Niggerish Staredown

When a black guy stares someone down with a look of pure hatred on his face. This can often be seen performed by black athletes directed toward a referee that has just made a call against them. It is usually preceded by the "niggerish expression of disbelief," which is characterized by a tell tale throwing up of the hands and furrowing of the brow in an extremely confused and angry look, accompanied by the phrase "WHAT THE FUCK?" and, in extreme cases, followed by the athlete purposely falling over backwards and laying on his back dramatically for a few seconds to emphasize the point that he "don't know why the fuck that nigga flagged me son."
