Why are UK black kids so attracted to the whole gangsta scene (USA style)?

Answer 1

May be insecurity.

Answer 2

OMG same thing happens in Australia - I hate it, Australia doesn't really know what it's like to live in the ghetto, sure there are some places that are pretty **** but not compared to some places in America. But yeah anywho, I find people want to fit into what's cool - but true gangstas have to survive on the street and look to their gangs like families. Most of these snotnose brats go home everynight to a warm bed, that's what really pisses me off -_-

Answer 3

For one it's not all black kids. And i feel maybe its because they feel like keeping there ways their way of living, seeing a large number of UK black kids are from the Caribbean, where you have to protect yourself a lot more. Plus it's not just black kids doing that,alot of white kids are going along with it as well, when they have no reason to.

Answer 4

because birds of a feather flock together is one reason. I'm black and live in america. I was a teenager way back when, but I never wanted to be like the early gangsters because they were getting killed. Gangsters live a good life, but most of them only for a short time, then they either get killed or caught. Back in the old days more people had HOPE, and LOVED their time on earth. Now more people are miserable and things seem more HOPELESS.

Answer 5

I my self think of its no longer in ordinary terms right here in united kingdom i only think of its around the international society has all long gone loopy , they spend all this time attempting to be wanna be like they primary rap artist etc . lots of the little ones do finally end up being effectively . coz you be attentive to its no longer in ordinary terms immediately's teenagers that are undesirable its constantly been there human beings only concealed it extra efficient. . yet immediately's teenagers have a voice and we the place the little ones that have been taught to be considered and not heard. all of us motivate our young little ones to be extra desirable than we've been and oh my god look what we performed . coz they defiantly are considered and heard. this is the sign of the circumstances and appears like its happening everywhere in the word. the international is getting smaller. and our issues have become greater.

Answer 6

Clearly because of the influence of "Goldie Lookin Chain" the true face of UK hip hop.

Answer 7

Because the whole lifestyle is glamourised by the peopl who can make money from it. Its horrible what the kids are looking up to in this day. Its all about who can get the best most expensive stuff. Who is the most toughest, its ridiculous.

Answer 8

the UK seems to be up Americas *** in every other sense so it's not surprising they've taken to the hip-hop gang bangin culture...... and also wasn't the UK recently rated as one of the worst places for children to be brought up

Answer 9

I actually find it's the white youth that try to impersonate this type of culture much more than black children... from what I've seen anyway.

I think it's amusing to hear white children put on some pseudo Jamaican accent (well they try to anyway!).

Answer 10

there are many "gang scenes"...not just the black kids...Check it out on line and see how many gangs there really are....you would be amazed that they have there own dress, colors, and languages...research it, I think you would find it quite interesting...But what you are saying sounds a bit bigoted, I am sure you don't mean it, but this is how it comes to sound...

Answer 11

its not all black people i thin nearly all the kids of the uk are like that including asians and whites, you cant just class black people in one box

oh and also becuz its cool ;)
