But ill give u E for effort |
A)Thug does not equal black.
B)hip hop is not strictly black music.
C)I and many of my friends all of which are white used to go to
System. Some of my friends were thugs, completley; clothes, music, talk, style everything and all white all at the same time.
You are still not making the differentiation...you just get an E.

What have you seen exactly? Black boys with baggy pants? hats sideways? XXXXL shirts - I dont know where you live but in the city white boys, are wearing baggy pants with hats sideways, so are Filipinos, INdians, Italians, Sri Lankans, Greeks....
I would argue that initially "thugs" and the "thug mentality" was smoething that originated in poor parts of America, where rap music was becomming popular, the music fed off the stigma that was attached to the musicians, most of which were Black. THAT WAS A LONG TIME AGO. At the time, rap was thugs music, nowadays hip hop is as commercial as music gets, and has a following of people from all walks of life.
