you were asked to draw a self portrait... thats not just a picture of how you look, but it should also portray you deeper than your physical appearance...
you drew an image of yourself in a bandana and chose to write the phrase "thug life" next to it. in doing so, you portrayed yourself as a "gangster" which you even said yourself... you are clearly not.... there is nothing skiing related in that picture....
therefore, you did not do the assignment. you drew an image that was perhaps how you wish to be portrayed. but not actually you. i realize that the image was inspired somewhat by your sense of humor, but then u go on to defend your drawing as art and self expression. so you ARE a gangster now?
maybe this is a chance for you and most of ns to realize how rediculous and foolish this whole "gangster" fad is... in an upper class, predominantly white activity.
haha now this is about fighting for your rights and the government?
your white and fighting for your right to dress and act like a minority that your ancestors have treated as animals for hundreds of years?
so you see it as your chance to "dress up" like black people because they cant afford to get on the ski hill and shoot down this racist mockery?
ahhhhh i finally understand...
i wasnt saying that...
he said he was safe on the ski hill from the conseqences that would occur if he acted the same way in a different setting... say... a black community. but i doubt he was referring to a wealthy one....
