OP I used to look at WS the same way you did. I felt they were promoting negativity, and making black people look bad. But wether WS exists or not your always gonna have dumb people posting stuff online that makes Black people look bad. There's youtube and all other types of ways for people to do that. Shutting down WS wouldn't really make a difference if you ask me.

eh.
he's saying that black people are negatively generalized by AMERICA, due to the bombardment of negative images of blacks in media. Many americans don't have day-to-day contact with black people....there is a population of americans who's only interaction with black america is what they see in media.
his generalization of "white people" was out of a lack of a better term for a majority of americans who don't interact day-to-day with black people.....
which, if im not mistaken, would be white people....not ALL white people...but that specific populations of americans would MORE THAN LIKELY be white.....i mean, throw some indian and asian people in there, too.....
sure, there are white guys like crank lucas who know that Yung Buck and WSHH videos arent accurate representations of black people as a whole, but at the end of the day, don't try to mock his position just because he had to make generalizations, because they arent far-fetched at all.

So because you don't think it'll make a difference, we should just leave it there? Making a change has to start somewhere.Even a one dollar donation helps a poor man. Think about it.

See man, by making a post about it all you are doing is bringing more light to it. This thread you made alone has just brought more hits to the site. If you really so offended by the site just don't go to it. By doing anything else you are actually helping them out.
I think you are smart enough to know that really good things or really bad things get attention. WSHH is just like TMZ and Perez Hilton...people are going to look them regardless. They are a form of sensationalism.
WSHH isn't killing us though. Well it may be killing you, but it's not killing me. Those porch monkeys on that site does not in anyway represent me or the black people I put myself around.

Might as well say the same thing about rap music then. But y'all aint giving that up. Can't be all selective if you are going to be a crusader against ignorance. I mean let's just keep it real here.

Great point and I agree but OP is also 100% correct.
WSHH displays straight ****ery and sets African Americans back 1600's and reinforces the well-known stereotypes of blacks.

Who's being selective? Everyone with a brain will tell you that a lot of the rap music is poison. It glorifies drugs, and it disrespects our women. Then we sell it to our youth and wonder why they're so messed up. What's your argument? Why are you adressing the few of trying to make a difference, as opposed to adressing the problem?
