Why do some blacks wear thugism as a badge of courage and then when things go bad for them they blame it on white folks.

For a white person to claim racial superiority over minorities these days is almost a social death sentence sir, and you know that. Keep drinking the kool-aid.
Watch some rap videos, and there you have thugism. the kids try to emulate these people and you also know this, dont deny it.

The only answer they have for their complete failure in society is that it is the White mans fault. Play the race card and play it often.

Why do some white wear thugism etc..?.....Only difference is that the media have branded it "red neck"/"white trash"/"trailer trash" etc.. instead of "thugism"..............Its a class thing, when you have nothing else to be proud of, then you latch on to what you can and be proud of that. Working class male culture has always been the same - regardless of time or race - its macho, violent, makes the middle classes worried, and more often than not involves a fair amount of criminal activity.........Same s**t, just with an MTV image to go with it these days........As for blaming "white folks" - again, its the same as ever - its just blaming the middle classes for the working mans struggle - working class white do it too, only of course they dont imply a racial element.......Not to deny that there is often a certain degree of casual racism towrds whites from working class blacks - but the same applies the other way round!
So in conclusion - its a class issue same as its always been - just that we have MTV here these days to brand it.

Probably because they are inferior and feel that they need to have some sort of "resistance" against the true skinhead society that fights the the ultimate goal of white supremacy and the Aryan race populating the entire face of the Earth... such a beautiful dream...

They try to instill fear by doing this, and unfortunately it usually works. I've witnessed it many times myself. I've been picked out (and picked on) by a group of blacks behaving in this manner more than once. I remember once a group of blacks was trying to intimidate me for walking through "their neighborhood". My car had broken down and I had one heck of a walk ahead of me. They were yelling all sorts of racial slurs at me (I'm white). I walked right up to their porch as if nothing was up and told them my car had broken down. They looked at me as if I was nuts, and one of them went and got me a phone. Several of them apologized and said they didn't mean what they were saying. Another time I was getting heckled and threatened in a Houston Kwik Shop parking lot. One of them made a threat on my life (there were maybe four or five of them - it's been a long time ago). I totally snapped and (with a ton of luck, I'm sure) knocked the fool out it a matter of a few hard punches. His "thug" friends all ran away. Pretty pointless, huh.

I'm sick of thugs too. It's never cool to hurt people... unless they really deserve it then it's really cool (catholic pri... I mean child rapists, serial killers, Osama Bin Laden) they all deserve a little pain. I don't care what color they are... thugs and gangbangers need to be stopped, I believe they are the worst terrorists we face as a country. They kill daily on our soil, and I am sure the numbers are far higher than 9/11.

It always lands them in prison eventually, then they will just be another statistic, I guess when they choose that life over college you don't get to wear good grades, accolades, and job promotions as badge of honors like useful members of society.

because to some "Blacks" utulize fear to gain respect which = power . just like some whites feel money = power.
ever hear about "corporate thugs".
And the only white people thugs fear is the police, another group of thugs that use fear to gain respect, which = power.

Same reason why whites wear their racial superiority as a badge and then when things go bad for them they blame it on black folks.

First of all, the thug culture is not limited to blacks. There are plenty whites, hispanics, asians, etc. who are also a part of this culture.
To answer your question, in "thug" culture, it's cool to be bad. I don't agree with this at all, but this is how they think.
