It could be perceived as commentary on how suburban white girls by and large consider dating black guys (specifically: thugs) as taboo and therefore, by actually dating them, are indulging in risky busines equivocal to getting a tattoo.

actually i totally agree with this.  even when i was in middle school i remember most of the girls seemed to be more intersted (romantically) in the black kids and when they got to high school they had sort of grown out of it.  i think ghostboys theory is a pretty good idea of why.

Well prophet, I'm afraid that's the stupidest thing I might have ever heard on this board and it represents an extremely limited point of view.

I WAS JUST KIDDING! I KNEW YOU WERE GOING TO SAY THAT THAT'S WHY I DID IT MAN COOL IT.

whats that mean 'its prophet'?

Well, you said j/k after the first statement, so I assumed you meant the second. Also, I've heard people say that before and totally mean it, so I assumed you were serious.

Banky, a concerned friend asked me the same thing the other day (about the makeout scene). After much deliberation, we concluded that it was okay to feel that way.

Exhibit A as to why joining two expressions doesn't work.

That was exactly the issue I had with the movie.  I think Ghostboy hit the nail on the head when he said:

Quote from: GhostboyIt could be perceived as commentary on how suburban white girls by and large consider dating black guys (specifically: thugs) as taboo and therefore, by actually dating them, are indulging in risky busines equivocal to getting a tattoo.

But it comes off in the movie as:

And so it never quite sat right with me.

But that's just it.  It was presented in the movie as a problem, leaving the audience to assume that the context was what Ghostboy said on the previous page.  

Maybe I'm just being touchy about it but it just seems like, with all the shit these girls were doing in Thirteen, it felt like the movie was saying, "Parents, watch out.  Your daughters could be huffing glue, stealing and canoodling with Negroes when you're not watching them."

Quote from: someoneJohansson and Del Toro an Item?
Unlikely couple Scarlett Johansson and Benicio Del Toro were so smitten with each other at a pre-Oscars party, they didn't care about being spotted "with their arms all over each other". Latin star Del Toro - who was nominated for a Best Supporting Actor Academy Award at Sunday's ceremony - spent Saturday night canoodling with the 19-year-old actress before the pair retired to the Chateau Marmont hotel in Los Angeles at 3.30am. Guests at the legendary hotel on Sunset Strip were stunned when the playful pair walked in, because they were making no attempts to cover up their intimate behavior. A spy says, "They didn't care who saw them. They walked through the hotel lobby where there were quite a few people hanging about and didn't seem at all embarrassed to be spotted with their arms all over each other. It was quite extraordinary. She looks so young and he could easily pass for her dad. They then got into a lift together."

Canoodling is really a lost art.  There was a time you could go anywhere and find people canoodling or petting.  

Those days are gone.   :cry:

Your more rebellious yet simplistic white kids have been ripping the black subculture and "trying to be black" for as long as there has been racism in this country. As long as "black" is equated in the dominant idiom, by whomever and for whatever reason, with "loud, obnoxious things that piss people off," then white kids who want to piss off their parents will be attracted to the black subculture. Rather exploitative (on the part of the white kids and the people of whatever race making money off of defining what is and isn't "black"), if you ask me. But then, I'm extremely skeptical of the more circumscribed, supposedly monolithic subcultures, starting with "my own" (the gay one- blah) and extending onward... "alternative" subcultures- race, sexual, or orientation based- are much too often insular, ghettoized, cloistered, second-class, depoliticized, complacent, and useless. The anomalies are always, always infinitely more interesting than those that fit the profile, whatever it might be. I'm free to partake of, relate to, and be involved in any part of this culture I choose, and for whatever reason- "subcultural" assumptions and presumptuousness be damned! But I hope my interest and participation is never for dumb, superficial reasons like making mommy and daddy upset (though if that's a side effect, then so be it).

My parents are way too easy to piss off for the gay thing to be worth the hassle...  :wink:  I could just as easily have pierced something if that was really the aim.

I know... what goes around comes around. I'll still love and accept and understand my kids if they turn out straight, of course. I'd just be worried about it handicapping them out in society, what with all the bigotry out there and the lonely, empty, bar-hopping lives straight people lead.  :wink:

I hope I never say this again... but can I take back what I said before?  Because reading your post brought back a distant memory... eskimo kisses, hand holding, pet names and cuddling...  

I have become jaded  and I mocked the art of the canoodle; when in actuality... a canoodle is so much more fullfilling than a screw.  I WAS LYING TO MYSELF!   :oops:

It's okay.  You're gonna be just fine.  You'll get through this.  Just remember: a screw is always nice but you have to canoodle a bit in between just to keep things fun.
