Coonery- Acting in such a manner as to perpetuate black stereotypes in society such as music videos solely about cars, money and women. Soulja Boy, Most of hip-hop in general, Flava Flav...all examples of coonery.

I wasn't going to post about Soulja Boy buying a new Lamborghini and getting a matching black Lamborghini chain to go with it but I just can't hold back any longer! Now Soulja threw a Bit*h fit about the way people are always judging him and the media never shows the good he does like donating and Blah Blah Blah..... Well read it for yourself :

Why do the media blow up the things that they think will make me look stupid or ignorant. Why not publicize or put me in the spotlight when I do positive things? What about when I was in the hood this past Christmas passing out toys to everybody on the westside of Atlanta where I grew up why not show that on TV? Why not publicize my Little league football team that I sponsor in Batesville, MS or the money I donated to help build the rec center and boyz and girls club!? What about when I donated $25,000 for all those kids to have a good Christmas with the Toyz n da hood foundation? Why not step in when Ice-T was dissing me why not call up and have a sit down to squash that beef.

THINK ABOUT IT A 40 YEAR OLD SOMETHING GANGSTA NIGGA VS. A 16 YEAR OLD KID (AT THE TIME). What if he really did have O.G. crip niggaz that had a price on my head to murder me? WHY DIDN’T YOU TRY TO STEP IN AND STOP THAT? HUH?. you worried about a black diamond chain that I received as birthday present??? WTF


What about when me and Tigger was in D.C. buying all those can foods for the homeless??? Why not publicize when them niggaz ran in my house and tried to kill me and I had to defend myself and blast they ass. WHY NOT SHOW THAT ON TV???? HUH!???? CUZ U DONT WANT PEOPLE TO SEE THE REAL SHI*T THATS GOIN BEHIND THE SCENES U WANT EVERYTHING WATERED DOWNED AND FAKE THATS WHY! FU*CK THAT! I’m all the way REAL 100. I know America probably ain’t ready for a young black rich n*gga running around doing it how he had it planned since he was little. But i’m from the hood! This is all I know! All I grew up seeing was diamondz, money, drugs, fightin, shootin, dancing, basketball and football. real n*gga shit that’s all I was around while I grew up! I don’t know sh*t else!

I got signed when I was 16 and it took me away from that environment and put me on a whole other level that blew my mind. I’ve traveled all across the world and seen some AMAZING MIND BLOWING THINGS. But I can’t run from my past I can’t act like i’m something i’m not! I only can be what I know and be who I am WHICH IS ME. A young n*gga who was born in Southside Chicago moved to ATL and went to high school in Mississippi. NEVER stayed in a good neighborhood my whole life until after I got signed!

BUT IT IS WHAT IS IT IS. IM REAL AS IT GET AND ALOT OF PEOPLE LOVE ME FOR THAT. AND LOT OF PEOPLE HATE ME FOR THAT. I’m just being ME that’s all I can be! im out 100 ROLE MODEL OR NO ROLE MODEL IM ONLY HUMAN."

If you ask me Soulja Boy you can’t really fault the “media” in this because half of the foolishness posted about him, he creates and posts himself.
So why not video all of the wonderful things you’re doing in the community and post that to YouTube and and souljabot.tv and give people a different view of yourself.
Why not tweet about the contributions you are making to better today’s youth. Instead of filming and posting your remote control necklace - film your making a contribution to a local boys and girls club… and I get that’s it was a “gift” but maybe if the people giving the gift had a better understanding of your intelligence, they would be creating a scholarship program in your name at an HBCU.
I understand you are only 19, I understand that you have earned every bit of the money you are flaunting and spending, but I believe as you get older, more mature and gain a better understanding, you will do better. I just want you to make it through - I want to see SouljaMAN.
