Why do you sag your pants, carry guns, and always act violent?
While Black ‘thugs’ and ‘hustlers’ exist, the reality of the American-American thug is highly exaggerated. American media is great at feeding and then exporting poor behaving African Americans to African Americans themselves, Americans, and then the world.
But, first, just like Africans have their share of thugs, so do African-Americans. Second, not all African Americans behave in this way. Third, ‘hood’ behavior – ie. sagging pants etc – does imply that that African Americans are inherently bad or violent people as some Africans falsely conclude.
