Real ? . You just gotta understand their ? up language. They don't hate you because you 'dress like a thug', or 'because you're ghetto' or because of 'your hip hop mentality'. They hate you because YOU'RE BLACK!!!! -
Geraldo needs to be violently reminded that, in the eyes of these white folks, he ain't ? but a ? with a TV show.
Maybe one of his sons needs to be on the receiving end of "vigilante justice" for walking while brown.
I hate that it'll take some ? like that for him to see it, but that's probably what it's going to take. -
The way we see you is you either dress white or dress like a thug. Unfortunately there is no middle ground in our eyes

lol fool, thats how thugs dressed in the 20's, the honest everyday working man was too broke to afford a suit like that, they werent getting that extortion, racketeering, heroin, and bootleg liquor money like that...the 'thugs' in the suits were smh -
thug wear?
These look like a hoody, and some kind of skinny khaki or something.

The way people tried to demonize Trayvon is one of the worse aspects of this case. It's like many people -- white people especially -- think that if they could only prove that he was on the way to becoming a thug, then all of his rights went out of the window.
That said, there were signs that Trayvon was headed for trouble. He went from this
to this
and developed an interest in guns, fighting, weed, and stolen goods along the way.
There is something about black male identity in this country that makes Travyon's apparent trajectory quite common. Unless all of the factors that contribute to this are addressed, black men will not rise up. This will mean that young black men must repudiate this identity.

REGUARDLESS OF CLOTHING.. YALL STILL SEE US AS ? ..ARMANI SUIT OR NOT

Since when is someone's appearance justification for shooting them?
Nonsense. -

Was thinking the same thing, but not just Chicago...all around really. I understand nigguhs being mad about the case outcome.....hell I was mad myself, but the reality is that young black men are dying everyday in our own neighborhoods at the hands of people who look just like us. ? is sad all across the board. And "dress like a thug?"....really white people just need to say wtf they mean...ie "he's black". -

Yeah they tried everything in the book to assassinate his character. Nevermind the fact that he was barely 17. How much dumb ? has 99.9% of american done at that age?
Wait that's right, white people don't smoke weed, post middle finger pics, take pics with gun, steal. Nope they're model citizens
The irony of the most ruthless race of people in history calling anybody a violent thug -
he dresses like a dude that steals gas caps... shoot on sight... -
If he was white boys will be boys.. and he would have a chance to flourish and grow

Theses people are the true savages so what do yall expect them to say? Billy Bob could of been walking through the same neighborhood with the same demeanor wearing the same exact ? and nobody would of said anything about him looking like a thug. This is the classic ? line of reasoning people use to hide their true beliefs that a black life is worthless. ? these animals yo

Even if he was a thug....what right do u have to chase him with a gun while he's walking up the street?

White people are not out there thugging, or even adopting the persona of a thug, like we are. That's a fact -- a fact they created, but a fact nevertheless.
Anyway, all I'm saying is that we (not me personally, but young black men) have to look in the mirror at the kind of identity we encourage black men to adopt. And don't reply saying it is all about poverty. It's not.
