So the newcomers are listening to the same music as the offspring of long time residents of DC, AND dating each other too?
Hahaha. Dream on. I don't know where you live, but on the buses I ride, and the neighborhoods I go to, it is very much business as usual.
Slick. Very slick.
I feel what Cooper is saying. Most younger people are not as homophobic as older people. Also if you go to the club you see white, black, spanish and everything partying like it is nothing. You are just as likely to see a white girl playing lil wayne these days as anybody else. I for sure know that white and spanish girls are loving the brothers these days. You better get hip homie lol. That don't mean that racism and all that other stuff is gone but it is not young people that are pushing that agenda.
Of all the folks on this show I would rather have Cooper on concil than any of these other old bammas. We need something different.
