There was a great scene in The Wire during Season 4. In this scene a group of students (black) are separated from their peers because their behavior tends to disrupt the other students. In this new class, it's part run by a former Baltimore City Police Commander. During one session they get the students in small groups to build a famous structure (Big Ben, Eiffel Tower, etc.) without the instructions. One team wins and their prize is a nice dinner with the teacher in a downtown steak house.
When the students arrive they are culturally and almost feel alienated. They are not use to somewhat fine dining like they don't know what rare, medium rare, etc. means on a steak. One of them just wants a burger with fries. After the meal as they are walking out they feel all embarrassed, insecure or just defeated cause they know their "hard ass" look won't work at a place like that.
The next day the students ask them how it went they were all gloating about how it was great and how they ate everything and such. Just an example of how they want to look all bad ass in front of their peers just to gain street cred.
Long story but what the person above posted reminded me of that scene.

Sounds like the Obamas.
They are always claiming they are down with struggle and the next day eating good in the neighborhood with celebrities.
They don't look polished at either because they are fake and disingenuous. They are not confident in themselves and are always pretending.
Big Mike loves to think he is oppressed while sitting in her multi million dollar home in Martha's Vineyard.
