In many instances, the poor (especially the young) believe that their appearance is proportional to how well they're accepted and perceived. If you sport the latest fashions, the gaudiest jewelry, and the most ridiculous vehicles, then you're obviously a person with some power and popularity. So, as a result, they attempt to emulate 'power' by skipping the whole 'attaining power' bit and going straight to the pay-offs. They get the gear to up their own status within their own class.

Honestly, I think you are over-reacting to the situation. Why does porn bother you? Do you not like the fact that your significant other is watching strangers procreate? Or do you just feel uncomfortable with him looking at other women naked and, potentially, becoming aroused by it? My questions stated aren't to offend you, but rather get an insight into why you're so disturbed by pornography. I can't speak for all guys, but I have noticed that the majority of guys who watch porn watch hardcore stuff. Meaning they're not watching a lone female, they're watching the act; which to many people is arousing. I know quite a few females who get off by watching, what is in essense, strangers having sex. It's not the 'people' we're getting off to, rather the 'act.' I guess you could say not all guys have the best imaginations.

Dancing is not as universal as many people like to think. Though we all dance, not everyone dances in the same methods and to the same sound. There are so many forms of dancing and bodily expression it's hard to say one race 'can't dance.'

I don't think it's a race-centered issue, but I will admit rarely do you see two black women kiss each other (though I have). Either way, my guess would be it's a form of empowerment for them. Considering alot of white women are under the wing of harshly-conservative protestantism, it's no wonder why they would be as 'freakish' as they can be. My guess is it's a form of 'breaking the rules.' And exploring life for themselves. I believe it was Freud who said that we're all bisexual, so we might as well live it up.

Everyone does have a talent, yes, but not everyone is suited for higher education. This goes not only for underclasses, but upperclasses as well. I know many 'well off' kids in my graduating class who, though they passed their classes, are probably the most un-educated people I've ever known. College is not for everyone, this is true, but I don't think that income has anything to do with how smart a person is. Accessability is the big thing. Many poor families need all available members to work to help support the structure. If you're working more than you can participate in school, you become disillusioned with the prospect of higher-education, though you may be well-suited for it. Also, alot of times, peer pressure in lower-classes sways intellectuals to more aggressive or physical means as to prevent 'looking weak.' The peer groups in more well-to-do areas aren't as actively against education because of high-demands within their families (dad wants them to go to this school, etc.) But apathy is everywhere. Some people can cut it, some people can't.

It's all part of the business, the hype and the 'glam.' It's the same reasons movie stars get tied up in drug problems, too.

Alot of people give slang a bad-rap because of it's 'lack' of education. The word 'skeet' is actually an old norse word meaning, 'to shoot.' How fitting.

Alot of parents look down on education because they don't see how exactly it can help their kids be better off. I mean, it costs an arm and a leg to go to college and to support yourself while you're there... it's not a cheap prospect. But it's not impossible, and I believe that's the biggest crime in this all. Alot of lower-classed parents make their children believe they can't get an education because they need to 'work to earn money in the real world.' If only they knew that real money isn't made by education, but through stock gambling and good timing. But I digress.

I don't think that virginity is as big of a deal, these days, simply because the means to have safe-sex are more available and accessable. Of course, this isn't neccessarily a 'bad thing.' I don't think that saving yourself for marriage is the smartest thing in the world to do, but hey, to each their own. It's not about WHEN someone loses their virginity, it's about WHY. If you're doing it because you feel pressured to, then it's a BAD thing. However, if you feel convinced that this person is right for you and the feeling to 'take it to the next level' is consentual, then I see no problem in it. If you don't end up staying together, then oh well. Virginity is mostly symbolic, anyways.

I've heard, on several occassions, that boots thrown over telephone wires was a tradition for people who returned from war/got out of the military. They would take their boots and throw them over the wire, because they would no longer be of use to them. Whether or not this is true, I have no clue. It's something I've heard, though.
