We Teach Black Boys To Be Thugs
Black boys are subsequently taught how they should be as opposed to embracing who they are.
The influences from society, the streets, family life, peer pressures and the stereotypes of Black boys in school don't provide a safe space for them to simply be who they are.
We teach Black boys to be thugs and get made at them when they become one. Black boys are taught to fight instead of talking things out with each other.
"If someone hits you then you better hit them back and let them know you aren't a punk!" I've hear this every school year from Black boys who explain why they decided to hit someone at school.
This seems to be an universal lesson taught to Black boys that creates discipline problems at school.
