Honestly, I say no, but it could. I was taught not to view the world that way, and I am pretty sure this kid (and others like him) were not either.

It's positive, no bashing, no hate, no racial overtone. Positve displays kill the hype of race, IMO. It has always been "black" this/that. Even before "we" had a say so.

Look at it this way also, if that kid were to get arrested, he would a black male youth.

I feel like I bounced around, but its a hard position to articulate.
