When people look around downtown SF all they see are black men who are:bums,drug dealers,drug addicts,thugs and of course since I look like them I am stigmatized.
Unfortunately many non-blacks think blacks are the stereotypes that are popular in the media and some that WE continue to foster.
Its disgusting....
Ive never been arrested.....work.......dont pimp ho's......speak very good english........
So where do I fit into all of this?
Anyone who lives in a big city KNOWS how blacks are stereotyped.
People like lil kim DONT help the situation they HURT it.
