How come young african americans who act ghetto just don't get the fact that people stereotype them for being ghetto?
So Iets take two people, who are black. Dress one up in nice preppy clothing who speaks intelligently. Then dress one up in a hoodie and baggy clothes. Have both walk in a store. The black man who is dressed nice in a sweater and dress slacks will be treated better than the black guy who looks like a hoodlum.
Then the black guy who looks like a hoodlum will complain they are racially profiled even though they look like a troublemaker.
Why don't people like him get that your appearance is what attracts stereotypes. Not the color of your skin.

That's because on TV, the only black people who act as role models are fool rappers who act ghetto and sing stupid songs about violence, sex, drugs etc and keep convincing them that they are being discriminated against instead of encouraging them to rise above it all to become respected members of society. You never see respectable black people like Philip Emeagwali, Patricia Bath, Mae Jemison who would make good role models for black people on TV.

they are still BOTH black, they are both part of the exact same racial community. only one superficially behaves according to white mannerism white and speaks a white language properly...the other doesnt.
the racial hatred towards the rest of us is such that you and me and everyone else ARENT supposed to see a difference between that ghetto behavior and ANY other behavior
when you do, thats the "racist" thing, thats the "stereotypical" thing...you arent "supposed" to see a difference between someone who acts ghetto and one who doesnt... they are just as "nice" and "intelligent" and "capable" and are in no way whatsoever different from anyone else. its just a different culture...its "black culture".
THAT is how the words racism and stereotyping are now abused and what is really be spoken of when black racist animals and politically correct hatemongers ***** and moan at the unfairness of it all.
