... the other Black experience
Getting called a 'Jerk'?
Anyone else get this? Seriously it annoys the hell outta me. Ever since those guys came out with that jerk kids with all the black kids dressed like hipsters. Skate shoes, big glasses, ironic t-shirts, and worse of all the levi 511.
Going to a school where like 80% of the kids are black, I hear alot relating to this. Super irritating as I've had this Vans Authentic VNeck and Skinny Jean Fetish for like 2 years, especially since I started riding fixies. Now they think I'm just doing a bad impersonation of those Jerk kids (because I don't have the mr. T starter kit, super clean looking vans (I hate fresh looking shoes), and because I wear skinny jeans the way they are supposed to fit, not 8 sizes big and sagging(seriously they do this)
I just went with contacts for a while, instead of my thick rimmed glasses.
Anyoneelse have this?

I TOTALLY know where you're coming from! it was "gay" 2 be different.
Haiqeem said:I second that! Supposedly, wearing skinny jeans and black band tee-shirts and having a non-defiant mind of my own was deemed as "unnatural" and in the interest of "homosexuals"; then all of the sudden everyone in my midst is clearly attempting to poorly replicate my teenage style. Good luck to them.

I think we all went through that at some point and time.
I had people call me a 'scene nigger' because my lip ring is pierced and I listen to Dance Gavin Dance.
Then I got flamed and called a poser lol
Although I know more about the music then the tatted up trend following kids. I still get that, although I dislike labels, I can't say I care.
No point in proving myself for what I am.
But I feel you.
Know what irks me?
How nerd is a trend now, when back in the 3rd grade I got my ass kicked for it.

I have no idea how nerd is a trend now. I really don't-and it pisses me off too.
Probably because people began to realize that looking smart and being smart might have a correlation.
I also really despise it when people think I'm "acting/talking white". It's kinda ignorant.
The only thing you can do is educate people to know better.

Yep, they look like tools. Good Charlotte has more cred than those two guys.

then again, i KRUMP, and people think thats stupid
but krumping is all about raw energy
and releasing anger and aggression positively in a non violent way
Jerkin just looks like a really bad river dance
dont get me wrong,
i wear chucks, fitted jeans, and v-necks too
but i'll be damned if i come out the house lookin like an easter egg
