"Urban" has nothing to do with liberals, and doesn't inherently have anything to do with race. it means "having to do with the city", including city life, style, etc. City style is largely driven by blacks, and thus urban style often refers to black urban style. However, it doesn't necessarily, as graffiti is considered urban, but is done by all races. Thus, indirectly, urban culture implies black culture in certain contexts. The people who post here are so dumb that they then equate "black" and "urban", and manage to blame it on liberals. Typical of dumb conservatives. Maybe they should spend more time thinking about how selfish their elitest policies are and stop blaming things on people who care about those who are less fortunate and the environment, on which we depend. Urban Dictionary
