Lawanda G.MemberHow can a white man (DJ and rapper Paul Wall) and an Asian man (?) be crowned the ‘Kings of Grills’? Basically this is gold or jewelry on your teeth. As a black Southerner, this has been part of our culture since long as I could remember. When you reached a certain age, you requested a gold tooth for your birthday. I just would like to know how is this possible?

Jason-G28583ParticipantYeah, I mean for as long as I can remember Santa, Jesus, priests, teachers, firemen, popular singers, famous sports stars, journalists, and the rich were always white. What are all these blacks doing taking over my culture? Integration between cultures goes both ways, my friend. Why shouldn’t some of your ‘black’ culture become open to ‘white’ or other cultures? That’s what equality really means. Equal opportunity and access regardless of skin color. If you aren’t willing to let other races take part in your culture, why should I let you into mine?

Cal28596ParticipantWhy are you shocked that a white or Asian man could be crowned king of grills? Don’t you believe they are just as capable of idiotic behavior as black folks?

Cynthia28983ParticipantIf a black man can be a golf champion, then a white man and an Asian man can be the ‘King of Grills.’

Rochelle28664ParticipantThe entire thing is so asinine as to be beneath the attention of the intelligent.

Josh P.ParticipantPaul Wall is the ‘King of Grills’ because that was his occupation before becoming a rapper. That is how he got into the rap ‘game.’ He made grills in Houston and he got in with Swisha House which is a Houston record label. He grew up in the predominantly black neighborhoods of Houston. So he’s not some ‘suburban white kid’ who decided he wanted to be a rapper. So he doesn’t just wear the grills, he makes and customizes them; that’s how he is the so-called ‘King of Grills.’ As for the Asian man, I have no idea… but I’m betting that he makes them, too.

MichaelCParticipantAMEN! In order to really ‘erase’ the racial divide both sides are going to have to bend a little. It doesn’t work when one side says we should all be equal and then says you can’t do that, that’s ours.
