I see many African American males walking around Washington DC that look like extras from a BET (Black Entertainment Television) Music Video. They have all the characteristics of a person into HOP HOP and Gangsta Rap. While it is there right to dress like this, cop that attitude and play that part because it may make them look cool to some of the kids in school, they have no right to complain about racial discrimination, or do they?
And based on their style of dress, just how do you think they deserve to be regarded? Please elaborate...this should be good.
If someone purposely looks and dress's like a moron they should be treated as such..........not to be taken serious, respected or given any credibility, all of which are not very compatible with employment,hmmmmmm, maybe there is a connection.

I care less about how anyone is dressed but behavior is another matter. Hostile, disrespectful, harassing, obnoxious... this is a very long list of adjectives.
Answering your thread heading-- yes, antagonistic behavior not only perpetuates racist stereotypes, but is a brand of racism unto itself. Hip Hop by any other color would be called storm front boogie or KKK two step.
