I think with the permeation of the California gangster/outlaw lifestyle on early 1990's rap (NWA) many easily influenced black men idolized these 9 feet tall seemingly bullet-proof guys who commanded respect, made money materialize out of nowhere and women swoon with a change of facial expression. Now there is a crop of "fake thugs" of all races who are taking on the outer personna of these guys but are as soft as grandma's cookies.

Many of them come from middle class homes or if it is a single parent home the mother is hardworking and often-times educated and he just insists as if he is from the projects and had to eat pine-sol with his cheerios.

Do you have any expierences with fake thugs?

Why do you think that this is become so attractive for young guys and the girls that are swooning after them?

Is this the theme that is at the heart of the new movie Alpha Dog?

I seem to be coming across an extreme amount of highly educated people with a complete lack of common sense. I wanna know if its something that is taught to us or is it a chemical in the brain that gives some of us what seems to be this unique quality?

As children we are taught certain thought process called core assumptions. We believe what we see, hear and what appears to be our reality. Who and what we become is directly influence by information generated in our minds. Thus for every action, there is a reaction

Depends on our perception
1) If we take them as commodity than Demand and supply governs it.So they get what they deserve?
2) i feel they are overpaid if we see the amount of effort they are putting.
