Is it normal that my brother thinks he is a gangster?
My little brother is 16 and we grew up basically in suburbia. We experienced little to no hardship in our lives, our parents were great, Dad made good money, Mom took care of us well, so on and so forth. We're also white. German white.
I live on my college campus and I went home to visit for the weekend for the first time in months and wow. My brother is a gangster.
He wears the entire getup. Saggy pants, long shirts, expensive ball cap. He claims to represent Folk Nation (?????) and that is not the best part.
On my first night there, I got the pleasure of watching him get into it with my parents. We were all eating dinner (in other words, my first real, nutritious meal in months) and I didn't pay attention to him but he pissed my Dad off somehow and my Dad told him to "cut it out and eat your food". He said "I don't want to eat this shit" and my Dad told him not to talk like that in front of my Mother and he quickly got up, called us all "White, spoiled suburbanites" who have "no idea of what it means to live and struggle in the real world" and left the table after glaring at me for cracking up over his speech.
Is this what kids are doing now or is my brother a freak or what?
