The AA community has not done itself many favors where it comes to what it promotes as "AA culture" - when you have AA youth emulating along the lines of many popular icons, getting tatted up and dressing gangsta, talking ghetto, acting hard, and along with it, propagating the ideas in the music and elsewhere, of glorified violence, crime, misogyny and promiscuity, and self-indulgence in all things material.   If a youth acts, talks, dresses like that, the perception is *never* going to be positive, regardless of whether that youth is actually from a low-SES background, or if he's upper-middle class from suburbia (and they do it) and it ultimately ends up at best perpetuating and at worst worsening the perceptions, thereby collectively dragging all AA youth down.

Perceptions aren't always reality but perceptions often end up being what the battles are won and lost on. [/quote]

Have you conveniently forgotten all the white kids who have embraced the tat culture from neck to toe. What about the white kids who have embraced heavy metal and the goth look. The white kids walking around talking all ghetto and trailer trash with their beer cans and snuff. The videos on MTV that promotes misogyny and promiscuity.

Heck, white girls make sex tapes and get their own reality shows, indulging in all things material. If a white youth acts, talks dresses and talks like that, well we can all assume that they are representative of the entire race. That is, that all white girls are cheap talking whores who desire to make their own sex tapes so they can become the next next infamous reality star. [/quote]
