Bruv that parking lot next to that McDonald's is a jackboys dream
When I was younger there was a dude that used to sell AKs out his trunk for $800-$1000 Sat nights at the McDonald’s :/
I’m from the area but also went to school away so I had both experiences. It didn’t hit me till this thread that when I was in NC we def thought of the local ppl as strange and lame (not to mention we were athletes so had an extra layer of inherent arrogance) but it never occurred to me that Howard students would’ve thought the same about me and my friends
But yea, the problem is that from the teens to young college kids, none of y’all ever seen ppl that look like you but don’t “act” like you. Like “strange” style of clothes, weird slang, just the normal things us adults are used to being around different people from diff cities, but it’s a culture shock going into a store at 19 and seeing and hearing a black dude from Texas or Cali or Wisconsin with that “different is lame” or “different is the enemy” mentality I know for a fact myself and a lot of my friends had, without even knowing we had that.
It’s too much to type here, and it’s sad - but taking my mind back 20+ years to 19 and I saw the same things happen, saw something worse on Howard’s campus that would blow the internet away, there were just no phones to record it. Again, I’m saying it sad, but as a college breh, kicked out of school back to the hood breh, and back to college breh, I’ve been on all the sides.
