Why do these "youths" insist on showing off their underwear? I'm very fuzzy on that. It looks ridiculous, makes them look like thugs, and just sets them up as targets for the police.
Why not make your life a little easier and dress like you're NOT a thug?
Because that's what it's about - stating allegiance to a certain lifestyle and set of values. It is deliberate.
Second, a least of few of them have been convinced that they are being "political" - often, by white neo-liberals. This group sees "racism !!!!" everywhere yet are most often astonishingly racist themselves. Their own denial just lends impetus to the whole cycle.
I just don't get how they don't want to conform to the norms of society. And then they complain when problems arise. When I was a teen I wore my hair long, sported a beard and mustache and wore blue jeans all the time. I soon found out as I entered the adult word that continuing to dress, act, and groom myself as a teen would not get me far at all.

So wearing long hair, or a beard and moustache will not get you far in life. lmao.
These articles are click bait. Since all newspapers post online, news publishing isn't making much money. Internet advertising still doesn't pay what news organizations are used to. So websites are now desperate to find shocking, provacative news.
Lately it's always innocent Black angel is wrong by the cops. Only at the end of the article will they put that the person had a rap sheet longer than I am tall (over 6 feet here).
The cops will usually be acquitted anyway in cases like these, even if the cops were truly in the wrong.
As noted, news media outside cable tv and radio isn't doing well. They've got to get their clicks, so they come up with the most outrageous titles and sensationalize it to the max. It's getting to the point where I often don't bother clicking on these articles anymore. Why should I contribute to this stupidity?
In order to get clicks, some writers are demonizing police and presenting criminals as perfect little black angels!
100% agree.
