    Besides, as Viking mentioned, there's also the racial subcultures to consider. Not that all blacks, hispanics or whites can be placed in one subculture, but there is definitely a strong subculture among poor and/or minority populations that encourages such consumption. Now, I won't get into how this was created, lest I be accused of being a pinko hippie liberal douche who is ragging on my fellow white man and/or ever-glorious consumerist capitalism, but let's just say that we would all be better off without these subcultures.
    All I know is the most ghetto fabulous people I've ever seen were affluent white teens wanting to have street crede. Dats all, peace out. That study be whack yo, word to yo mutha bitches...

    Watch a week of MTV Cribs and look at the audience its targeted to. Its not targeted to poor blacks trying to kepp it real, its targeted to dumbass crackers wanting to see how to represent. Makes me wanna bust a cap wit a quickness.
