I saw a video of some Rappers visiting MLK Jr's grave with their 2x to large shirts and their pants around their damn ankles.. I wish they'd have enough respect to dress up, wear their hat normally, or not backwards, or not at all, and show some damn respect. Especailly when they talk about "earning it"
As much as I dislike RAP music, it is all that some people know. I don't mean that offensively either. Kids that grow up in neighborhoods like East LA and Compton grew up on this style of music and no matter how you or I feel about it, it's not wrong or
ab-normal. To some people, 'normal' is different from what you think it is. A sports jersey and certain brand of jeans IS dressing up to some people. A certain players jersey, crisp and clean, IS being respectful in some areas of our country. Just because you, or I, don't approve of it, doesn't make it wrong.
Your entire statement is dangerous. You may not understand it or even know how offensive this statement could, and probably does, come off to a person who falls in the category of "they" but you should be looking back at yourself and asking what your motivation for posting a statement like this is. It's mentality like this that causes unfortunate and un-necessary situations, no matter how unintentional. Think before you react so candidly.
