I'm appalled at how so many of our youth and some supposed adults have taken to the gangster culture.
I hear on a daily basis, the base and ignorant utterings of this Madison Avenue devised culture, and have finally decided that i need to say something...
YOU ARE NOT A GANGSTER!
Gangsters are criminals, and the moniker "Gangsta" is an Afro-American term coined to represent a culture of poverty and crime... you're a middle-class teen who has never lived in a ghetto or the projects. You may perceive your lifestyle as poor, but...BUT... you are not a "Gangsta".
Real Gangstas talk the way they do because it is the common vernacular of their society... do you realize how bloody stupid you sound mimicking them?
You ape their mannerisms, dress like you're carrying a perpetual load of something in your pants, and act like you're a product of your environment...
I don't care that you listen to rap (I myself, accept that it is a form of musical expression, but refrain from listening to it due to it's violent and debasing lyrics)... you are NOT a Gangster!
You communicate with poor, even indecipherable slang that you spell even more atrociously.
You're NOT... I repeat...NOT... a "gangsta"
A ball cap was made with the brim to protect your eyes or your neck from the sun...
What is wrong with your own culture? Are you so clueless to your own family's heritage that you have to mimic criminals to get "Street cred"?
1: go buy some properly fitting pants
2: get rid of all your "bling" you look like a poor man's Mr. T... even more stupid if you're white
3: stop skipping class to hang with your "Homies" and actually learn how to spell the monosyllabic words at first, then graduate to grade two
4: stop being a sheep who follows the herd..sheep get sheared... and no one really cares about them
5: go take a public speaking course where you learn to enunciate your words
6: stop "pimping" your SUV... the only people who care about that are other morons who "Pimp" their 'rides"
Seriously, you all look like idiots, sound like idiots, and write like idiots... how do you ever expect anyone to have any respect for you if you don't respect yourself.
Originality is one thing, My generation had some moronic fashions... but once something is mainstream and people other than the originals are doing it... step back and think (If you can) about WHY the hell are you dressing and acting like an idiot?
I've been through the punk/metalhead/slacker phases, but realized, like many others, that being yourself doesn't mean taking on a label to fit in... I'm not stylish, nor am I a professional speaker... but I'm articulate and capable of carrying on a conversation with people and regardless of whether I'm a master of the topic of conversation or not... I, at least am not thought of as a moron from the opening statements...
Now go to your mom's place, apologize for being an idiot, tell your dad he was right... and pull up your bloody pants...I don't NEED to know where you buy your underwear.
