I work with kids who are a part of that culture, innocent kids who are human beings just like you and me. They laugh, they cry, they have dreams. It kind of hurts me that you've basically said that they're criminals just because they're apparently not of the same culture as you.
Also, just curious: if you saw a white person doing all of that, would you think they were thugs also?

It's not about race. Nor am I white, so don't think I'm biased towards races of darker shades. A lot of the people dress like that are usually trying to follow one of their rap idols. Are 50 Cent or Eminem not thugs?
