"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.

"that block is mad urban...check this urban beat...the subway only runs in urban areas"

6. (urban) (139↑, 80↓)
1) A word used to describe an area that has a much higher density than the surrounding area; clustered. This could either be the downtown of the central city in a larger metropolitan area (the skyscraper distict) or a clustered [villiage]/[hamlet] surrounded by [forest]\\[cropland]\\[open desert]. 2) Traditionally, areas where employment came from non-primary sources ([secondary] and [tertiary]). However, modern industry tends to take place over an area that has little of the density needed to truly be considered urbanized. 3)Associated with African-American or Hip-Hop culture. 4) Not suburban.

1) Believe it or not, a dense clustered villiage or hamlet surrounded by open countryside is very much in fact, urban. An estate, set back from the road on 5 or more acres, a house space or more away from their [neighbors] near the [metropolitan] [centre], now that's just not urban. 2)While the economy of our [metropolitan area] is considered urban, the density of the industrial parks is low enough to render that term laughable. 3)There is a store in [Paducah] near [Lowertown] that sells urbanwear and other aspects of urban or hip-hop culture. 4)Theres nothing sadder than a bunch of people living in low density suburbia calling themselves "urban".
