There was this one speaker (he's sort of famous) who after a day of lectures brought a few of us out and showed us his huge suped up SUV. It looked like something you'd see a black rapper driving or something. He opened up the trunk and showed us the speakers inside. So there I was and I was thinking this was cool and I'd like to remember it so I pull out my camera and took a picture. The speaker and my camp counselor saw that and got fairly upset and made me delete the photo. wtf? Is that an odd thing to get upset over?
Rap music began as a form of street music. It came out of urban culture. But like most socializing, be it food, or politics or religion, or even beating another inventor to the patent office, we as a species mix all the time.
So when you say "black rapper" don't forget the Beasty Boys were rappers and Eminem is also a rapper. And even today Hip Hop seems to be out pacing in appeal to all current youth just like Rock and Roll back in the 50s replaced big band and crooners.
Just saying.
Other than that, yea, seems a bit odd to get upset over a picture of a vehicle's content, especially when you go out of your way to use it as an argument for your invisible friend "Look how successful I am, this is what belief in god can do for you".
