The Gangsta-thug …image and enthusiastic embrace of society’s stereotypes are the most pressing problem facing African-American males.
When they see you, it’s shameful that the hue of your skin defines who you are in the eyes of the world; (the police)for sure. (You are an abomination!)
And so…the rules of law don’t immediately pertain to you.
In most atrocious ways, you are guilty until proven innocent. Then again, that part…until proven innocent never comes into play.
Why? Because you fit the Gangsta-thug narrative! Therefore, there is no need to look elsewhere for the guilty other.
Perhaps, some of you have spent years in prison for a crime you never committed. In short, thirty years later, DNA proves…YOU WERE INNOCENT!
But…in the eyes of the prosecutor…
You were seen as suspicious. People distrust you because your black or brown skin and foreign accent make you difficult to understand.
So you are guilty as charged…the DNA lied!
It’s a shame…no matter how hard you work, you will never be given the same opportunities as your white counterparts.
For the most part, if you are from another country, you are a second-class citizen, and if you are black…you are a Gangsta Thug!
This blog post explores how words such as thug, thuggery, and thuggish are biased to stereotype Black people and other minorities based solely on their appearance or origin…rather than any real evidence of threatening behavior.
