In fact, I see many white teens with tats and dressing "gangsta," but they don't seem to be perceived as that. It is understood that they are adopting a style of dress for a moment in time. Why is it when AA teenagers do the same, the perception is their dress denotes their personality, habits and lifestyle, not only for the moment, but for their lives?[/quote]

[b]The other side of it is that in looking at the statistics, that's another discussion.  It's the AA teens who are several times more likely to actually follow through in the violence and crime, to not show respect for women and others, to knock a girl up and not man up and take responsibility, to try and live large and piss away money on ostentatious nonsense as fast as they get it rather than managing it responsibly and so on - they go farther than just trying to look the part.[/b]

Quote your sources for these statements, please, otherwise we can assume you are just one of the many getting your information from general perception or slanted media.[/quote]
