I'm a 49er fan so my favorite players are Rice and Montana.
My favorite athlete of all time is Magic Johnson. Watch him on tape and tell me anyone ever played the game like him.

I said it before, who do you think makes rappers rich? It isn't me because I don't listen to it!

I don't think you are very open to understand. You already have your opinion formed and that is pitiful. I'm so thankful that I don't have that burden weighing me down. People are equally mean, racist and ignorant. [/B][/QUOTE]

The same reasons that makes you an authority on Americans.

Pitiful would be when you post your hypocritical feelings.

There is nothing wrong with listening to rap/hip-hop music. Not all rap music degrades women and different races.

Do you have to write or verbally use a color when describing a person?

I'm an authority on being a black American. My point is you claim to know what it feels like to be someone like me when you don't. On the other hand, I don't need to know what it feels like to be you because I don't need to pass judgement. If someone is purple and they want to tell me what it is like I will listen.

How am I being hypocritical? I would really like to know. You seem to be the main one in this discussion with a closed mind.

I know all rap music doesn't degrade women and different races. I'm not the one who ever mentioned rap, if I'm not mistaken it was you. I only wanted to point out who it is that really makes these rappers millionaires. I don't think you addressed that one.

I don't have to write someone's color down. Color has never been a big issue with me. I think people of all colors have the ability to get on my nerves equally.
