Although the majority of the people who wear this attire are black, the majority of black (that I see) do not wear or even like the attire. Contrary to popular belief, all black people are not the same and do not like the same things. Quite frankly, I am (and know many black people) that are disgusted by the image and how it reflects me/them (because other can’t detach it from the entire race). Also contrary to popular belief, all white people are not the same. That urban thug image could easily be equated with the gothic image that many white people portray. Are you comfortable with that image? I would easily find a picture of a white gothic person and say that they are acting white (because the majority of people wearing that style are white).
Sorry for the book.
