yeah i know what you mean, at the school i use to go to, people were exactly like that. They didn't care about what was going on in the world. All they cared about was rap music, clothes, and cars. The majority of the campus was black (im not trying to be racist or anything like that, this is just how it was) and everyone there dressed the same with really baggy clothes and those fucking tall-t's or whatever they're called. They all drove the same type of car which was crown vics on 24s with the most god awful paint jobs, and all they talked about was partying and rap music. No one there cared about anything going on in the world. you could barely understand what people were saying because it was all ebonics/jive talk/whatever you want to call it and it seemed like to be cool, you had to talk like you were ignorant and uneducated. On the other hand, I've been taking night classes at a new community college and everyone there keeps up with the news and are all very educated. It might be because its night classes so the majority of the people there are older than 21, but everyone in my classes seem very well informed and we always have some great debates, its really cool.
