I'd be REAL interested to know why they have been referred to as "thug" or "gangsta" jackets. It seems that when people are unaware of certain traditions or customs they get labeled in a negative manner.
These are the same kinda people who grew up listening to Tupac and other rap, yet admittingly didn't meet a person of color (or maybe only met a few) until they left their hometown (rich white towns).

Hence, they try to internalize the bits and pieces of the culture that they think gives them some type of aura of machismo, but they fail to realize the history and background behind it.

So at the same time, they talk abut how they don't understand why certain people of color act a certain way, yet will buy into the poppiness and marketablility of it.

These people also consider cultural greeks more like gangs.

I can't change people's minds about stuff anymore, and people are too stubborn these days for me to even try.

You can't or you won't? No one can save the world but you can hit them with a brick called education!

I'm amongst a crowd of damn near 10,000 (30,000 students at SDSU, I know not all of SDSU parties, but let's say that #, seems like a good %) people whose biggest priority is getting drunk till they don't remember the previous night's events and getting laid by dumb coke whores...why should I bother trying to educate them?

Besides, apathy takes it's toll, and when you try to educate someone, the response is "whatever". They don't want out of their perfect little bubble.

and "whatever" is a trigger word for me.

Alright. At least you are honest about your limitations.

Here's the story of a coug named jim
Who was trying to bring fun back online.
He had hair of gold, like his mother,
And always had a great time.

Here's the story, of a group named death squad,
Who claimed to be fun on their own,
They were seven men, and a den mom,
Yet they were all alone.

Till the one day when they realized the cougar has more fun
And they knew it was much more than a hunch,
That this group would somehow be disbanded.
That's because the Harem is way cool.
The Harem is way cool,

That's because the Harem is way cool.
The Harem is way cool.

Just leave it alone. Cause then they'll eventually get mad at you for "pulling the race card."

What kind if Death Squad id this?

Is the Death Squad based on the Einsatzgruppen or the groups in Guatemala, Columbia and El Salvador?

Was this group formed to "assassinate" those with views that are contrary to those of the "Squad"?
