There are many reasons why people are called black sheep and it doesn't mean they are nasty or criminal stormtroop , so please widen that narrow vision. I am a black sheep because I was adopted by a family who never accepted  me I wasn't their blood and was rejected by all the relatives . Plus having an American father confirmed me as a no good Yank brat. So what am I guilty of?

I think it's meant more as metonym rather than something to be taken as a generalization for being bad. For myself I was more of a square peg trying to be made round after being taken into my step family from a kids home as I approached my teens. Never lasted long though as Mum chucked me out at 17 with sod all to my name apart from a black bin liner for my clothes having had my natural father described as "piss head" which to be fair, he was. Parents eh, who'd have em'  ;D
