My Horrific Experience at Coachella
I was at a stage ready to see the rapper YG perform. First of all, he used to be apart of the Bloods and is very open about his gang affiliation. He centers his image around his affiliation with the gang and is known to have his crowd wear all red. Although I do enjoy his music, once he started performing, I was horrified when i realized I no longer was in a WGSS classroom and started to hear everyone sing the “N” word. As if they were tied to the history; as if they were black themselves, and as if they were apart of the Bloods as well. Overall, it was absolutely bazar seeing the people around me. One guy next to me was Asian and had a grill . The images these people are recycling are images that are expected of black people and are images other people decide to put on and take off when they please. Overall, we’re well aware there’s Black violence but choose to ignore it in order to enjoy certain things about “blackness”.
