Why is being a "gangsta" considered a good thing?

Beentheredonethat111: THANK YOU! Lol, sorry, it’s just that I totally agree, and didn’t expect a sympathetic post so quickly! EDIT: Theun4given, the above goes for you, too! EDIT2: …and I’m sorry you have to go through that, man.

Being a “GANSTA” isn’t cool. It’s like saying being “STUPID” is cool.

It’s not - it’s a terrible road in life to go down - dead end (pardon the pun).

…It ain’t a good thing at all. Its a bad thing. Why its a bad thing… -You could get shot -Could get stabbed -you’ll get mistaken for being in a gang -cops see you,you’re the first they are going to supect of commiting a crime -more likely to die at a younger age -dissapointment from family members (depneding if they accept tor not) -friends that hang out with you more likely to get killed (trust me) -more likely to get in fights -jumped in streets -teachers think your stupid Trust me it isn’t a good thing at all. I live this way everyday and its not fun.

being a gangster isnt cool it aint the sh*t to do. I’ve been livin that kinda life since I was about 11 , so about 6 years I dont want to be the way I am . but you have to relize that some times the way you are is the way you were raised. if you were raised in a good neighborhood and good home you got more of a chance. if you were raised in the streets with maybe one parent if your lucky homeless at 13 just livin the ruff life , the streets get to you and you gotta either tuffen up and become a “gangster” or end up dead . but even some of the people from the bottom make it up to the top . I don’t know if that helps any but there you go hope it helps.
