Gangsta

In Gansta Culture by bell hooks talks about how young black males feel suppressed by the white man. Hooks goes into how the black males go to criminal motives to become an individual. Because working a normal job is considered weak and doesn't get your freedom from the white corporate world. Hooks incorporates Ice T.  using him explain why they go to crime because it has no requirements and anyone can do it. This definitely gives some value to what hooks is saying about black men. Another thing she incorporates Darwinism survival of the fittest and not carrying if they end up in jail or dead as long if they get paid at the end of the day.

  1. Hi Chris,

    I like how you have talked about how hooks uses her outside research. You identify her claim, "how young black males feel suppressed by the white man." You bring yo persons like Ice T and the concept of Darwinism survival. Think more critically about what value Ice T has with hooks's argument. You are almost there.
