Why do Black Americans continue to make such a stupid image for themselves? They show no class or education when they garb themselves up in that apparel. I don't like to be racist but when they look like that no one is going to take them seriously. Even people in Africa find the way Black Americans portray themselves as humiliating.




Is this a rhetorical question or just one that makes generalizations. First Black Americans as a whole don't look like or dress themselves like that.. I rarely see them actually walk around town the mall or even the halls of my pretty typical American High School. I do frequently see kids attempt to try to imitate what they see on in the media, that white and black mostly a young persons thing. Some talk like they have no education and some don't but I am sure that all races have had members of their own paraded on TV or a magazine that was just as embarrassing.

Second I don't know how you think people in Africa are humiliating about it. I never actually talked to an African who indicated that they were humiliated. In my not many but more than one trip to Africa I saw African school children trying to dress more like Black Americans than any other foreign group. You may not be racist but painting a whole race of people residing in such a vast and diverse country with the same broad brush certainly upholds the image of one..but maybe I just painted you with the same brush.
