I too read the article and found it rather amusing. "In my opinion" there is something that is not right about the author's recollection of his venture into the african american community. First of all if the author was as smart as he tries to appear, especially if he is as "naive" as he says he is, why was he in the forbidden hood at 2am. Violence doesn't just happen on the NE side of OKC and all thugs and gangsta's aren't black. I imagine that the author is searching for a certain audience to help poke fun at the community, it didn't work, it makes him appear to be really stupid (future OU grad - go Sooners!!!!). His story really isn't about race, it's proclaiming one's own self inflicted ignorance. I personally don't believe this is his first trip over to Bobo's. Perhaps there is some jealousy, could it be those fancy rides that the so called black gangsta's and their beautifuly african princes' are riding in, could it be something that these kids have that Mr. Author doesn't? Perhaps so.
Hey Mr. Author, "curiousity killed the cat" not the gangstas, be careful where you let jealousy and ignorance lead you. Don't be a hater!!!!
This author has his own issues. He must have had to ingest quite a bit of cocaine, oxycontin and meth, after downing a keg of Bud, in order to muster up the nerve to take his naive, lily white self, into the scary black community. He and his buddies must have been floating real high, because not only did they muster up the balls to go into the blackhole of a gangsta hood, but the author even had the balls to boast about him and his buddies going onto the oklahoma state capitol steps to wolf down their ethnic ghetto treats at 2am. If any african young man or woman is caught on the capitol steps at this time of morning, claiming to be eating Bobo's chicken with their pals, they'll be talking about it behind the bars at the county jail. Lastly, this article landed in the community and spread like wildfire, let's pray that this author's self proclaimed ignorance of an african american community and culture doesn't make it difficult for future visits of non african american patrons. I've visited Bobo's myself (AA female), I'm not a thug or a gangsta and I don't have thug/gangsta friends but I've seen many white young men and women patronizing Bobo's (afterhours) without a problem, more or less without the look of fear on their faces, unlike the author and his buddies. Again, this author is a wannabe, gangsta fake and this ain't his first time to da hood!
