
Now an argument for my accusation may be "Well white people do it too." Sure, you're right, sadly they do. However, if you ever see a group of whites, or Anglo-Saxon just to be fair and balanced, doing this in public, then I can pretty much guarantee you that they have gotten many influences from "African American" culture. This culture being rap (not all rap). Why do people feel the need to swear like this randomly in frront of those unwilling to hear such words? Like I said "Anglo-Saxon" people act like this today in public and most "Anglo saxon" do. However, it is stations like MTV and BET that influence them. What type of music is generally played? Rap. To jump back earlier, people like Modonna acted in provocatively ways, much like the content you see in rap videos. She, along with others, helped blend the "Anglo-Saxon" culture into the "African American" culture.
Perhaps the worst part about this is "African Americans" didn't act this way 40 years ago. Most "African Americans" were class act people, and most from that era still are. However, I can say that about half of the "African American" youth today have sunk themselves to a level that will be near impossible to raise back to the previous state. "Anglo Saxon" youth have sunken to the same level, or near to the same level. 40 years ago it was not cool to act this way, both for "African Americans" and "Anglo saxon" people. It wasn't cool to put the word "motherfucker" twice in every sentence. It wasn't cool to talk about the female body in a degrading way, using such words as "pussy" "cunt" "bitch" "ass" "ho".
I could go on and on, but this thread turned into something I hadn't intended it to be to start with. I'm sure none will agree with me, but understand that this was not intended to be racist, as facts simply cannot be racist.
