:jbhmm:....why? What if I've outgrown alot of bullshyt and don't want to partake in it anymore? Why am I not real if I go work a job instead of selling drugs, women or finessing?
Just at a point in life where I realize alot of shyt ingrained in us a kids was detrimental to our personal growth.....

What y'all say?

Man, woman, and child
I meet nikkas everyday who are out hustling and scamming everyday. They wish they could be sitting behind my desk or had some kinda trade. Trust me when I tell you you aren't seen as anything less becuz you have a legit job. Most of these cats don't wanna do what they do but they lack the skills and self esteem to change

Are you 15 OP?

No one acts like this when you become an adult.
I've never had anyone say I'm not black enough because I'm an engineer instead of a drug dealer.

When you get older you'll see

Change your surroundings. nikkas around me are in school, getting certs and feeding their families.

I thought this was gonna be about hypermasculinity and gender norms lol.
Surroundings is a generic answer....it's a mindstate...if that's the case rich ppl shouldn't be suicidal...

If you have people around you at 35 years old who question your manhood because you have a steady job.... iunno what to say breh, change your surroundings.

Sounds like you have some backwards-ass nikkas around you

I can't take anyone seriously would say some dumbshyt like that, especially if I was in my 30s

Bruh this thread ain't bout me..was speaking in general...I asked one of my homies this question and he didn't have an answer..so I thought I'd ask y'all opinions..but clearly ppl can't be objective
