"Bon Qui Qui at King Burger" is a comedy sketch from MadTV. I know every word to that rap, but when I think of it, everyone from my hometown does as well. It was once I came to the school that I realized not everyone knows of "ghetto". I grew up in this sort of environment, and to be honest, I'm glad I did. Although my hometown is not as "ghetto" as this video is, there are people that talk in this matter. Growing up, I lived in a very quiet south suburb, with the majority being white and Hispanic with little African Americans. With that being said, the African Americans did take over with "ebonics". Attending school with students that talked that way helped me grow not only my vocabulary in words I obviously do not need, but it helped me build character. Students that I have come across are very stuck up and don't believe that what goes on in this video really does exist in real life. They aren't willing to understand what it all is, and I feel as if this is an advantage on my part because knowing where it all comes from helps me socialize better now and in my future.
