"the (disenfranchised) black male has no choice but to be cool" (the only reason why i put "disenfranchised" in parentheses is because using that to modify "black male" is almost redundant)

but word. i think we forget sometimes how different niggas are from the mainstream by default. how much, even after america has had a few hundred years to get used to us, we stick out on every level. if we weren't "cool" with that we'd be nervous wrecks.

from jake to likka store owners to admiring whiteboys, all eyes are on us. being comfortable with standing out is truely a necessity for black folks.
