Uh, black people and their culture are really really cool, considering "cool" (in my opinion) is what's in the movies, what's in music, what people try to be, etc. Movies *make* cool.
Besides, there's some white people in that movie too.
That's probably true. Well, one way or another black people became cool. And it's not so much because of race but because music is more ingrained in their culture. It's inevitable that they be considered cool. In fact, you could sort of say it's been like this since Europeans imported Africans into their continent, and thought the Africans were "entertaining."Originally posted by cgannon64
The movies don't really make cool. They take what was once cool, package it, and sell it in a more distilled, swallowable form to the masses. And then it is no longer cool.
You mean the ones that get served?
Yeah, that's what I imagine too. That, or they suddenly reveal that they're in the Klan.
