For me, "Old School." Am I the only one who gets annoyed by the use of this term?

EDIT: Edited the title so if you have more than one, you can list them. :P

I wish the "ghetto" type of speaking in general would go away. The only thing it's good for is making you sound like your IQ is half of what it actually is.

Yeah but I get the feeling it would cause a racial uproar and I don't want to get involved in that.

Or talking improper language not talking like black people. I dont think you can talk like a race. When a black person speaks proper is he talking white or proper? I hate when people generalize like that. I dont think white people are the only ones that can talk proper and i dont think blacks are the only ones that can talk 'ghetto'.

Also i find it funny you people have a problem with the way some blacks talk and you probably dont even really hang around a majority of them. If the way they talk does not emotionally or physically hurt you why do guys have a problem. You should want that because you will have a better chance of getting a job before them. They will learn their lesson soon enough.

I wish the entire world of "gangster/African-American thug culture" would cease to exist. Not only is there a small list of terms I'd love to shake my fist at, but a list that exceeds my posting capacity on this forum. The slang AND cultural influence of all this trash has now lead regular school children to act, dress, and yes, talk exactly the same as they hear on their favorite 50-Cent album. Regardless of where they come from or how they were raised, I grow sick and tired of the never ending blood flow from my ears that I have to endure from hearing this gibberish on the bus. Such things as "Awww shiiiitteee" and "Yeeeeeee" *high fives his buddies for no reason at all* really make me wonder if there really is a God.

Why so it can increase the competition for jobs? If they want to talk like that let them. Not every one has to talk "white/Proper" if they choose not to.

And the racism comes pouring in.. :lol:

And in the cases not directly racist are just pointless hate mongering, do people really have to give themselves so many reasons to be unhappy and frusterated?

I hate it. they act like the people who talk ghetto effects their lives in some way. IMO it makes it better because what HR person is going to hire someone that talks ghetto for a job. People should want others to talk ghetto for the benefit for them. If they have a problem with they way people talk well DONT talk to them, No harm done. Dont go around trying to force people to talk proper because you speak proper even if its the right thing to do. Let them be.

BTW this is not directed towards you i am just speaking my opinion.

Nerds saying "That was so doodle-do" The biggest thing that should go away is, Non black people saying the "N" Word!

I'm not black, but i find it to cohesive that anybody out of the race loves to say it. I mean just because they think they are from the hood they think they have the right to say it. And it gets annoying! I dont mind a black person saying it, but other then that, i believe any other racial form does not have a use for it.

I may be the only one with this problem, as I go to a school with a bunch of rich white kids who can afford the equipment, but I really wish the word Lax would go away. It's really not that hard to say Lacrosse, and since everyone in my school plays Lacrosse and 95% of them call it Lax, it just annoys the hell out of me.

I also just wish the whole "I'm from tha hood" thing would go away.

I don't think I've ever seen you in OT. :o Either that, or I have, and it's just been a while.
