Do we really send the wrong message?

Do we really send the wrong message?
Posted By: Keith Baldwin on July 20, 2005


I was out the other night chillin wit my boys and its not a surprise if someone stops to speak or whatever but this one girl just gave me the craziest look. She finally came up to me and asked what I was doin. I said I was just chillin , Y?, She said "dont u think it wrong to be runnin the streets foolin with drugs and hustlin and all dat, it's time fo yall to do some with your life. I ALMOST FLIPPED ON DIS BROAD!!!!!!! But I stayed cool. I let her know that I was just spendin time with friends as much as I can because I leave for school Aug. 10 for SSU.



I let her know I wasn't all into the drug game like she thought. I asked her why she thought I was some kinda street hustler. She said because of the way I dress and the car I drive. WELL, I know I like to wear jerseys,baggy jeans, and all that but damn, I can't be fresh or whatever. Then she said my cars. I have a couple of cars. The 87 cutlass aint all that but clean, but the 84 Chevy Monte Carlo is fresh with the new paint and Rally Rims. It's the typical DOPE BOY kind of style. But tell me, are we sending the wrong message because we look a certain way. Are women turn off by "street niggas". Its never been a problem before but what are yall thought.
