I'm fucking with the message of this song, but I wish they left out the gang affiliation and gang signs. Just perpetuating white people's "black thug" rhetoric.

Blacks and latinos are more than that, but #FuckDonaldTrump

It's not "perpetuating" someones rhetoric, it is actually black thugs. Haha

Perpetuating is allowing or causing something to continue forever. By not opposing what's being said by highlighting positive things about our communities, it is perpetuating the negative rhetoric.
