yes - we rapping too much too....hardly a day goes by when I drive by a young black dude walking the street and he's freestyling to himself :snoop:
Should his face be in an economics book while he's walking ? :mjlol:

2 biggest issues are abortion and the lack of 2 parent homes. Everything starts to work itself out when these issues are dramatically curbed. Rapping is a hobby.

He's absolutely correct.

Has he spoken about his white mother in law yet though?:sas1:

He awfully quiet about that shyt:sas2:

On the real though, yes. We need to have black kids doing more "sophisticated" shows like orchestras. Or just simply one in which we play musical instruments as opposed to solely our bodies and our voices.
Africa's got tons of musical instruments, and if you didn't know the banjo which white country musicians are so fond of is actually an African instrument and I believe it is what the guitar was based off of. DOn't quote me on the last bit though :dame:

White Educator “Shucks-N-Jives” With Black Students |

The Internet has seen more than its fair share of sensationalized videos that go viral in little to no time. From infants who display mannerisms atypical of their age, to animals dancing in rhythm to popular music, we’ve seemingly seen it all at this point. The following example will be no different.

In a story that’s eerily similar to Hillary Clinton’s “Whip & Nae Nae” dance to impress prospective Black voters, Ron Clark–a white man who founded the Ron Clark Academy in Atlanta–is doing a little pantomiming of his own. In the following video, he engages in a choreographed dance called the “Bet You Can’t Do It Like Me Challenge”, inspired by a popular dance.

Time has reported that within the first 14 hours of the video being posted, it had been viewed well over a million times and shared over 44,000 times via Clark’s Facebook page. As you will see from the video’s stats, those numbers have been far surpassed already.

While this story isn’t simply about dancing alone, the question must be asked: Why is the sight of seeing white educators buck dancing with our children conjure up warm and fuzzy feelings in the hearts of so many (including Melanoid people), yet the concept of African-centered schools staffed staffed with all Black educators–institutions that are guaranteed to introduce a Black child to its truest forms of history and culture while reinforcing its sense of identity without having to feel compelled to entertain them–are deemed ‘controversial’ by white supremacists and suspected white supremacists alike?

Ron Clark has been known in the past for using his Black students to entertain the masses. In 2008, students from his school appeared on several national media platforms to perform during that year’s Obama vs. McCain presidential campaign. Has Ron Clark made a name for himself by “slumming” with his Black students? Check out the video below to decide for yourself.

he might have a point, but if it's kids making money and staying off the streets :yeshrug:
This and honestly he should do one about cats online too much acting like they really doing something when all they're doing is keyboard activism.

My only criticism of Tariq's take on Ron Clark is that there is a lot more going on at his school than dancing.

Is he getting results academically?

Are those black children and parents benefitting from the education they getting at his academy?

If so, then if you work hard than you should play hard. If all those girls are getting great grades, are happy, protected, and enjoying their school, let them have fun.
