Document Summary

Part 2: tough guise: violent masculinity in action. Masculinity is all about playing a role, it is a pose. Being a role man is taking on this black hard guy type of pose. If white males are following this black gangster pose, where did these. Trench coat mafia school shooting: we know that they were outsiders that didn"t fit in and victimized by jocks. They weren"t strong and muscular but guns gave them the feeling that they are strong and muscular. Before a lot or school shootings occurred within the colored community and was never really publicized, but as soon as we see middle class white men start getting involved with school shootings, the media covers it extensively. Because now normal boys were getting involved with it. We have to take our focus off of. We have to confront the fact that men/males are the main perpetrators of violent acts.
