I'm getting hella downvoted because the tech scene in the Bay Area can't appreciate the various strata of culture that surrounds them. Since they're afraid of it they group it all together as "gang culture" which is a myopic viewpoint. It's Oakland culture not gang culture it just so happens that a subset of Oakland culture interpenetrates gang culture.

Haters gone hate.

That is the irony of progressive thinking: they are constantly torn between saying "Black people don't really do X" and "X is completely fine, people just look down on it because of racism".

In this case, X = "driving a car around in circles" or "a vibrant and expressive form of performance art", depending on what kind of progressive you are :)

a progressive who listens to Keak Da Sneak In da building feeling like YEEE! R.I.P. to tha Mac Dee Are Eee!
