As you well know, many young and old punks from this community have been taught to eschew any involvement in the modern world (which they define as the White man's world...remember Jeremiah Wright's hatred of "middleclassedness" and Derrick Bell's revolution against the inherent racism of western civilization).
A bad "tude" is what gives these punks street cred. Many are so feral, there is NO chance of reforming them.
