Beyond Race: How ‘Thug Life’ Culture Gets Good Kids Killed (VIDEO)
https://www.thegatewaypundit.com ^ | Apr. 7, 2025 | Grant Stinchfield

The stabbing of Frisco, Texas high school football standout Austin Metcalf didn’t happen because of race, it happened because to many young black men are quick to embrace “the thug life” mentality. While some are quick to frame this as a story about race, we take a deeper look at the underlying cultural influences shaping young minds today.

This isn’t about black versus white—it’s about the dangerous glorification of violence, street credibility, that’s pulling too many young Black men into cycles of conflict, violence and crime. The left is shockingly to quick to defend the accused murderer, painting Karmelo Anthony as a victim too. Go Fund Me pages created in We ask the hard questions: How did we get here, and what can be done to change the narrative?

” This isn’t about black versus white…” Oh, yes it is. It’s also black against Jew, black against Asian, black against Hispanic.

While race was probably at least part of this guy’s motivation, Grant makes a good point about the general disregard for life among black, street thug culture that goes beyond just race. These thugs are often just as quick to kill each other over a perceived insult as this dirtbag was in killing Metcalf. You see it all the time. It’s glorified in the music they listen to, and it’s too often coddled and tolerated by our judicial system.

Intimidate Teachers.

Intimidate local authorities. Intimidate School boards.

I think so many believe it’s working for them. There’s a Video of a guy one inch from the face of a Chicago Police officer, and the Thug is yelling that he’s going to Kill him, over and over. Police did nothing.

Puh-lease. Black Culture was created by blacks. It has everything to do with race. We make fun of wiggers for pretending to be black, and vice versa. Everyone knows they are affecting racial behaviors.

I have a black neighbor in his early 20’s with a girlfriend who I recently saw wearing his pants below the waist where you can see his underwear. THAT is such a stupid look!

Imagine how many people would be alive today if Obama wanted to fundamentally transform ghetto culture instead of fundamentally changing the US.

“There is another class of coloured people who make a business of keeping the troubles, the wrongs, and the hardships of the Negro race before the public. Having learned that they are able to make a living out of their troubles, they have grown into the settled habit of advertising their wrongs — partly because they want sympathy and partly because it pays. Some of these people do not want the Negro to lose his grievances, because they do not want to lose their jobs.”

― African-American educator, author, orator, and advisor (1856-1915)
