english: Maybe they exaggerated their style because they thought that they were not considered to be quite civilized, and they transferred that generational attitude or anxiety onto us, the next generation, so much so that when I was growing up, if ever on the television news or radio a report came up about a black person committing some crime — a mugging, a murder, a burglary — we winced along with our parents, because they were letting the side down.
non_english: Možda su prenaglasili svoj stil jer su mislili da ih ne smatraju civilizovanim, i preneli su taj generacijski stav zabrinutosti na nas, sledeću generaciju, toliko da, dok sam odrastao, ako bi ikada na televizijskim vestima ili na radiju reporter razotkrio crnu osobu koja je počinila neki zločin - pljačku, ubistvo, provalu - mi bismo se trgli zajedno sa našim roditeljima, jer bi izneverili svoju stranu.
