The Miseducation of Hip-Hop Discrimination in Education, English Comp II Week 4 Blog

In this article it explains how far we have come and how things have changed.  I think everyone has the right to dress as they choose.  Unfortunately, society will not judge you accordingly.  For instance if you were the owner of a bank and someone came in to borrow money to buy a house what answer would you give them if they came dressed that way?  Would you take them as a responsible and serious person?  You might not but I probably wouldn’t either.  They way we portray ourselves should be accordingly, there is a time and a place for certain things and they way we look is very important.  He goes on to explain the difference between today’s students and their parents, and teachers treating all the students as trouble makers. The way they dress the same just because they represent a type does not make them bad students.  The way teachers see rap music is as it being vulgar and not all of it is necessarily negative in its message some is positive.   The pressure of being an individual and not follow in the footsteps of the rappers as that might just be a persona and not the reality of who they really are.
