When I was in high school I was once seated in a McDonalds waiting for the afternoon bus to take me home after football practice. My friend, a large black kid, was sitting with me. He was wearing a full length leather coat.
By all accounts, he was a good looking guy and the full length coat made him look bad ass.
Two bumpkins from out of town were downtown attending a concert. I heard one of them say to the other—as they pointed at my friend—”Look, he must be a pimp.”
WE had a good laugh at that. This guy ended up going to West Point, doing 10 years in the Army, and another 20 in the reserves, and at the same time doing 25 years as a State Trooper. Hardly a pimp—and probably more of a conservative patriot than many of the people frequenting this site.
I bring that up because your comment about gang membership sounds just as ignorant.
You really need to spend more time around young people in this country. Sure, they dress like fools. But they are not all fools.
You’re kidding, right?
My story was SO outrageously stereotypical and paralleled the subject matter posted - it HAS to be impossible for anyone not to be able to detect it as parody.
I’m wondering if you thought “This is Spinal Tap” was about a real heavy metal band? Or if “Airplane” was a documentary?
He was joking.
