it’s so wild how black youth aren’t allowed to have rebellious phases because it’s assumed once we display any sort of criminal behavior that’s all we’re ever going to amount to
meanwhile white kids damn near be doing 5 stars in grand theft auto shit and it’s chalked up to teen angst instead of genetics
it’s not fair and I hate it
That’s not even true in the slightest
It is true, and there is absolutely a double standard that disadvantages black teens by painting their behavior as inherent character flaws instead of teen antics. Anecdotes of some white teens being treated like criminals or breaking this norm doesn’t account for larger sociological trends of widespread systemic prejudice against black youth.
