This morning on the way to work, I passed by a black couple in a car. Both seats were reclined back as far as they could go. The driver could barely see over the steering wheel from his reclined position. However, was operating the car in this fashion. It did not look very safe.
This seems to be common in the black community. So, why do so many black people recline in their cars like this?
Secondly, I do not understand the whole wearing big baggy pants that are falling off of your backside.
The perception among racist whites is that black people do not work very hard, and that most are on welfare.
Don't these things perpetuate this stereotype? To recline in the car in such an unsafe manner, looks lazy, like they can't sit up straight. And to wear baggy pants, again, looks like one is too lazy to pull the pants up?
Your thoughts?
I do not consider myself to be racist...but, by thinking these things, am I?
