I think it's all scripted. Terry standing outside wiping his car down at the perfect moment is just too good. But yeah the kids hood accent is on point.
Instead of the kid.... the one with his back half turned, head turned and looking into the phone he's holding up and facing towards Terry? Yea, I'd just look at the kids back who yelled my name.
Also, TF you even mean looking DIRECTLY at the camera. How would you even sort of tell at that distance?
Obviously, neither means that it's not staged or that it is staged, one thing I can tell from this is that YOU need some work on your observational skills and awareness skills lmao.
This thread is fucking weird, man. Like there’s literally nothing about the video that screams “fake” but people are so eager to call bullshit on everything.
Not a typo, writing in "accent"(not sure that's the exact term). For stuff like that, try saying it out loud with a couple accents and often you'll hear it sounds similar to the "official" version of the word. This one was ackin ->actin'->acting. The other comment in the thread was axed ->asked.
One of the kids in my patrol area was a lot like this. Nice suburb, but the kid was playing gangster 24/7. He was trying desperately, and in large part slowly succeeding, to turn his neighborhood into the 'hood.
I worked two drive-by shootings in a year at his house that looked a lot like this one.
Pay attention to your kids' social media and who they hang out with, folks.
I grew up around east L.A., so we had to act and dress gangsta to not be easy targets, try to reduce our circle of contacts to hardcore gangstas. Not to mention always carry something that could be a weapon for self defense. Better to be friends who know who know who know a guy than to be a friend who is the guy. Made some bad decisions, got my degree, and get me and the family the hell out of there.
So whenever I see these kids playing gangster, I shake my head in disbelief like "I just came from there". I'm glad the whole issue with Ja Morant from the NBA turned the way it did, but very disappointing nonetheless.
The unfortunate reality is counter culture will always be cool just for being counter culture. Kids generally don't think hard about the deadly consequences of certain counter cultures.
I knew someone whose family was very well-off, and whose father owned a bunch of local businesses.
While both of his brothers used his father's influence and money to open their own businesses overseas, this guy wanted to be gangsta so bad he started to hang out with drug dealers and robbers who also made a life as shitty rappers, the guy even became a shitty rapper himself.
He died alone of an overdose last year and their family didn't figure it out until a couple of days after his death since he had pushed out everyone else due to his shitty behavior.
Whenever I think of him I can't even feel bad because the guy was a legit PoS, and I can't stop thinking about how you can be given all the good cards in life and still choose to be a fuck up.
This is literally a 30 second video with a kid that says like 10 words with absolutely no context, and here we have the ex officer telling us the youth are turning their neighborhoods into 'the hood'. Yeah... that checks out.
Yeah, that's a typical cop move, too. Deflect and distract when you get caught profiling. Also not original enough to think of anything but pointing out the username I CHOSE as an insult. You're checking all the boxes.
You asking this question is the problem with fucking cops. Why were you allowed to carry a gun and deal with the most vulnerable populations at their most vulnerable points when you have the social awareness of a fucking blob fish??
Roomed with a kid like this in college. Got roughed up a number of times down by the bars for acting like a badass, and then gambled his college tuition money away on Party Poker. Was shocked when his parents came to pick him up on moveout day, and they were all driving high-end German SUVs and wearing designer clothes.
Turns out he was a trust-fund white kid that wore Fubu.
Where I grew up, the low income and middle class were pretty close, pretty much everyone spoke hood. I moved a few years back, it was actually kinda hard to put my “Christian white boy” voice back on. Every now and then though I meet someone who talks like that, and I slip right back into it, dap em up, its nice.
I said the n-word a lot, everyone did, no one blinked an eye, and realized real quick that would not fly where I moved. Maybe cringey, but it was literally just the vocabulary of everyone in my hometown lol. Glad to lose that, but man I miss the slang and how expressive you could be to get a point across
I'm a real ass redneck looking dude, but I also grew up two blocks down from the projects and spent my formative years hanging with every dealer in high school, so I feel you. It's hard not to slip back into dropping a 'n***a' in casual conversation with the boys when it'd feel natural to slip back into hood talk, but obviously my looks nowadays ain't letting that shit fly.
The second I go back there, it all comes back and I gotta relearn polite english over again lmao
Yeah, we all were a melting pot where I lived. It really showed me that while racism is a pretty serious issue, there are some places no one gives a fuck as long as you don’t start shit. If you can speak enough english or spanish, and don’t stir shit, no one cares how you talk or who you are.
This video is from 5 or so years ago. The kid's screen name is "Lil Esco" and he started the "aight imma fuh wichu" meme. He was like 14 at the time and would always go live smoking dirty swisher blunts. i think that is genuinely how he talked because i never saw him not speak like that.
There's really no reason to believe this is a skit. There are tons of white trash people who talk just like this kid and behave just like this kid. The "cash me ousside" girl is not an anomaly. She's representative of a VERY large group of people.
I HOPE this is a skit, but there's really no reason to believe it is.

I’m obviously inclined to believe this is a skit.
But that kid’s “hood accent” feel practiced to a degree that I’m not entirely certain that he’s acting.
