Like white kids trying to pretend 'they grew up in the hood'

I get what you're saying, but that isn't from a stable family. If you're ONLY looking at a financial status point then yes, they were stable. But from an authority point, a lot of them grew up without proper restrictions so are acting out now to have something to push against.

Part of being a good role model is putting restrictions in place to teach when you need to evaluate a situation.
