What's so bad about the black culture?




In America most blacks that I know are into reading books, listening to smooth R&B, poetry, dance, furthering their education, yet they maintain their culture. Is it because they don’t change who they are to be more like white people? If it’s so bad why is it that other ethnicities love black made music, copy our slang, try to hip hop dance, and the black culture is known as "cool". We are who we are, I love listening to Neyo, Floetry, I talk using using some slang words, I love books by Zane, I like baby phat and house of dereon clothing, why are all these things defined as ghetto, when I never lived in one my whole life? Why is anything in the black culture defined as ghetto, when most are founded by people who never lived in a ghetto? If loving the black culture is ghetto, fu*k it then call me ghetto. I’m not going to change who I am and what I like.
@anti cyrus, I’m black with native american ancestry. But I’m black.
I don’t refer to myself as african american because I have never seen africa. I’m black. I’m american.

Good Question?




How does the hip hop stores especially the newly established ones get certain vendors i.e baby phat, dereon, roca wear ect…. to allow them to sell their clothing?

what do guys think of abercrombie girls?




okay so i work at abercrombie & i love their clothing, wear it all the time. i cant stand guys in abercrombie or hollister clothing, im not really attracted to them at all.

i like "ghetto" guys, you know? with the whole hip hop look. so i was wondering what guys like that think of girls in abercrombie.

i feel like most of them like girls who wear southpole, baby phat, or red by marc ecko & stuff like that.

& im old enough to know it shouldnt matter what you wear & guys like you for who you are, blah blah, im just curious to know..
yeah i love my look & would never change it for anyyyyyy guy. i just wanted to know what guys really think. especially ghetto boys.

does this make sense? feel free to add things!?




The minority businessperson that inspires me the most I feel is kimora lee Simmons CEO of baby phat makes me very much inspired. Kimora is the president and creative director of baby phat kimora lee Simmons, a lifestyle brand for the glamorous woman who is all things hip-hop and everything fashion. She is the reason that I want to do what she does. She has confidence, charisma, attitude, and creativity, which all explains a lot with her clothing. Kimora’s knows that in today’s ultra-competitive world, it’s not enough for women just to be smart or dress well. With too much to do and competition everywhere, the savvy woman must know how to combine feminine glamour with professional power, business ambition with personal values, and confidence with heart. Kimora is the living picture of all things. “Confidence: I want you to dream in wide-screen format and to take the steps to put those dreams into motion. To feel sophisticated, independent and glamorous! To love yourself enough that you would want to grab for better things. I want you to speak up, speak out, and add your voice to the cultural mix”. –Kimora

The minority businessperson who inspires me the most is Kimora Lee Simmons, CEO of Baby Phat. She is the President and Creative Director of Baby Phat, a lifestyle brand for the glamorous woman who is all things hip-hop and all about fashion. She is the reason I want to work in the fashion industry. She has confidence, charisma, attitude, and creativity; all of which explain where here unique clothing ideas come from. Kimora seems to understand that in today’s ultra-competitive world, it is not enough for women just to be smart or dress well. With too much to do and competition everywhere, the fashion savvy woman must not only be concerned with what trends are the most popular at the moment, but she must also know how to combine feminine glamour with professional power, combine business ambition with personal values, and combine confidence with heart. Kimora Lee Simmons is a great example of what it means to be a confident, successful business woman. My favorite quote from Kimora exemplifies everything that she stands for and the reasons why she is such an inspiration to me. "Confidence: I want you to dream in wide-screen format and to take the steps to put those dreams into motion. To feel sophisticated, independent and glamorous! To love yourself enough that you would want to grab for better things. I want you to speak up, speak out, and add your voice to the cultural mix”. –Kimora

*pic* How should I style myself clothing wise?




I don’t really fit into any of the style categories, I’m pretty much just a sloppy mix of everything so I would like to try something new and dress more consistently. What style do you think would look best on me?

By style I mean…
-Urban outfitters, retro, hipster look
-Baby phat, south pole, fur lined puffy jacket, hoop earring wearing look. (Too old for this maybe.)
-Juicy couture, designer sun glasses, designer everything look.
-Grungy dark look.
-Very feminine pastel colored, floral prints look.

etc.

here are my pics:

body wise I’m average and short. (By short I mean 5 foot tall lol!)

In a nutshell, i love clothes. I have lots of them but, for some odd reason, i can’t find a birthday outfit to save my life! Granted i wanna look F-A-B, but alot of the clothes i’ve came across are down right slutty/whorish!!! Keep in mind, i’m a B-I-G girl (Size 24 to be exact) who enjoys the how you say trendy/fabulous/classic/chic style of dress i.e. skinny jeans, half jackets, nice tops, and to-die-for shoes!!
As far as designers go, i ‘m really into Rocawear, Applebottom, Baby phat, Dereon, Akademiks, and things of that nature!!!!
