Germar found Ratchetness. Does it exist? Why do some people experience ratchetness daily and some think ratchetry is like Bigfoot? As always, Germar has all the answers. But seriously though . . . I almost didn't post this. If this is controversial, I give up on doing things.

Your podcast on the Rachet Culture was enlightening
ReplyDeleteand somewhat funny but I can see where it could be
interpreted as insulting to black women of that class.
You seem to diss them for lack of education, class and
an overall ghetto attitude. But in another perspective they
are honest women just making the statement "this is who
I am" and seem to be comfortable with how they live.
I think it is just human nature to want to keep it real and
more than likely these women don't really care all that much
about the social class critics that want to ridicule their
culture and manner of speech.
I think one problem with the ratchet culture is it can
be trotted out by white racists as an example of why whites
should consider themselves superior. This is a bogus claim by
whites since they have plenty of the "white redneck" culture
to have to explain.
But this is more about class than race, because there is more
than one dimension than we can find ourselves divisive over.
Yep. Those are all the responses.
