The man is bringing me down

created by KaB0b0

General statement of disapproval towards authority and officers of the law (among other things) by minorities in the U.S.

Based solely around a feeling of long-present segregation and prejudice, this is an outcry of anger.

The principle is basically interpreted as a response to a society that seems to be holding the person uttering the phrase in a state of poverty and self-doubting apathy.


Example:   "I woke up late, tried to get to work, got busted going 36 in a 30 and got fined $75. When I got to work, I found out they docked my pay because I wasn't on time.. the Man is bringing me down!"
