New "Chicken Game" that features doing wheelies onto oncoming traffic called "Swerving". How long until you think we see a video where this goes horribly wrong? It almost did twice in this video lol.

You're talking about something else. You heard the word "status" and immediately assumed it meant what you had been studying. A common problem with education.

SES isn't status. Status is how a man is perceived by his peers and especially women. Women use male status as a primary means of deciding whom to have sex with. Low status men become incels. Men have many ways of achieving status: educational attainment, job success, the purchase of status symbols. What do black men have? None of this. Why do you think they purchase shiny status symbols if they have the money? And if they don't, what can they do? Stupid risky stunts.

Those with little status will do what they can to acquire it. The alternative, inceldom, is a fate worse than death. What does it matter if you die in the attempt? And if innocent American citizens die? Since when do all lives matter?

Classism has a new life these days among the educated. Calling working class deplorable or worse is fashionable, as you well know. This trend has spread to the rest of society. I thought education was supposed to make you less bigoted, but it merely rearranges your bigotries to politically acceptable victims.

You used "themselves" in the singular. This is a grammar error. Don't let the bastards bully you.

SES isn't status

? literally what SES stands for..

"Socioeconomic status (SES) is the social standing or class of an individual or group. It is often measured as a combination of education, income and occupation. Examinations of socioeconomic status often reveal inequities in access to resources, plus issues related to privilege, power and control."

"Socioeconomic status (SES) is a composite measure of an individual's economic and sociological standing. It is a complex assessment measured in a variety of ways that account for a person's work experience and economic and social position in relation to others, based on income, education, and occupation."

SES isn't status. Status is how a man is perceived by his peers and especially women.

from the last sentence in my previous comment (peers are part of one's micro/mesosystem, if things are bad in that area during childhood-adulthood development it potentially leads to behavior like this or worse regardless of skin color, especially if relations are bad in multiple areas in one's different systems and stages of development, as it usually is with the lower classes, as I've been trying to explain lol):

"Local politics (and as you know, politicians can be monsters) play a huge role in this as well, which is why certain states are more afflicted by this than others - a child's mesosystem is fucked up"

The image I linked to depicts the relationship (or "status") between one and their school, organized religion (or some form of organized activity outside of school/home), and their friend group/peers. The mesosystem describes the status of the relationships between these things (including friends/peers!), they are part of one's microsystem. "Relationship" and "status" could be used synonymously, here.

"Those with little status will do what they can to acquire it."

"What does it matter if you die in the attempt?"

"Since when do all lives matter?"

Exactly, I'm glad we agree. If you grow up surrounded by a life filled with unfair systems: an uncle who lives with you smoking crack/shooting up heroin in the next room, a mom who's never home and doesn't care about shit, a dad who's not around, a school system that doesn't help and gives you a hard time when you're already struggling and hasn't the slightest clue, a health system you can't go to for help, and authority treating you or a family member like a dog even if due to association, neighborhood or skin color (these are all parts of one's microsystem, with the mesosystem status being shit), do you really think that type of childhood and lifestyle inspires one to give a fuck about, let alone have respect for the law, the authority, their society or country? No. If you grew up like this, and there's something you want to do that you can get away with, a law or sign won't stop you. The only thing I said that differs from your perspective is that "all races are capable of being afflicted by SES". I know this first-hand. I feel that this is strongly an issue of class, whereas you feel it's one of race. But the truth is, you could be any skin color, and be born into a truly fucked situation that affects your developement and view on things.

Be well d00d.

You are talking about a specific academic concept. I mean, come on, "plus issues related to privilege, power and control" is an SJW tell. I'm talking about male status, specifically status displays in public.
