I won't be flaming you but I will say that 10 white kids is simply ten white kids going to the movies unless they start wearing baggy pants hanging half way down their ass, speaking in ebonics and threatening to beat up irritated movie goers for telling them to be quiet during the movie. If this were the case I would just call them ten "wiggers" trying to be cool. You could also call them a gang though but only if they had the "complete" costume donned. By "complete" I mean they must have the matching doo rags on their heads as well as "bling" around their necks accompanied by a few rings and wrist bracelets.
fact is that most black kids in groups will be treated and viewed this way because that is the image they project to those of us around them. If they don't like it than they should change their clothes and act accordingly. Another fact is that black kids are more likely to dress/act in this manner than white kids... Why? Because it's cool to be a gangster! (and of course they need to fit in due to peer pressure and other cultural biases that you're too white to understand).
It's okay I can say all of this because..... You guessed it I'M BLACK as the night! I worry about the future of my race when I hear so many of these stories. Peace out.
That was well said!
I am worried about all of todays youth. It is tragic to hear of any kid dying over petty incidents like these whether they be white or black. Until we start looking at the real issues such as parental influence, community influence and education as the REAL problem instead of blaming it on race, religion, sexual orientation, or economical status, the children of today will never get it and realize that the person that is accountable is themselves.
I watch this show on tv alot which shows people in various prisons, you hear them saying "my mom this, my dad this" that is where it starts and that is where it needs to end!!!!
If today's youth would concentrate half as much on doing the right thing as they do doing the wrong thing we would have some pretty productive young adults. If they fought as much for the eductation, or other issues and used their brains to do it instead of their mouths, their fists and weapons, they would be a force to recon with.
I tell my kids to defend themselves if they are bullied but I also tell them "make sure it is a fight you can win." Don't get yourself into a fight at school and yeah, you win the fist fight but then you are kicked off the wrestling team becasue in the end, you are still the loser.
