i agree. it's like that show bad girls club....what have those girls done to be considered bad? spit in other girl's faces, gossip, fight people, wear tight ass clothes showing their breasts. yet they have done nothing in the big scheme of things other than show themselves for a couple bucks...quite pussy (no pun intended) in my opinion because you are allowing someone to make a fool of yourself which means you aren't a leader so you're a sucker. that's not really a bad girl...
as far as black women always given the whore reputation they actually do it to themselves. it's one thing for ppl to slap a stereotype on you but it's another to live up to it.
Whats up bro, man I love Chuck, something about his style and sound, beyond cool...He deserves a national monument for what he brought to the entire world...I agree Keith is direct descendant in rock n roll guitar style, man I'm not sure when I'll be playing in NYC but it will soon come... and you will def hear some C Berry stylings.Thanks for the support
yes yes, energy is a big part of it but that energy is the next step after realization. Most ppl who go by a stereotype truly believe it is true because they were brain washed into excepting and thinking its right. once you realize that something is wrong then youll need energy to challenge the idea and have the will to stick by your conclusion even when others around you think another way. This is easier said then done and its something that doesnt happen over night.
