1DX 3134

Seeing this late but a brilliant topic!At my junior high school in Los Angeles we’d alter the relay runners to turn the two runners with batons into cops with billy clubs, and the runner in front into a black guy with a big afro and a ghetto blaster in his hand.Oddly it never occurred to us that this was ra0t8i&#s23c;the black kids would do it too. I think we understood on some level, even at that age, that this was a commentary on the violent tactics of the LAPD.Anyway, very interesting discussion of adolescent folkways.
