Yes, they are the lowest scum of the earth.
You don't understand, everything is twisted, they have no idea what they're doing. Ghetto culture has permeated schools to the point socially unacceptable behavior and appearances has become the tool to fight "conformity". Also, many have become to dull to understand conformity, and instead do it because they are starved for attention, because everyone gives theirs to a tube or a famous face. Teachers today call Jefferson an extremist, and Tupac a courageous voice for freedom, which tickles the ears of kids that are stuck in school.
They think by imitating ghetto culture and displaying street [jungle] ethics they are showing their individuality, increasing their social standing, and supporting a good cause, which is hating white people for their culture, mannerisms, and color of skin.
