I walk with a bop. It's a confident walk. It's embedded in my brain to walk like that, with my chest out and my head up. It's how I was raised. My parents walk the same way, both of them. I couldn't walk straight even if I tried. Everyone in NYC walks like that (well not in the middle of Manhattan). I don't think about it.
It's not just the black people either, I'm not black, I'm Latino. Everyone out here does it. Even the occasional white boy you might come across. Every time I go out of town some dick head has something to say about it like "oh you think you hard? Stop walking like you from the ghetto"... LOL, I am from the hood. But it's not only ghetto people who walk like that, even wiggers in the burbs do it.
