And here in lies a problem. You don't have to be cool, just be yourself, if you're naturally angsty/angry/a dick we'll read that an adjust to you, just be who you are. Same social rules apply as anywhere else as with black people. Don't come in peacocking unless you can take that crown from the peacock of the ground, don't disrespect the elders, and if you new to the group wait to see where someone fits you in rather than trying to get in where you feel you fit in.
