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?

  • Smack that wigger in the head and call him a punk bitch. As a proud black man, I hate when whitey steals my culture.

  • Does he have a car? If so, slice his tires and pour sugar in the gas tank. Afterwards, grab his bike and set it on fire. Then break into his room, and steal all his shit.

    Once you're done with that, grab some red spray paint, and in large letters on the side of his car write "VICE LORDS" this should scare the shit out of him.

    If not, then pay 15 big ass black dudes to beat him up.

    A lot of suburban white kids think they're African-American tough guys from the ghetto.

    About the food bit: What the fuck? Only a spoiled white suburbanite would give up his dinner. Tell your brother that he's acting like a tool, and that he needs to get his shit together.

    Your brother is a teenager. I was hanging out at the cemeteries and writing vampire poetry, he has his own definition of idiotic teenage rebellion.

    A. -It'll pass.
    B. -If he really gets on your nerves take him to a real ghetto and leave his gangsta ass without cash, phone and a way to get home. The downside of this, he might not make it, but if he does, the whole gangsta bullshit will be over istantly.

  • Yes. These kids think they witness or experience "real life problems", when in fact they have it easier than the parents, because they don't even have to work for their money.

    Tell him "You are not a gangster. You get all your supplies from your daddy, and you have not experienced any of these problems, because you have not been forced to and don't need to".

    Sounds like identity crisis. He seems to infer that to "live" and "struggle" in the real world is to peddle drugs and shoot up people who wear different colors than you. That's not living in the real world. It is struggling, but it's struggling brought upon by choice. Unfortunately, he has convinced himself that that is reality.

    Your little brother is just full of shit right now and he'll grow out of it (hopefully).

    Apparently it's not cool to be white middle-class any more. Leave him in the hood for 5 minutes and then ask him how he likes living with his 'people' in that shit hole.

    He's rebelling and finding whatever he thinks is going to annoy your family. You could be all cool and everyone ignore it, but then he's only going to look for the next thing that'll work. You've got to let him think he's a rebel, even if he's just playing up. For his own good.

    Wannabe thug brat. He should be ashamed of himself! Nit only is he emulating thug-culture, but he's a poseur. Only a spoiled person would give up good food in that manner, while others go hungry. He talks about the struggle, yet I doubt he would do anything to help those who are truly living through the struggle. What an annoying little brat. I honestly would disown him. I can't stand people who behave like that.

    Who has he been hanging with? If he chills with "gangstas" or in a bad neighborhood, he may have some insight on hardship but I find it crazy that he is so upset about it. He should become an activist not a "gangsta" if others hardships bother him so much.

    I thought about "Leave It To Beaver" when I read this, and Beaver wants to be gang related.
